You may have seen examples of asset seizures on television or in the movies, so it might not be a surprise to learn that law enforcement can seize property or assets that were acquired through illicit means. However, did you know that you could lose your property forever even if you are never convicted of a crime? At the Dallas law firm of Spencer & Associates, we realize that state and federal laws allow the seizure of property that was used to commit a crime or acquired with "dirty money," but we know that law enforcement agencies often get too ambitious. When this happens, our team will help you protect your constitutional rights and get your property back as soon as possible.
The financial burden of asset forfeiture can be devastating. Seized bank accounts may make it impossible for a person to pay living expenses or business costs.
