Understanding Civil Asset Forfeiture

Federal asset forfeiture is a legal process where the government seizes property believed to be connected to criminal activity. Often, individuals are unaware of the seizure process or the legal grounds upon which it’s based. The government’s burden of proof is high, and we meticulously scrutinize every aspect of the case, from the initial seizure to the final judgment.

Our Services: A Comprehensive Defense

Sebastian Rucci and the team at Forfeiture USA offer a full spectrum of services to combat asset forfeiture, including:

1. Verified Claim Challenges: We file and vigorously defend against verified forfeiture complaints, challenging the allegations and disputing the government’s evidence.
2. Answer to Complaints: We draft and file comprehensive answers, presenting legal arguments and defenses against the forfeiture claims.
3. Preliminary Hearing Advocacy: If a preliminary hearing was denied, we strategically prepare and argue for its reinstatement, ensuring your rights are protected.
4. Motion to Suppress & Dismiss: We file motions to suppress evidence and dismiss the case based on procedural violations, constitutional rights infringements (including Fourth Amendment protections), and insufficient evidence.
5. Co-Counsel Support: We frequently collaborate with other attorneys, providing specialized expertise in asset forfeiture defense throughout the United States.
