What is Asset Forfeiture?

Federal asset forfeiture is a legal process where the government seizes property suspected of being connected to criminal activity. Even if you haven’t been formally charged with a crime, your assets can be targeted. The government’s goal is to disrupt criminal enterprises by eliminating their financial resources. However, the process is often fraught with legal challenges, and it’s crucial to have a skilled attorney on your side.

Our Approach to Asset Forfeiture Defense

Attorney Sebastian Rucci takes a personalized approach to every case. We begin by thoroughly investigating the government’s allegations and identifying any procedural or legal weaknesses in their case. Our firm’s years of experience allow us to anticipate the government’s arguments and build a strong defense strategy. We will challenge the validity of the seizure, question the evidence, and fight to protect your rights under the Fourth Amendment and other legal protections. Specifically, we can file a verified claim for the seized assets, an answer challenging the allegations in the verified forfeiture complaint, seek an adversarial preliminary hearing if one was denied, and challenge the seizure by filing a motion to suppress and dismiss on multiple procedural grounds demanding the immediate return of the seized assets.
