AFMLS also provides oversight, management, and policy development for the DOJ Assets Forfeiture Fund, including returning money to victims and funding to federal, state, and local law enforcement.

The unit is responsible for providing advice and support on the use of criminal forfeiture and for initiating civil in rem actions, rather than criminal prosecutions, to seek the forfeiture of assets.

• Supervises and manages the work of the Unit's attorneys on cases involving civil and criminal forfeiture actions, and ancillary proceedings;
• Advises line attorneys on strategic approaches to their forfeiture actions;
• Ensures that unit attorneys are properly prepared and trained to litigate complex matters, trains line attorneys on discovery obligations and ethical considerations, and oversees the negotiation of settlement agreements and other resolutions, properly balancing a variety of relevant factors;
• Reviews seizures warrants, lis pendens, restraining orders, complaints, criminal forfeiture allegations, dispositive pretrial motions, and other pleadings;
• Provides litigation advice to other Criminal Division litigating components, U.S. Attorneys' Offices, federal investigative agencies, and state and local prosecutors and agencies on asset forfeiture issues;
• Develops and maintains working relationships with partners at the U.S. Attorneys' Office, other litigating components and offices, and federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies;
• Represents AFMLS in inter-departmental and inter-agency meetings and communicates on matters concerning asset forfeiture issues.
