Drug Crimes and Property Forfeiture Defense —
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware
There are a number of federal statutes which authorize seizure of assets and property in connection with criminal charges. That said — the ones most commonly used against individuals charged with drug crimes are the federal money laundering statutes outlined in Title 18 of the United States Code, Sections 1956 and 1957.
Essentially, these statutes allow federal prosecutors and agencies to freeze your personal assets or to seize money, cars, homes and other valuables that may only have tenuous connections, at best, to your alleged "drug activities." To make matters worse, asset seizures can deprive you of the funds you need to adequately defend yourself.
By contacting our attorney, Mark S. Greenberg, as soon after a drug arrest as possible — you will be putting nearly 30 years of federal criminal defense experience and a lawyer who has proven his ability to successfully handle these cases on your side.

How Strong Is the Government's Case?
Because a money laundering conviction can lead to fines of up to $500,000 dollars and a sentence of up to 20 years in prison — it is important to do a thorough analysis of the government's case before deciding whether to fight the charges and challenge asset seizures or, to work towards mitigating the damage by entering into plea negotiations.
Attorney Greenberg will carefully review the government's claims in connecting seized assets to the proceeds of criminal activity and vigorously challenge any asset seizures that have already taken place. If asset seizure proceedings have not yet been initiated, we can plan your defense accordingly with that contingency in mind. If you decide that a plea negotiation is not an option, Attorney Greenberg will negotiate for the partial return of your property.
