Minneapolis Criminal Forfeiture Lawyers
State, local, and federal laws allow the state to acquire the assets of a criminal defendant if they believe that those assets were used in or acquired by the criminal act or prior acts. Criminal forfeiture laws allow the state to acquire these assets through civil proceedings.
Civil proceedings and forfeiture actions by the government are separate proceedings from a criminal charge. Even when a person is found “not guilty” in a court of law, the state may still acquire your property and assets in forfeiture proceedings.
If you’re faced with the loss of your car, home, or financial assets through a criminal forfeiture proceeding, contact our criminal defense lawyers at Brandt Criminal Defense.

Criminal Forfeiture Representation
A criminal forfeiture lawyer can make it easier for you to pay for legal representation in your criminal case. Prosecutors will often freeze the personal assets of a person in a forfeiture case. Our lawyers take action to block the seizure of property and financial assets. We can reveal questionable interrogation tactics used by the state, misuse of evidence, and violations of operating procedures. By freezing a suspect’s assets, the government makes it difficult for an individual to get proper legal representation. The lawyers of Brandt Criminal Defense work to prevent the state from using its aggressive and abusive power.
The experienced Minnesota drug charge attorneys of Brandt Criminal Defense will use our extensive knowledge of the legal system to create a defense for your situation. With our skill and experience we may be able to have your charges dropped or reduced.
