Birmingham Civil Forfeitures/Seizures Attorneys
Protecting Your Property & Your Rights

Our firm will aggressively advocate on your behalf, navigating the complex process of legally regaining your property for you and answering all of your questions along the way.

- Having cash confiscated without being charged for any crime
- The IRS seizing your bank account in its entirety on the basis of “suspicious activity”
