In U.S. v. Monsanto, and Caplin and Drysdale v. U.S., the U.S. Supreme Court held that the government can seize and freeze a defendant's assets in a drug or racketeering case, even if those funds were to be used for retaining legal counsel. This has led in many cases to the subpoenaing of attorneys' records in an effort to determine the fact and the source of any legal fees paid by the defendant. Defense attorneys claim this violates the attorney-client privilege and puts drug defendants at a disadvantage in securing counsel. As a result of the court rulings and prosecutorial actions, many criminal defense attorneys refuse to take drug cases. The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers is calling for the appointment of a National Task Force on the Preservation of the Adversary System to lessen the impact of attorney-fee decisions. Another task force would lobby Congress and State legislatures to amend forfeiture laws so they are consistent with sixth amendment rights. The association has also requested meetings with the Justice Department to develop clearer forfeiture guidelines.
