Counsel's advice to Jones, which ensured Jones would become an inculpatory witness against Peters, was directly adverse to Peters' interests and constituted ineffective assistance of counsel.

Austin v. United States green

2025Jones' claim that the forfeited vehicle is worth $40,000 demonstrates that the statute at issue here provides for forfeiture of property that may have "dramatic variations in the value," calling into question whether its forfeiture serves a purely remedial purpose or is at least partly punitive ( id. at 621 ).

2025Moreover, since the statute already provides that the City may charge the unlicensed food vendor whose property has been seized "reasonable costs for removal and storage payable prior to the release of such food, vehicle or pushcart" (Administrative Code § 17-321[c][iii]), forfeiture of the vehicle appears to have little, if any, correlation to the cost of enforcement ( see Austin , 509 US at 621 ; Canavan , 108 AD3d at 120 ).
