At Lartey & Co our expert cash seizure solicitors represent clients facing cash seizure and forfeiture proceedingsunder the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA). These proceedings often arise when authorities suspect that cash has been obtained through unlawful activity — even when there is a perfectly legitimate explanation for its possession.

​

We understand how distressing it can be to have your money seized, especially when you can clearly demonstrate that the funds were lawfully obtained. Unfortunately, authorities frequently assume that anyone found with a large sum of cash is a drug dealer, money launderer, or tax evader — assumptions we are well-equipped to challenge.

​

If your cash has been seized by the police, HMRC, Border Force, or the NCA, our team can act swiftly to:

​

• Challenge the initial seizure and application for detention of cash

• Prepare evidence proving the legitimate source of funds

• Represent you in Magistrates’ Court forfeiture hearings

• Apply for the return of seized cash where appropriate

​

We handle cases involving amounts ranging from small business takings to high-value transactions, always with discretion and determination.

Whatever stage your case is at from the moment your cash is seized to ongoing forfeiture proceedings it is never too late to seek legal advice. Our Proceeds of Crime Act lawyers in London leave no stone unturned in ensuring that legitimate money is restored to its rightful owner.

If your funds have been seized or detained, contact our cash forfeiture solicitors immediately for specialist advice.
