You need an attorney quickly to notify the sheriff you intend to make a claim on the car. You do have some rights, but you do need to talk with a local attorney. I am trying to figure out how they just seized the car.

You need to contest the forfeiture action. And you have limited time so I would hire an attorney quickly.
