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

I cannot thank him enough.
“When I met Richard Jaffe, it was the worst time in my life. I was being accused of a crime that I didn't commit and I didn't know how to prove it. When I came in, he listened to me, believed me, and fought for me. He was there for both trials, and if it was not for his expertise I'd be sitting on death row right now. I cannot thank him enough.”
