Rucci Law: Defending Your Rights Against House Seizure

Understanding House Seizure – A Threat to Your Property & Freedom

At Rucci Law, we understand the immense stress and anxiety that a house seizure can cause. Facing the prospect of losing your home – the place you’ve built your life – is terrifying. Often, these seizures stem from allegations connected to criminal investigations, but the legal process surrounding them is frequently fraught with potential for overreach and questionable application of the law. We’re dedicated to protecting your constitutional rights and ensuring the government acts within the bounds of the law.

What is a House Seizure? A house seizure, formally known as civil asset forfeiture, is a legal process where the government attempts to take your property – typically your home – based on allegations that it’s been used to facilitate criminal activity, even if you haven’t been formally charged with a crime. It’s important to recognize that the government doesn’t need to prove you committed a crime to seize your assets; they only need to demonstrate a connection between your property and illegal activity.

Your Rights During a House Seizure Investigation

The Government’s Burden: The government’s responsibility is significant. They must typically prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that your property was involved in a criminal enterprise. This isn’t a simple ‘reasonable suspicion’ – it requires a demonstrable link.

Key Rights You Have:

• Right to Counsel: You have the absolute right to an attorney. We are experienced in navigating the complex legal landscape of asset forfeiture cases in California.
• Right to Challenge the Evidence: We will rigorously examine the government’s evidence, seeking to demonstrate that it’s insufficient or obtained illegally.
• Right to Due Process: You have the right to a fair hearing and to challenge any actions taken against your property.
• Protection Against Unreasonable Searches and Seizures: We will ensure that all searches and seizures comply with the Fourth Amendment.

Common Grounds for Defense: At Rucci Law, we often challenge seizures based on:

• Lack of Probable Cause
• Insufficient Evidence Linking Property to Criminal Activity
• Errors in the Seizure Process
