Birmingham Civil Forfeitures/Seizures Attorneys
Protecting Your Property & Your Rights

We Can Help you Fight Back After Civil Seizure
Civil forfeiture can happen to anyone—all it takes is for law enforcement to contend that your property was involved in a crime.
Common examples of civil forfeiture include:
- Law enforcement seizing your car after someone else is arrested for DUI in your vehicle
- Having cash confiscated without being charged for any crime
- The IRS seizing your bank account in its entirety on the basis of “suspicious activity”
- Home forfeiture after someone else conducts suspected illegal activities
