The Houston Authority On Federal Civil Forfeitures
Federal civil forfeitures are a complex area of the law that involves civil procedure, criminal law and archaic maritime admiralty rules. In a federal civil forfeiture case, law enforcement will take a person’s assets without due cause. Law enforcement will then refuse to return the property because a person did not meet the deadline for filing the correct paperwork.
Greg Gladden Attorney At Law saw the resurgence of federal civil forfeitures as a young lawyer during the War on Drugs in the 1980s. Mr. Gladden has only seen these abuses of power rise over his nearly 40-year criminal defense legal career. He protects his clients’ rights in these complex cases and fights to recover their assets. Mr. Gladden’s Houston law firm represents Federal Civil Forfeiture clients across Texas.
