Asset Forfeiture Attorney

Criminals often do what they do because of their desire for material gain. The government has the ability to take possession of property it believes to have been obtained illegally. This is known as asset forfeiture. Asset forfeiture is an extremely powerful law enforcement tool. Not only does it reduce the incentive for a criminal to act illegally, it can later be used to financially support law enforcement programs that need additional funding. In essence, seizing illegally obtained material goods takes the profit out of many forms of criminal activity. Asset forfeiture makes it impossible for criminals to actively profit from their crimes.
