Miami Asset Forfeiture Attorney
Asset Forfeiture in Criminal Trials in Florida
Under both state and federal law, government agencies have the authority to seize money and property in certain situations. This is referred to as asset forfeiture.
Asset forfeiture can have a significant impact on a defendant in a criminal case, limiting his or her ability to retain legal counsel and to even pay living expenses or provide for his or her family.
Personal property may be at risk if law enforcement can prove that it was obtained with money that resulted from carrying out criminal acts. Boats, cars and even real estate may be at risk of being seized if law enforcement can prove it was used to commit these crimes.
Am I at Risk of Asset Forfeiture?
There are particular situations which may warrant asset forfeiture, including:
- Money obtained in drug trafficking cases
- Property (boats, motor vehicles, real estate, etc.) that has been obtained via drug trafficking, fraud or other illegal activity
- Money obtained via fraud, such as by mortgage fraud, mail fraud or wire fraud
- Motor vehicles, real estate or other property that was used to commit drug crimes or fraud
- RICO violations and cases involving racketeering
- Money or property related to a money laundering case
However, these factors may vary depending on the unique case.
