Federal Forfeiture Practice Manual

The Federal Forfeiture Practice Manual begins with the historical antecedents to today's multi-billion dollar federal forfeiture cash-machine, and then takes counsel from the role as first-responder to a forfeiture seizure in process, through the post-seizure issues of preserving the value of the property, to protecting the client from self-incrimination, expediting settlement, the administrative remedies, removal to federal court, pre-trial discovery and practice through the trial and charge to the jury. Additionally, over 150 pages of forms used in Federal Forfeiture Practice are included. Simply stated, if it is not in this book, it is not in Federal Forfeiture practice. The author Montgomery Blair Sibley's practice has been largely limited the last twenty years to contraband forfeiture cases initiated by federal and state agencies.
