Asset Forfeiture Attorney in Sacramento
Often, when the police arrest somebody for a drug crime, the police also conduct asset forfeiture, meaning they seize (take) the arrestee’s money or other property. Asset forfeiture can have drastic and far-reaching consequences for a person’s life. However, ultimately in court, the government must put on evidence to prove that the seized property was directly connected to criminal activity. Our Sacramento drug crimes attorney can file a motion for return of your seized assets, and if the motion is successful, your property will be returned to you.
