Drug Charges and Seizures of Property and Assets

Under the terms of the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), the government can seize any property or assets it believes you acquired through illegal criminal drug activity. Additionally, local police may seize property as well by similar terms under state law. Under federal law, RICO seizures are a civil matter and are conducted separately from your criminal trial. As a result, even if you are acquitted in your criminal trial, you could still lose your property under a RICO proceeding. Of course, in many cases, RICO or seizure motions are initiated in order to freeze bank accounts and essentially deprive the accused of needed resources to pay for their defense.

Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of seizure motions and RICO proceedings and are prepared to challenge them when they are initiated against our client. Due to the financial impact they can have on your ability to defend yourself, it's essential that you get an experienced drug charges defense attorney involved in your case as soon as possible to prevent bank accounts and other assets from being frozen or seized.
