Civil forfeiture is a legal process that allows law enforcement to seize property—such as cash, cars, or even real estate—if they allege it is connected to criminal activity. Civil forfeiture cases are brought against the property itself, not the owner. This means that even if the owner is never charged with a crime, they may still lose their property if they cannot prove it was obtained legally.
We can defend your property rights by both arguing for the exclusion of illegally-obtained evidence, but also by presenting a full account of your circumstances to demonstrate that forfeiture is inappropriate.
