Rucci Law: Fighting for Your Rights in Federal Asset Forfeiture Cases

At Rucci Law, we understand the devastating impact that federal asset forfeiture can have on your life, your family, and your future. The process is often complex, confusing, and, frankly, frightening. Many individuals facing forfeiture aren’t fully aware of their rights, the legal procedures involved, or the potential for government overreach. We’re dedicated to providing clear, concise legal guidance and aggressively defending your constitutional rights in California.

What is Federal Asset Forfeiture?

Federal asset forfeiture is a legal process where the government seeks to seize property believed to be connected to criminal activity. It’s frequently used in drug trafficking, money laundering, and other serious offenses. However, the scope of what the government can seize has expanded significantly over the years, leading to concerns about due process and the protection of innocent individuals.

Common Concerns & Potential for Overreach

• Misdemeanors Leading to Forfeiture: You don’t have to be convicted of a serious crime to have your assets seized. Even a minor drug offense or traffic violation can trigger a forfeiture action.
• “Equitable Forfeiture”: This controversial legal theory allows the government to seize property if it has a “substantial link” to the crime, even without a criminal conviction.
• Lack of Due Process: The speed and complexity of the forfeiture process often leave defendants struggling to mount a proper defense.
