Manhattan Criminal Forfeiture Attorney
Federal law enforcement agents are increasingly using forfeiture as a means to gain leverage over defendants facing drug crimes, white collar crimes and other allegations. In a forfeiture proceeding, the government will take any assets it has reason to believe have been purchased with illegally obtained funds, or any money it believes was illegally obtained. Defendants can lose homes, cars and significant amounts of money through the forfeiture process without being found guilty of any crime. Asset forfeiture will hamper your life in numerous ways. In these situations, it is vital that you have a lawyer who will take on both your forfeiture and the underlying allegations that led to the forfeiture.
For nearly 40 years, New York City federal forfeiture attorney Ronald Kliegerman of Kliegerman & Joseph LLP has defended individuals throughout the region. Our law firm is ready to prepare a strong case to help you recover assets lost through forfeiture proceedings.
We Will Spare No Effort to Help You Recover Your Assets
The government has numerous procedural advantages in forfeiture proceedings. In criminal proceedings, the government has the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that you are in fact guilty of the crimes alleged. In civil forfeiture proceedings, you will have to prove to a judge's satisfaction that your assets were not the proceeds of a crime. This can be a difficult obstacle to overcome, but our law firm will be up to the challenge of making a strong claim on your behalf.
