Understanding Asset Forfeiture

Federal and state asset forfeiture statutes allow the federal government to seize property that was either used to commit a crime or if it was gained from the criminal activity. Some prosecutors use forfeiture laws in drug trafficking, fraud cases, or as a bargaining chip in negotiations. Our attorneys are experienced in helping our clients explore their options and defend their rights in asset forfeiture cases.

The government can seize assets even before the underlying criminal case is resolved. To protect your rights and prevent the forfeiture of your property, contact us as soon as possible.

Even if you have already been indicted, our attorneys can become involved at any stage of your case to determine whether you may face asset forfeiture. We will take aggressive action in your case and use our strategy, resources, and experience to develop an effective defense to asset forfeiture in your case.

In a recent case, the San Antonio criminal defense lawyers at Rush & Gransee were successful in getting over $300,000 returned to a client suspected of illegally transferring money overseas. Initially the government alleged money laundering and various violations of banking regulations. Because of our quick and thorough investigation, all monies were returned and no charges were filed.

We are experienced in protecting the assets of our clients including:

• Cash
• Motor vehicles: boats, cars,

Often times, asset seizure will become an issue in suspected money laundering and drug trafficking cases. The government is often looking to assert that the source of a person's income is from illegitimate or illegal means. Our attorneys will help you collect and prepare a paper trail in an attempt to prove the legitimate source of your assets and prevent forfeiture.
