Re: Car Confiscated

You need to get a lawyer to fight the forfeiture. Your car was most likely forfeited by the County Prosecutor. What you need to do is file papers immediately before the accused person pleads guilty. You have a limited amount of time to act. Failure to act fast could mean you will lose your rights to fight this. email [email protected] or visit gomezlegal.com and schedule an appointment.

Not if you did not know the purposed for which the car was borrowed. Be careful that the police are not looking at you.
