Confiscación de Bienes
¿Alguna vez ha escuchado el término “confiscación de bienes”? Confiscación de bienes es el decomiso de algo que es propiedad de una persona o una empresa, confiscado por el gobierno, debido a la acusación de haber hecho algo malo o ilegal.
Algunas de las cosas que están involucrados en la confiscación de bienes son depósitos bancarios, automóviles, bienes raíces, embarcaciones y aviones, computadoras, servidores, software, joyas y dinero en efectivo encontrados a la persona o en el vehículo de ésta. Estas son solo algunas de las cosas que se pueden incautar cuando se presume el hecho de delito.
En las oficinas del abogado Richard R. Alamia, hemos tenido y contamos actualmente con representación a personas a las que algunos de sus bienes les han sido incautados en virtud de la violación de alguna ley.
Decomiso Federal y Estatal
En las oficinas del abogado Richard R. Alamia representamos a las personas cuyos bienes hayan sido incautados en virtud de las leyes estatales o federales de confiscación. Texas y el sistema federal tienen leyes que establecen el decomiso y aseguramiento de los bienes, una vez demostrado que se han utilizado en la comisión de un delito o que representan posibles ingresos monetarios procedentes de actividades delictivas.
Entre los tipos de propiedad más a menudo involucrados en un caso de confiscación de activos son los siguientes:
- Efectivo que lleve la persona, en el vehículo o en la casa del acusado, en el momento del arresto o la ejecución de una orden de registro
- Depósitos bancarios
- Vehículos de motor de todo tipo
- Bienes Inmuebles
- Bienes semovientes
- Barcos y aviones
- Computadoras, servidores y software
- Equipos de jardinería
Si bien la absolución o sobreseimiento de los cargos penales contra los que la gente suele dar lugar a la devolución de la propiedad, también es posible en algunos casos para recuperar los bienes confiscados, incluso en una declaración de culpabilidad o la condena en el juicio de los cargos de apoyo a la caducidad. Las formas más eficaces para evitar la pérdida son demostrar que los bienes incautados se obtuvieron de fuentes legítimas o que otra persona es el propietario real. Incluso en los casos en que la ley apoya técnicamente la caducidad, un abogado que es un negociador muy a menudo puede lograr un retorno de la propiedad, a veces en relación con la negociación de la resolución de los cargos criminales relacionados.

Now, and aggravated felony is violence, theft, illegal trafficking, fraud, smuggling, murder or rape either to a minor or an adult, and an attempt or conspiracy to commit an aggravated felony.

Notaries can not speak on immigration issues
The need for low-cost legal assistance
The need for low-cost legal assistance has made use of consultants flourish without much knowledge of immigration laws, which often do nothing but pave the way for the deportation of their clients, according to authorities.
Therefore proliferate in the United States laws that seek to prevent unqualified persons providing legal advice to immigrants.
Fifteen states have laws prohibiting the operation of "on immigration consultants" and notaries – as defined in Spanish of the term – non-lawyers and six others, including Washington, are working on similar legislation, according to the Conference National State Legislatures.

Law of Defamation in Modern Practice
Defamation law in modern practice
The law of defamation in the United States is much less plaintiff-friendly than their counterparts in European and Commonwealth countries, due to the implementation of the first amendment. A very important distinction today is that European jurisdictions and the Commonwealth subscribe to a theory that every publication of a libel gives rise to a separate action, so that an Internet defamation could sue on in any country in which was read, while American law only allows a claim for primary publication.
In the United States, a comprehensive discussion of what is and is not libel or slander is difficult, because the definition difference between different states. Some states codify what constitutes slander and defamation together on the same system of laws. Some states have criminal defamation laws on the books, though these are old laws that are processed very infrequently. The state of Washington has held its criminal defamation statute unconstitutional to apply the state and federal constitutions to question.
