Asset Seizure and Forfeiture Defense

Not all cases involve a driver’s license. If law enforcement took your cash, vehicle, or other property during an arrest, the State may try to keep it through a civil forfeiture case.

Asset forfeiture cases:

Are separate from criminal charges
Have short and strict deadlines
Can result in permanent loss of property if ignored

Most forfeiture cases are tied to drug-related arrests, not DUI. We help people fight asset seizure and forfeiture and work to recover property before deadlines pass.

Don't Go To Court Unrepresented

Most people do not plan to call a lawyer.

An arrest or property seizure happens quickly.

Paperwork is handed over. Instructions are often unclear.

Many people leave thinking the court will handle everything.

In reality, some issues move before a first court date is ever set.

Understanding what applies to your situation is the first step.
👉 Don’t wait. Call (706) 778-5291 today to protect your future.

CDL Drivers:
Your Job Is at Risk

If you hold a commercial driver’s license, a DUI arrest carries higher consequences.
A conviction can suspend a CDL for one year or longer. Employers can act before a case is resolved.

Early clarity matters even more for professional drivers.

Deadlines and Timing Matter

Not every part of a case moves at the same speed. Some issues start immediately, before a first court date is ever set. Others move more slowly.

In DUI cases, driver’s license deadlines can begin right away. In forfeiture cases, short filing deadlines can determine whether property is kept or lost.

Waiting does not create more options. In some cases, it removes them.
