A: If you plead guilty and the court ordered the forfeiture of your property, you may not be able to receive your possession back. In general, when property is forfeited, it becomes the property of the government, and the owner loses all rights to it. However, in some cases, a court may allow the owner to petition for the return of their property if they can show that the forfeiture was improper or that they had a legitimate ownership interest in the property. It is best to consult with an attorney familiar with forfeiture law to determine your options.
