What is Asset Forfeiture? Asset forfeiture is a legal process where the government takes control of your property – cash, vehicles, real estate, and other assets – based on allegations of criminal activity. While the government may have a case, it’s crucial to understand your rights and challenge the seizure. Often, forfeiture proceedings are based on allegations, not convictions, creating significant vulnerabilities in the government’s case.
Our Approach to Forfeiture Defense:
- Experienced Legal Expertise: Mr. Rucci’s extensive experience in federal seizure and civil asset forfeiture cases provides a critical advantage in navigating the complex legal landscape.
- Specialized Focus: Unlike general practice attorneys, Mr. Rucci’s sole focus on asset forfeiture allows him to dedicate all his resources and expertise to your defense.
- Aggressive Representation: We will challenge the government’s allegations at every stage of the process, including filing a verified claim, answering the forfeiture complaint, seeking an adversarial preliminary hearing, and challenging the seizure through a motion to suppress and dismiss.
- Contingency Fee Basis: We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay our legal fees if we successfully recover your assets. This allows you to access top-tier legal representation without the upfront cost.
Our Services Include:
- Civil Asset Forfeiture Defense: We fight to have your seized assets returned, regardless of the underlying criminal charges.
- Motion to Suppress Hearings: We will aggressively pursue motions to suppress evidence obtained illegally, weakening the government’s case.
- Preliminary Hearing Defense: We represent you at all preliminary hearings, ensuring your rights are protected.
- Co-Counsel Representation: We often collaborate with other attorneys as co-counsel, expanding our resources and expertise in complex forfeiture cases.
