Understanding Forfeiture in California and Federal Jurisdictions: How Crown Law Firm Can Help

Expert Forfeiture Defense in California and Federal Cases - Crown Law Firm

Forfeiture laws can feel overwhelming and unjust, especially when your hard-earned money or property is suddenly seized by authorities. In California and on the Federal level, forfeiture cases often arise from allegations of criminal activity, leaving individuals or businesses in a difficult legal battle. However, with the right legal representation, you can fight for the return of your assets.

At Crown Law Firm, we specialize in defending clients against forfeiture actions, leveraging our deep knowledge of California State and Federal forfeiture laws. Our track record speaks for itself: we’ve successfully negotiated the return of assets seized in criminal investigations and even at airports. Here’s how we can make a difference in your case.

What Is Forfeiture, and Why Does It Matter?

Forfeiture is the legal process by which the government seizes property or money believed to be connected to criminal activity. This can occur under California state laws or federal statutes, such as:

  • California Health and Safety Code Section 11470, often used in drug-related cases.
  • Federal Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act (CAFRA), used in various criminal investigations.

Property subject to forfeiture can include cash, vehicles, real estate, and other valuable assets. In many cases, the government can seize assets even before proving criminal wrongdoing, placing the burden on the owner to prove their property was not involved in illegal activity.


Why You Need Experienced Legal Representation for Forfeiture Cases

Facing forfeiture alone is risky. The government has significant resources and experience in pursuing these cases, making it essential to have a skilled attorney by your side. Crown Law Firm has a proven track record of navigating the complexities of forfeiture law, giving our clients the best chance at recovering their property.

We provide tailored legal strategies based on your unique situation, whether you’re dealing with a seizure:

  • At an airport: Authorities often seize cash from travelers under suspicion of money laundering.
  • During a criminal investigation: Seizures can occur in connection with alleged drug offenses, fraud, or other crimes.

Our approach includes scrutinizing the government’s evidence, challenging improper procedures, and negotiating directly with prosecutors to secure favorable outcomes.
