With 27 years of legal expertise specializing in civil asset forfeiture, Attorney Rucci brings a unique and critical perspective to every case.
Understanding Civil Asset Forfeiture
Civil asset forfeiture is a legal process where law enforcement agencies seize property suspected of being involved in criminal activity. It’s often a controversial process, and the rules surrounding it can be complex and heavily stacked against the property owner. Many individuals are unaware of their rights and the procedures involved, leading to unintentional losses. That’s where our firm’s specialized knowledge comes in.
Our Approach to Forfeiture Defense
Attorney Rucci’s approach is centered around a highly personalized and strategic defense. We begin by conducting a thorough investigation, meticulously examining the evidence presented by the government. We’ll challenge the validity of the seizure, arguing that the government hasn’t met its burden of proof – demonstrating a direct connection between the seized property and criminal activity. Our services include:
- Verified Claim Filing: We’ll file a verified claim to contest the forfeiture and protect your rights.
- Answer to Forfeiture Complaint: We will prepare and file a detailed answer, challenging the allegations.
- Preliminary Hearing Representation: We will aggressively pursue an adversarial preliminary hearing if one was denied, ensuring a fair hearing and opportunity to challenge the government’s case.
- Motion to Suppress and Dismiss: If appropriate, we’ll file a motion to suppress evidence and dismiss the case based on procedural flaws or violations of your constitutional rights, particularly the Fourth Amendment.

Attorney Rucci’s years of experience and specialized expertise make him a formidable opponent. We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we successfully recover your assets – a significant advantage during a stressful and potentially expensive legal battle.
