Yes, it happens all of the time. If you have a good attorney, he or she can get the car back for you.

Re: car forfeiture laws

The only way they can take your car, regardless of the amount, is if the bank has a court order. Were you arrested after drugs were found? They can seize your vehicle if it was used in a commission of a crime. However, we do succeed to get vehicles released. Call us for free consultation.
