| Asset Forfeiture Means Fighting For the Return of Your Property. |
| |
| Many felony crimes allow the government to seize and seek to forfeit your interest, cash or property that was used to promote specified criminal activity, or which represents the proceeds of specified criminal activity. It may not seem fair, but the government seizes property it believes is related to criminal activity all the time. When you receive a notice of forfeiture, your must make a claim within the required time frame, which is typically within 20 days of receiving the notice, or you will forfeit your claim to the seized assets through an administrative forfeiture. If you receive a forfeiture notice, you must retain qualified legal counsel immediately or you could lose your property forever. |
| |
| In many cases, the government acts aggressively and seizes assets without first building a case that the assets are, in fact, forfeitable assets. Owners who do not act promptly to make a claim for the return of their property may forever lose their right to seek the return of those assets.
