Located in Rancho Cordova, California, our firm, led by attorney Sebastian Rucci, provides dedicated asset forfeiture defense services to clients throughout California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Michigan.
Understanding Asset Forfeiture
Asset forfeiture is a serious legal matter. It occurs when law enforcement agencies seek to take property believed to be connected to criminal activity, even if the owner hasn’t been formally charged with a crime. The government must prove a connection between the seized property and the alleged illegal activity. Often, these cases are based on questionable evidence or procedural errors, creating opportunities for defense.

Attorney Sebastian Rucci brings 27 years of legal experience to every case. He has a proven record of challenging asset forfeiture claims and safeguarding clients’ assets. Our firm focuses exclusively on forfeiture defense, allowing us to concentrate our resources and expertise on this specialized area of law. We understand the Fourth Amendment, civil asset forfeiture statutes, and the critical importance of due process.
Our Services Include:
- Preliminary Hearing Defense: We aggressively challenge the government’s justification for the seizure at the preliminary hearing stage, arguing that probable cause is lacking.
- Complaint Response: We meticulously analyze the forfeiture complaint and file a detailed response, raising legal challenges to its validity.
- Motion to Suppress: We file motions to suppress evidence obtained illegally, weakening the government’s case.
