You can use custom validation:

    [CustomValidation(typeof(ValidationMethods), "ValidateGreaterOrEqualToZero")]

    [CustomValidation(typeof(ValidationMethods), "ValidateGreaterOrEqualToZero")]
    public decimal DecValue { get; set; }

Validation methods type:

public class ValidationMethods
{
    public static ValidationResult ValidateGreaterOrEqualToZero(decimal value, ValidationContext context)
    {
        bool isValid = true;

        if (value < decimal.Zero)
        {
            isValid = false;
        }

        if (isValid)
        {
            return ValidationResult.Success;
        }
        else
        {
            return new ValidationResult(
                string.Format("The field {0} must be greater than or equal to 0.", context.MemberName),
                new List() { context.MemberName });
        }
    }
}
