Asset Forfeiture

El Paso Asset Forfeiture Defense Lawyer

Even if you are not convicted of a crime, your assets can be seized and never returned. Law enforcement officials and agencies may even keep your assets for their personal use. In asset forfeiture, the legal title of property is permanently transferred to the state. To get your property back, you need to show proof of every single cent you used to pay for the property. The burden of proof is on you to prove that you never committed a crime involving the property.

Illegal Search and Seizure of Your Assets

Police misconduct rums rampant in actions of illegal search and seizure. Even if there is lack of evidence of a crime or if the arrest was made on false charges, the police can seize your assets. Assets can include:

  • Bank accounts
  • Cash
  • Homes
  • Real property
  • Cars
  • Businesses
  • Boats
  • Furniture

They can even seize things that belong to your children, such as clothing. Police confiscation is a form of injustice that innocent people face in connection with other charges. Perhaps the most disturbing part about asset forfeiture is that the agencies can seize the property and keep it — even if you are innocent.
