Recover seized assets

The property rights of criminal law suspects sometimes receive little consideration among state and federal law enforcement officials. We bring a broad understanding of Florida forfeiture laws to matters involving confiscated cars, drug charges, "drug houses," and other unproven allegations of ill-gotten gains. In some cases, provisions of the Florida Homestead Act can be applied to protect the property rights of defendants.

In some cases, property can be confiscated and forfeited, even though criminal charges are never filed. Our law firm has represented a wide range of forfeiture respondents in this unique area of law. We handle property forfeiture cases related to charges involving:

• Drug distribution and trafficking offenses
• Federal drug conspiracy
• Money laundering
• Embezzlement
• Fraud
• DUI vehicle seizure
