Have the police seized your money or property in Atlanta? If so, a civil asset forfeiture attorney from the Hasson Law Group, LLP can help you. Our team of legal professionals can help you to fight against government seizures in order to help people like you to get their property back. Just because the government took your property doesn’t mean they can keep it.
Civil asset forfeiture is the legal process that is designed to protect your property rights at all times. Under civil law, you have the due process right to challenge these asset seizures to make the government prove that they are entitled to keep your property in Georgia. This is where a professional civil asset forfeiture attorney from Hasson Law Group, LLP comes into play.
Understanding Civil Asset Forfeiture
Before ownership is forfeited to the government, there must be proof that the asset itself was used to commit a crime or is the proceeds of a crime. A civil asset forfeiture lawyer can pursue the government’s case by challenging the legality of the police’s action. We also can implement a variety of defenses that can be used in your case. Some of these defenses include:
- Innocent owner
- Notice requirement
- Commingled assets
- Legitimate source
- Statute of limitations
While many of these defenses may be effective on their own, most cases can use more than one defense. Crafting a winning defense depends on the specifics of your case in Atlanta. The stronger we make your case, the more likely that the government will fail to meet its burden either due to a lack of evidence or because the case fell apart.
