Rucci Law: Experienced Asset Forfeiture Defense in Los Angeles, California

Understanding Asset Forfeiture – A Critical Threat to Your Finances

At Rucci Law, we understand that the prospect of asset forfeiture can be terrifying. It’s a powerful tool used by law enforcement to seize property believed to be connected to criminal activity. However, the process isn’t always straightforward, and your rights are often at risk. Frequently, law enforcement oversteps, leading to the seizure of assets that haven’t been directly linked to any illegal activity. This is where we step in.

Asset forfeiture isn’t automatically granted. The government must demonstrate a strong connection between your property and a crime. This connection must be proven with clear and convincing evidence – often much more than the government is willing to reveal to you.

How Rucci Law Protects Your Rights During Forfeiture

We specialize in challenging asset forfeiture cases in California, meticulously examining every aspect of the government’s case. We focus on protecting your constitutional rights, including the Fifth Amendment’s protection against self-incrimination and the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process protections. Here’s what we do:

Investigation: We conduct our own independent investigation, looking for weaknesses in the government’s evidence and identifying potential procedural errors.
Legal Analysis: Our experienced attorneys analyze the government’s seizure petition, identifying flaws in the legal justification for the forfeiture.
Challenging Probable Cause: We scrutinize the evidence used to establish probable cause, arguing that it’s insufficient to justify the seizure.
Procedural Deficiencies: We aggressively pursue any procedural errors made by the government, which can significantly weaken their case.
Fifth Amendment Protections: We ensure you’re fully informed of your rights and protect you from self-incrimination during investigations.
