Asset forfeiture, often referred to as civil forfeiture or seizure is the practice of law enforcement confiscating private property on the basis that it may be linked, in some way, to an ongoing investigation or court case. The authority seizing such property is not required to prove that the property is in fact related to criminal activity or necessary to conduct some ongoing investigation. Even when there is no basis whatsoever for the seizure, the victims rarely voice their opposition for fear of retaliation by the police.

Shillinger Law’s goal is to stop permanent seizure and help retrieve clients’ money, assets, and property from government agencies.When your property is seized, these agencies must give you, the lawful owner, an opportunity to object and petition for the return of your belongings. Negotiating with the various seizing agencies can be a daunting process and should be handled by an experienced asset forfeiture attorney.

Attorney Löan T. Shillinger and her staff are committed to helping you and your family regain any property wrongly confiscated.
