When your car is seized and impounded by U.S. Customs & Border Protection because they detained you or your family for suspicion of alien smuggling, you will receive a Notice of Seizure letter in the mail. The letter will include an Election of Proceedings. Basically, how do you want to try getting your vehicle back? If you file a Petition in mitigation or an Offer in Compromise, you will be giving up a large part of your due process afforded by law. There seems to be no time limit! There seems to be no clear process for how Border Patrol decides if they will give your car back! In the examples in the video, our clients spent anywhere from 3 1/2 months to 10 months more time without their car. They come to us, and we have to withdraw their petition and start from scratch. How long can you go without your car, especially if you’re still making payments? Call us at San Diego Defenders Forfeiture Law Firm at (619) 258-8888, and we’ll explain that this video is not legal advice. However, we have a very, very good track record of getting all the vehicles returned if we accept your case. We do all the work for you, so you don’t step on your own foot! Call us today at (619) 258-8888.
