Central Florida Criminal and Civil Forfeiture Attorneys
If you have been charged with a felony, particularly a felony involving drug trafficking, it is likely the government will seize your home, automobiles, boats, cash and other items. The Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act gives state law enforcement agents wide latitude to take any items they believe were used in the commission of a felony or acquired from the proceeds of a felony. Federal law enforcement has the right to seize items under a broad range of laws. The government can take your property before you have been convicted of anything.
Although it may not seem like it, you still have rights in this situation. If the government has seized your property, you have the right to a hearing, and you have the right to have a lawyer represent you in this hearing. Orlando Asset Forfeiture Attorney N. Ryan LaBar of LaBar Adams has handled a number of forfeiture cases. He can represent you in your forfeiture case, as well as in the underlying criminal charges that led to the seizure of your assets.
