Criminal lawyer seizing property
Have the police seized money or property from you? If so, you may need a lawyer with specific knowledge about seizing property. Confiscation can involve movable or immovable property: from vehicles and utensils to records, phones or computers. It may involve property belonging to the defendant, but sometimes seizures are made from someone who has nothing to do with the case.
At Van Meekren, we help you understand your rights and represent your interests when your property has been seized.
Why were my things confiscated?
The police may seize your property for several reasons, including:
remove goods from sale, for example, in the case of weapons or items that violate the law;
truth-telling in a criminal investigation;
for forfeiture;
demonstrating proceeds of crime; and/or
securing redress for a fine, deprivation or compensation measure (so-called "prejudgment attachment").
Whatever the reason for seizure, it is important to know that it does not automatically mean you are guilty of a criminal offense. Indeed, in some cases, the seized person may not even be a suspect, such as a car that has been temporarily used by someone else.
What can Van Meekren Advocatuur do for you?
In many cases, there is legal room to object or request restitution of your property. Van Meekren Advocatuur has extensive experience with seizure in criminal cases. Among other things, we can do the following for you:
Advise on your rights and obligations surrounding seizure;
request the file from the Justice Department to understand the proven facts and the claims of seizure;
file a complaint to seek restitution of your property or funds;
Assist you in any hearing or legal proceedings, such as in court, to get your property back as soon as possible.
Should your property be seized, it is important that you seek legal assistance at an early stage. The earlier we are involved, the more we can do for you.
