Rucci Law: Protecting Your Property – Asset Forfeiture & Real Estate in California

Facing a civil asset forfeiture case involving your real estate? At Rucci Law, we understand the immense stress and potential financial devastation this process can inflict. The government’s ability to seize assets – particularly real estate – is a serious concern, and we are dedicated to rigorously defending your rights and ensuring your property remains yours.

Understanding Civil Asset Forfeiture

Civil asset forfeiture is a legal process where the government seeks to take property suspected of being involved in criminal activity, even if the owner hasn’t been formally charged with a crime. Unlike criminal forfeiture, which occurs after a criminal conviction, this process can begin before any criminal charges are filed. The government often targets property linked to drug trafficking, money laundering, or other illegal activities.

Common Concerns and Potential Overreach

• Lack of Due Process: The burden of proof in asset forfeiture cases is significantly lower than in criminal cases. The government generally only needs to demonstrate a preponderance of the evidence – meaning it’s more likely than not – that the property is connected to criminal activity.
• Property Rights: Your property rights are fundamental. The government’s actions must be justified by clear and convincing evidence, not just suspicion.
• Inflated Seizures: We’ve seen cases where property is seized based on circumstantial evidence or weak connections, leading to substantial losses.
• Government Overreach: The scope of asset forfeiture laws has expanded over time, creating potential for abuse.
