California Criminal Defense Attorneys Assist With Asset Forfeiture in Drug Cases

Asset Forfeiture

If you've been accused of selling or manufacturing drugs, you know you face serious criminal charges. What you may not know is that your financial assets may also be threatened. Unfortunately, despite the protections offered by the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, police can seize assets they believe were obtained through criminal enterprise. What's worse, they don't have to convict you of a crime or even arrest you in order to do so.

Once reserved for large-scale drug dealers and other operators of vast criminal enterprises, asset forfeiture now impacts low-level criminal offenders and even individuals who are never charged with a crime.

Fortunately, legislation passed several years ago attempted to reform the asset forfeiture process, and while police still abuse their ability to seize property, you can now be represented by a lawyer, and may be entitled to have the seized assets temporarily returned to you during the course of the investigation if you can prove the seizure poses a hardship.

If you stand accused of a California drug crime, a skilled criminal defense attorney can work to protect your assets as well as your freedom.
