Here are some examples of rejected/denied Petitions 5 to 9 months after our clients ignored our advice to NOT file a petition if they wanted to save money and get their vehicle back ASAP after the CBP impounded their car. It is too common for young adults to get their car taken after responding to an Instagram ad, and their parents think that they will have a mark on their record if they try to get it back. That is NOT the case, and it does not matter what their immigration status is because the U.S. Customs FP&F Office does not deal with that aspect, and we know how to handle that issue. Many potential clients do not listen to us the first time around and file a Petition and wonder why CBP has not responded, and it has been 7 months, 9 months. They call us when they have not heard a word from Border Patrol. There is a real problem filing a petition because there is NO time limit on how long CBP and U.S Customs can take! We are not telling you that you must hire us, but it is the smart thing to do. When San Diego Defenders Forfeiture Law Firm files a claim, it is a lawyer-to-lawyer matter, and there is a 90-day limit for the United States Attorney to negotiate with the Lawyer on file. That is us. We will discuss the process with you when you call us. We know that getting your vehicle back is what makes you happy. Call us at (619) 258-8888, and we would be happy to help you after you file a petition that gets rejected or, better yet, call us first and save time and money.
