Federal Investigative Agency Review of Adoption Requests

PRACTICE TIP: Federal investigative agencies will normally secure attorney review through their own Offices of Chief Counsel or other legal unit but may, in their discretion, request an Assistant United States Attorney to conduct this review. Any further review processes established in the future for federal seizures will also apply to adoptive seizures. Pre-seizure planning is an essential part of the review process.
