We Can Help you Fight Back After Civil Seizure

Civil forfeiture can happen to anyone—all it takes is for law enforcement to contend that your property was involved in a crime.

Common examples of civil forfeiture include:

  • Law enforcement seizing your car after someone else is arrested for DUI in your vehicle
  • Having cash confiscated without being charged for any crime
  • The IRS seizing your bank account in its entirety on the basis of “suspicious activity”
  • Home forfeiture after someone else conducts suspected illegal activities

Civil forfeiture is historically subject to extensive abuse by law enforcement and the government.
