Civil Litigation

Areas of Practice

Civil Litigation
Our law firm has a very strong background in general civil litigation. We have been involved in various aspects of civil litigation, including real estate matters, contractual matters, etc.

Asset Forfeiture
Forfeiture cases are civil lawsuits brought by the government, state or federal, (although usually federal), to obtain property, possessions or monies which are alleged to have been acquired by criminal activity, or alleged to have been used to commit a crime. Moreover, asset forfeiture usually occurs in connection with a criminal prosecution or investigation, requiring coordination and special strategy in defense of both the civil lawsuit and criminal case or investigation. As such, the defense of such cases requires an attorney experienced in several different areas of law including criminal law, civil litigation, federal law and procedure, and forfeiture rules and procedure. John Robertson is the attorney experienced and knowledgeable in all these areas of law and procedure, and can successfully handle such matters to prevent the government from seizing your property, possessions and money.
