In the last several years, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has been notably assertive in enforcing regulations pertaining to vehicle seizures. The experience of having your vehicle seized by CBP can be a stressful one, prompting concerns about potential charges and the urgency to retrieve your property. If you’re facing the dilemma of a seized vehicle, especially if there’s an outstanding loan on the vehicle, the complexity of the legal process may lead to procrastination and delays. Seeking the assistance of an experienced asset seizure lawyer becomes crucial in navigating the intricate procedures outlined in the “Notice of Seizure and Information to Claimants” letter, whether it involves reclaiming seized cash or a vehicle.
Understanding the process behind CBP or Customs seizures of vehicles and/or cash is critical. Typically, these seizures occur when there are suspicions of non-compliance with laws such as alien smuggling or failure to declare cash. At San Diego Defenders, our attorneys can meticulously analyze the specific circumstances surrounding the seizure of your property, offering tailored legal representation to expedite the recovery process.
Our asset seizure attorneys go beyond mere representation; they thoroughly review the documentation related to the seized property, identifying any discrepancies or errors. This attention to detail is crucial for building a robust case and avoiding denial. Acting as intermediaries between you and CBP, our attorneys engage in effective communication with officials, addressing concerns and providing necessary documentation to prevent forfeiture. This professional representation can make the difference between a denial and successfully reclaiming your property or vehicle.
The lawyers at San Diego Defenders play a key role in devising effective legal strategies, understanding decision-makers in your case, and protecting your interests. Clients often make the mistake of seeking advice from CBP or Customs directly, but our attorneys know that relying on them for legal guidance is not advisable. We can develop the right course of action, challenging the basis of the seizure or negotiating with CBP for the release of the vehicle using the correct procedures.
