Understanding Asset Forfeiture

Asset forfeiture is a legal process where the government seizes property believed to be connected to criminal activity. While the government may have evidence, the burden of proof rests with them to demonstrate a link between your property and illegal activities. Often, errors, omissions, or insufficient evidence are present in forfeiture cases, creating an opportunity to defend your rights.
