Re: seizure of truck

You must act quickly. There are deadlines for filing claims. Contact the sheriff's office about their procedure. However, they can sometimes just stall you until it is too late to sue them for your truck. Talk to a lawyer immediately about suing them for your truck so that you don't miss a deadline for filing. If you have more questions, contact me directly.
