Las Vegas Property Forfeiture Attorney

Strong Defense if You Have Forfeited Cash in Nevada

In the course of a criminal investigation, police are allowed to seize anything that was used as a device in the furtherance of a crime or the property purchased with the proceeds of a crime. This is referred to in the legal system as forfeiture. Cash, cars, cell phones and other property can all be seized under forfeiture laws.

At the Las Vegas law firm of Wright & Weiner, Ltd., we represent clients throughout Nevada and northern Arizona in a variety of civil forfeiture matters. We have a solid track record of success recovering illegally seized property for our clients.

Fighting Aggressively to Protect Your Rights

Many of the cases we handle involve people who have cashed their paychecks and are caught with a small quantity of drugs. The police will frequently accuse you of drug sales and seize your cash. In cases like these, we will provide an aggressive defense to prove that you are not a drug dealer, work to minimize the impact of the possession offense and seek to recover your cash.

Our lawyers have handled a wide variety of civil forfeiture cases. Our experience in these matters allows us to be much more proactive and effective in our efforts to recover your property. We will take the time to explain the process to you and let you know what to expect as your case progresses.
