Forfeiture

Hicks, Motto & Ehrlich provides legal counseling and litigation services to those whose property the federal government seeks to forfeit for being connected with illegal activity.
Simply stated, forfeiture is the legal process by which the ownership of property - houses, cars, planes, cash, bank accounts, etc. - is non-consensually transferred from its owner to the government. Civil forfeiture has recently gained new life as an instrument of federal law enforcement, particularly as a weapon in the "war on drugs". However, the ease with which the government can seize property and the potential hardships caused to innocent owners who seek to recover their property once the government has seized it have elicited concern from courts and commentators alike. |
