Money, contraband, vessels, motor vehicle, aircraft, other personal or real property can be seized by an arresting agency and forfeited if they deem there is a connection with a criminal violation, and  the owner knew or should have known that the property was being employed or was likely to be employed in criminal activity.

In South Florida, law enforcement agencies, motivated by a desire to deter crime and obtain revenue, aggressively pursue the forfeiture of property, including property taken in connection with lesser felony offenses or from innocent owners.

For more than 30 years, Bradley M. Collins, P.A. has aggressively defended forfeiture cases, and successfully recovered seized property thought to be lost to the government.
