Any asset -- personal or business property, including money -- even remotely related to criminal activity is at risk of confiscation by the government. As an experienced Miami assault forfeiture criminal defense lawyer can tell you, if Uncle Sam wants it, they will go after it. No matter what the crime -- be it drugs, prostitution, unauthorized computer access, solicitation of a minor, racketeering or even drunk driving -- the government has the legal authority to seize and commence forfeiture proceedings against your hard-earned assets.

Asset forfeiture is becoming more and more rampant among state and federal agencies. Law enforcement is creating specialized units to go after your assets if the government can prove by a preponderance of the evidence -- a low burden of proof (51%) -- that your asset is related to criminal activity. It is important to understand that criminal charges and a conviction are NOT required to allow the government to take your assets. If you are arrested, or even suspected of criminal activity, you may be at risk. To protect your property, you should contact an experienced Fort Lauderdale asset forfeiture criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
