When the government seizes cash, vehicles, or other property, it often moves fast—and expects you to fall behind. Civil asset forfeiture cases are technical, deadline-driven, and high-stakes. I help clients fight to recover seized property and protect their rights from the start.

Seizures tied to traffic stops, searches, or arrests
Cash forfeiture, vehicle seizures, and property holds
Rapid-response strategy to meet strict deadlines
Challenges to probable cause, notice issues, and unlawful searches

Why Chauntelle White?
Former prosecutor with 40+ jury trials
I’ve tried more than forty jury trials and know how cases are built—and how to break them. That experience means I’m ready for whatever comes up.
I handle the talking. You get progress.
I speak directly with prosecutors to push for dismissals, reduced charges, or fair plea deals—steady, professional, and focused on results.
Stop trouble before it becomes charges
If agents or police are asking questions, I step in early to protect your rights, deal with law enforcement or the FBI, and work to prevent a case from ever being filed.
Quiet, private representation
Your situation stays confidential. I keep the circle small, filings tight, and deadlines under control to avoid unnecessary attention.
Clear, plain-English updates
No legal jargon. You’ll know what’s happening, what your options are, and what comes next so you can make informed decisions.
Built for court from day one
Trial experience matters. I prepare like we’re going to trial—digging into the evidence, filing strong motions, and building mitigation—so your case holds up and you have leverage.
