Asset Forfeiture: Protecting Your Property and Your Rights with Rucci Law

At Rucci Law, we understand that the threat of asset forfeiture can be terrifying. The government’s ability to seize property, even without a criminal conviction, raises serious concerns about due process and the protection of your hard-earned assets. We specialize in challenging these seizures and fiercely defending your rights under California law.

What is Asset Forfeiture?

Asset forfeiture is a legal process where the government seeks to take ownership of your property – including cash, vehicles, real estate, and business assets – based on allegations that the property is connected to criminal activity. Unlike a traditional criminal case where a conviction is required, forfeiture can occur under various statutes, including:

• Drug Offenses: Property linked to drug trafficking.
• Money Laundering: Funds derived from illegal activities.
• Tax Evasion: Assets linked to unpaid taxes.
• Civil Asset Forfeiture: This is a particularly concerning area, often involving seizures based solely on suspicion, without requiring criminal charges.

Your Rights in an Asset Forfeiture Case

Despite the government’s power, you have significant constitutional protections. Rucci Law is dedicated to ensuring you understand and exercise these rights, which include:

• Right to Notice: You are entitled to timely and specific notification of the forfeiture proceedings against your property.
• Right to Due Process: This guarantees a fair hearing where the government must prove a connection between your property and criminal activity.
• Right to Counsel: You have the right to be represented by an experienced attorney.
• Challenge to Probable Cause: We meticulously review the evidence used to justify the seizure, seeking to demonstrate a lack of probable cause.
