Recovering Money Seized in Forfeiture Proceedings

Assisting with the Recovery of Unlawfully Seized Assets

In recent years, governmental authorities have aggressively used laws permitting the government to seek forfeiture of assets claimed to be linked to criminal activity. Armed with extensive powers intended originally to combat organized crime and narcotics traffickers, zealous prosecutors have often exercised these powers broadly and sometimes recklessly, sweeping up assets of innocent parties.

Where monies have been seized unlawfully, the Law Offices of Bernard D’Orazio, P.C. can bring proceedings to challenge the government’s actions. We actively represent parties seeking to obtain the return of assets wrongfully seized by the government in connection with forfeiture proceedings brought in the federal and New York State courts. Contact us to speak with an experienced attorney about recovering unlawfully seized assets.
