Drug Charges

TIP: Many law enforcement agencies are aggressively taking advantage of "asset forfeiture" laws which permit them to seize property, including cash and other assets, which are derived from illegal drug transactions. Such actions are often taken when someone is caught with drugs and a large amount of cash on or near their person. The procedures for obtaining the return of property seized under asset forfeiture laws are complicated and are not designed for the convenience of the property owner. This is true even if the property taken from you was not derived from illegal activity. Anyone confronted with this situation should immediately consult with an attorney experienced in these matters.
