Fraud, Theft & White Collar Crimes:

Crimes Against Property:

Forfeiture Cases:
"Forfeiture" involves a seizure of property by a peace officer coupled with an assertion by the seizing agency, or by an attorney for the State, that the property is subject to forfeiture. In general, the Court can attempt to seize any property which is the instrumentality of a crime, or related to the instrumentality of crimes. In addition, they can seize assets which were purchased with proceeds from an instrumentality of a crime (i.e., houses, cars, watches, etc.). They do this in an attempt to "recapture" the assets.

Other Offenses:

Pre-File Defense:
If you have not yet been charged with a crime but suspect that you are under investigation or might be charged, it is critical that you do everything possible to prevent charges from being filed. If charges are filed, then it is extremely helpful to have a well prepared case immediately ready for your defense. Our Pre-File Service helps you to protect your rights and prepare a defense while you are still free and before charges are filed for a substantially lower cost than a complete trial defense.

Post Conviction Relief:
If you have already been convicted of a crime, it is imperative that you check out every possible option to appeal or reduce your conviction or sentence. Post conviction relief is a specialty of United Defense Group.

Our Appeal Evaluation Service brings together our top appellate attorneys and investigators to conduct an in-depth evaluation of your case at much less cost and time than a full appeal. We will present you with all of your legal options and make a recommendation about the best way to move forward.

Whether you need assistance with the pre-charge “Investigation Stages,” Release Hearings, an Extradition Case, post conviction issues & appeals, or are experiencing issues with probation & sentencing modifications, our firm can help.
