Rucci Law: Fighting Drug Money Seizure in Los Angeles

Facing allegations of asset forfeiture stemming from drug money? At Rucci Law, we understand this is a terrifying and overwhelming experience. The government’s power to seize assets suspected of being linked to criminal activity can feel like an insurmountable obstacle. However, it’s crucial to understand your rights and recognize that the government’s actions aren’t always guaranteed. We’re a dedicated California criminal defense firm specializing in asset forfeiture cases, particularly those involving drug money seizure in the Los Angeles area.

Understanding Drug Money Seizure

Asset forfeiture is a legal process where the government seeks to take property believed to be connected to criminal activity. In drug money seizure cases, the government often relies on “probable cause” – a lower standard than “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” – to initiate the process. This means they don’t need to prove you intentionally used the money to fund illegal drug operations. Instead, they must demonstrate a connection between your assets and the criminal activity.

Your Constitutional Rights – A Cornerstone of Our Defense

At Rucci Law, we vehemently defend your constitutional rights, specifically:

Fourth Amendment Protection Against Unreasonable Searches and Seizures: We rigorously challenge the legality of any searches and seizures, scrutinizing the circumstances surrounding the alleged discovery of the assets.
Fifth Amendment Right to Due Process: We ensure you receive a fair hearing and that the government adheres to proper legal procedures throughout the forfeiture process.
Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel: We provide aggressive and experienced legal representation, leveraging our deep knowledge of forfeiture laws to protect your interests.

Common Government Overreach & Our Response

The government frequently uses broad interpretations of “connected property” to expand the scope of forfeiture. We’re adept at identifying and challenging these tactics, focusing on demonstrating a lack of direct evidence linking your assets to criminal activity. We investigate the source of funds, scrutinize financial records, and often uncover weaknesses in the government’s case. We’ll work to demonstrate that any alleged profits were derived from legitimate sources, or that the seizure is an overreach of governmental power.
