Federal forfeiture and seizure laws allow the government to take property believed to be connected to criminal activity, often without a conviction. If your assets have been seized by the government, it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney who understands these complex laws. At Naderi Law, we are dedicated to helping clients recover their property and defending their rights in federal forfeiture cases.
Federal forfeiture is the process by which the government seizes property that they claim is connected to criminal activity. This can include cash, real estate, vehicles, or other assets, even if the owner hasn’t been convicted of a crime.
Yes, in civil asset forfeiture cases, the government can seize property without charging you with a crime. They only need to show probable cause that the property is connected to illegal activity. However, you have the right to challenge the seizure in court.
To recover your property, you need to file a claim challenging the seizure. An experienced attorney can help you navigate the legal process, dispute the government’s claims, and work toward getting your property returned.
Civil forfeiture allows the government to seize property without charging the owner with a crime, while criminal forfeiture happens after a criminal conviction. Both types of forfeiture require legal expertise to challenge effectively.
The government can seize various types of property, including cash, bank accounts, vehicles, homes, and even personal belongings. Any property they believe is tied to criminal activity can be targeted for seizure.
Facing a federal forfeiture case was overwhelming, but Naderi Law protected my rights and helped get my property back. I’m incredibly grateful."
