Civil forfeiture is a process in which law enforcement officers or other government agents seize assets (cash, real estate, cars, boats, planes, merchandise) from persons or businesses suspected of involvement with crime or illegal activity without charging the owners of the property with any crime.  While civil litigation generally involves a dispute between two private citizens, civil forfeiture involves a dispute between law enforcement and property that has been suspected of being involved in a crime. To get back the seized property, owners must show that the government did not have the legal right to take and keep the property through the forfeiture process. 

Alexander Fox Law has more than fifteen years experience in cases involving hundreds of millions of dollars where we have successfully negotiated settlements to get our clients their property back.  Civil forfeiture is a very specialized, technical area of the law which involves deadlines that cannot be missed.  Let us help you in your fight with the government if they attempt to take your property through criminal or civil forfeiture.

Knowing that clear, well-researched legal argument is the key to prevailing on appeal, Alexander Fox Law produces excellent appellate briefs and delivers exceptional oral arguments.  Our appellate team also provides critical pretrial and trial support in civil and criminal matters to assist with identifying and preserving appellate issues at trial, preparing favorable jury instructions, and pretrial motions.
