At The Skiendziul Law Firm, we specialize in providing exceptional legal representation in the area of Criminal and Civil Forfeiture. Our experienced team of attorneys is dedicated to helping clients navigate the complexities of forfeiture cases in New York City.

Understanding Criminal and Civil Forfeiture

Criminal and Civil Forfeiture refers to the legal process by which the government seizes property that is believed to be associated with illegal activities. In New York City, both state and federal laws allow authorities to pursue forfeiture actions against assets connected to criminal conduct.

In criminal forfeiture cases, assets are typically seized and forfeited as a result of a criminal conviction. On the other hand, civil forfeiture allows the government to seize assets and initiate legal proceedings even if there is no criminal conviction. This is because civil forfeiture is aimed at the assets themselves, rather than the individuals involved.
