California Asset Forfeiture Law & Procedure

This legal treatise on state asset forfeiture law and procedure in California is designed for judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and pro se forfeiture claimants. In determining the scope of subjects to include, care was taken to include the information needed by forfeiture victims who are forced to represent themselves because they cannot afford a lawyer, and criminal defense lawyers who are not familiar with state civil procedure. It also contains practical information on filing fees and free online resources including websites that offer free legal research and practice guides.

This book is current, including the changes made by SB 443, effective January 1, 2018.
