Civil forfeiture occurs when the government (such as District Attorneys, Customs, or Police) seizes a citizen’s property or money, alleging that it represents proceeds of unlawful activity.

Our clients most often encounter this issue in two scenarios:

• Cash transportation: carrying money from one place to another and being stopped by law enforcement, who then seize the funds.
• Undeclared cash at the border: when entering the U.S. with undeclared cash, which is typically seized immediately once discovered.

In both situations, the key to recovering your property is demonstrating that the money is legitimate and unrelated to any crime. This often requires presenting proof of income, documentation of lawful transactions, or statements from friends or relatives showing legitimate reasons for the transfer of funds (such as avoiding high banking fees).

At Demidchik Law Firm, our attorneys have successfully handled numerous civil forfeiture cases. We know how to build strong arguments, present compelling evidence, and fight to return seized property to our clients.
