When the unexpected happens, experienced legal counsel makes a difference.
We can make that difference, with a fee structure of your choosing.
A U.S. government report showed that of 168 seizures approximately 95% of seized funds were forfeited to the government, many times because those accused fail to assert their rights.
The United States requires reporting of all cash and cash equivalents transported into or out of the country when the value equals or exceeds $10,000. Those who violate currency regulations face Customs seizures and penalties. U.S. Customs has made thousands of money seizures from persons entering or departing the United States, but we have repeatedly helped seek the vast majority of these funds back for our clients.
Often, these violations are a result of a passenger’s failure to complete mandatory currency reporting forms or errors made when filling out such forms. An innocent mistake can lead to a seizure of funds. Furthermore, Customs officials sometimes misinterpret currency seizure regulations.
