The United States government has been unlawfully seizing the property of Americans for years. In fact, over $2.4 billion worth of goods have been confiscated from Americans by the government in the past two decades. Some items which are seized include homes, vehicles, and money. If the government has confiscated your property in a civil forfeiture, you should contact a Los Angeles civil forfeiture lawyer at Jackson & Associates.

Remember, you do not have to have been convicted of a crime or even have committed a crime for the government to seize your property. If a friend borrows your vehicle and uses it for selling drugs, or performing some other illegal activity, that may lead to a civil forfeiture of the vehicle. In this situation the government does not have to pay the owner of the vehicle or replace the vehicle.

The Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000 (CAFRA) states that the burden of proof falls on the government, meaning that it must prove that the item to be confiscated was involved in illegal activity. If your property has been seized in a civil forfeiture by the United States government, you should contact an experienced Los Angeles civil forfeiture attorney at Jackson & Associates immediately.
