Since 2014, we’ve seen a huge rise in criminal defence cases linked to confiscation and the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA).
This means, that particularly in big drug or financial fraud cases, it’s now quite usual for a restraint order to be handed out at the start of a case. With confiscation proceedings following after a conviction – and the penalties are often even more severe than the criminal sentence.
If you find yourself in this situation, expert legal advice is more important than ever – because it takes a lot of skill and experience to navigate the POCA proceedings and secure the best outcome. And when your future is on the line, you need a calm, knowledgeable team by your side.
At Sansbury Douglas, our experienced POCA lawyers are here to help you fight back. If your assets have been frozen or confiscation proceedings have started, we’ll help you protect your rights. We can also help to amend or enforce Confiscation Orders, giving you more time to pay – or if your assets have been undervalued, reduce the amount you owe.
When you want the best outcome, we’re the people to talk to. And that’s recognised by other solicitors who often pass on POCA cases to us, even when they’ve managed the original criminal case.
Speak to our experienced team now – we’ll give you clear advice, strong defence, and unwavering support at every stage.
