Minnesota Forfeiture Defense Lawyer
Generally, forfeiture is the State’s seizure of assets through a civil proceeding. Minnesota law allows that State to acquire a defendant’s assets if the State believes those assets were used in, or acquired by, the alleged criminal act. A forfeiture action is a separate proceeding from a criminal charge.
Forfeitures can result in a temporary or permanent loss of assets, such as a vehicle or home. It is important to consult an attorney regarding your property or asset forfeiture right away. Because the State can hold your assets, financial problems may quickly arise due to a sudden, unanticipated freeze of funds.
As your devoted legal representative, we will:
• Be available 24 hours a day to answer your questions and alleviate your concerns
• Investigate your case by reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses and hiring private investigators if necessary
• Thoroughly explain your forfeiture, what the possible defenses are and what the likely outcomes will be
• Explain what to expect in court and attend all court appearances with you
• Spend invaluable one-on-one time with you to ensure you are fully aware of all aspects of the case
• Respect you, listen to you and genuinely care about your future
Unlike some attorneys, we make every case a top priority. We listen to our clients and don't judge them. Most importantly, we will never charge you an unjustified fee only to ignore your case and leave you in the dark. We promise to keep you informed from start to finish and explain every calculated decision we make. With our guidance and zealous advocacy, you will feel comfortable in making a carefully-planned decision about your future.
