No, you should not wait to get a free consultation from an attorney to put your mind at ease about whether it is possible to get your vehicle back, how much it might cost, and how long it takes.
When you Google seizure and CBP to get info, AI, or artificial intelligence, is on it. AI will remind you that you will get a notice of seizure letter, which is true but could take up to 30 days. AI will also tell you to consult a lawyer, and why not if it is free? It will also tell you that filing a petition may be the wrong thing to do because there is no time limit on getting an answer, and you wonder what the heck a petition is. Probably the most important information AI tells you is NOT to call CBP for advice. This lawyer could not agree more with AI. The CBP officers, no matter if the person is nice, have no reason to give you good advice even if they know how federal forfeiture under CAFRA works (most do not).
So, call a lawyer who knows forfeiture procedure and law and read their Google reviews. These should be specific about getting your car out of forfeiture seizure. If the law firm is doing a good job for a fair fee, then you should be able to tell from past client reviews. Then you won’t be anxious about waiting until the last minute and all the stress. Who needs that?
