Question: What is a civil forfeiture?
Answer: A civil forfeiture is a separate action that stems from, if there is a crime that you’re charged with and the police, for example, take your vehicle or take your phone, they will often file a civil forfeiture to try to keep it, and basically say that it is the proceeds or is being used for illegal activity. That is something that is very difficult to combat. You need someone that’s very experienced, that knows what they’re doing, and time is a big factor in trying to get your stuff back once a civil forfeiture is filed.
