What a Frozen Account Really Means
A frozen account does not mean you have been convicted of a crime. It means the government believes it has enough information to temporarily restrict access to your funds while it investigates further.
In Westchester County and throughout the Southern District of New York, these actions are often taken early in a case and can affect both individuals and businesses without prior warning. While the situation is serious, it is also something that can be challenged with the right legal response.
The key issue is not just what was seized, but whether the government had a valid basis to do so, and whether your rights were properly respected in the process.
How We Respond to a Money Laundering Investigation
When accounts are frozen or assets are seized, timing matters. Our attorneys immediately review what led to the action, examine the supporting evidence, and assess whether the government’s allegations can be challenged.
From there, we move quickly to protect your position. This work includes challenging improper seizures where appropriate and working to restore access to legitimate funds when possible.
We also help you understand your financial options during this period. In many cases, it may still be possible to use assets that are not part of the government’s action to retain counsel and maintain stability while the case is pending.
At Portale Randazzo LLP, our criminal defense lawyers bring more than 150 years of combined trial experience, including the perspective of a former prosecutor who understands how money laundering cases are built and where they can be challenged. We stay focused on practical solutions, clear communication, and steady guidance during a highly disruptive time.
Located in the heart of the White Plains business district, right off the I-287 corridor, our office offers convenient proximity to the Westchester County Court complex and the federal courthouse. We answer our phone 24/7, and virtual consultations are available.
