Civil Asset Forfeiture Cases
Civil Asset Forfeiture Cases
Many visitors to my website are conducting legal research on civil asset forfeiture laws. I recall a time when I was handling a forfeiture case outside a Wayne County Circuit Court judge's courtroom. An older attorney was flipping through printouts from my website as we discussed forfeiture laws, and I had to laugh because he did not recognize me from the website.
To assist you in your research, I’ve compiled several relevant cases below. However, don’t hesitate to reach out to my office to discuss your situation! Even if your case seems hopeless, I have a track record of successfully challenging even the most difficult cases against the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office, the DEA, the FBI, and U.S. Customs.
