Your Car. Your House. Your Cash. It's All At Stake.

If you look at the current state of search and seizure in the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota, law enforcement officers have incentives to make DWI and drug arrests. After all, these arrests can lead to the seizure of private property that can be sold to benefit the department by providing equipment and other perks.

Does it seem like a conflict of interest that police departments can take your property after an arrest for their own benefit?

I sure think so. And a strong argument can be made that the framers of our Constitution thought so, too. That is why there are such strong prohibitions against illegal searches and seizures.

What can you do to protect your property?

If you are facing criminal charges such as driving while impaired (DWI) or drug-related charges, you need a strong defense to protect against the seizure of your property.

My Minneapolis firm brings nearly 40 years of criminal law experience and is thoroughly familiar with this evolving area of the law. Seizure of property, particularly civil asset forfeiture, is becoming a hot button issue, and there are actions a lawyer can take to protect your rights, your money and your assets.

You Have The Right To Remain Silent. Use It.

Anything you say can and will be used against you. The best strategy for resolving the underlying criminal charges and protecting your assets is speaking to your attorney and then keeping your mouth shut.
