I’m grateful that I found Attorney Dan Smith. He helped me recover my vehicle and got my fee waived. I co-signed a car for my brother but unfortunately, he was transporting illegal aliens in San Diego. My brother was arrested, and the truck was seized by border patrol. Dan Smith and his team did a great job recovering my vehicle. I highly recommend them!

David here, just wanted to say Big thanks to attorney Dan Smith for getting my vehicle back! My expensive truck was seized on Halloween 2023 by US Border Patrol, If anybody is stressing over how to get your vehicle back after being seized! Contact San Diego defenders! and they’ll do everything for you!!, they’re prices are affordable and they also offer payment plans to work with you which is awesome! got my truck back in about 60 days, Long story short I got involved with the wrong people and got talked into transporting illegals, We all make Mistakes. Live and learn. Also big thanks to Itzel at the desk for helping me as well, super Nice lady. I’ll definitely recommend to anybody who is going thru the same! Thank you guys for Everything!🙏🏼

I hired Attorney Smith for my seized vehicle that Border Patrol had taken back in Oct 3rd. Everything with border patrol is completely new to me.They got a claim in a timely matter. Border patrol got back to Attorney Daniel Smith within 3 weeks of receiving the claim. It took around 3-4 weeks for Border Patrol to provide the paperwork (disposition order) during the Christmas/New Year Holiday. I GOT MY CAR BACK BY JAN 10th!! Any questions that me, my grandma or mother had , Itzel was so sweet and always answered with a detailed response. Itzel even helped provide a note of authorization so i was able to pick up the vehicle on my grandmothers behalf, I definitely will recommend them to ANYONE, thank you Attorney Smith, Layla and Itzel!<3

I’ve gotten caught twice, first time at the border with people in my vehicle, I was the passenger & I got a slap on the wrist. This second time I was caught again in San Diego with people & was the driver, my car was seized & impounded. I did my research & they proved to be the people to help me out with my issue. Attorney Daniel Smith was able to help me with my paperwork on my seized vehicle & get me answers on my vehicle in the time frame of 2 months or so & I was able to get out of it with no fines. Everyone who I spoke with in the office was knowledgeable as well & answered all my questions, also the for the price, I highly recommend them!

I don't know how to thank this great team without them I wouldn't have my car back I had already given up, I didn't even know where to start and I was looking for lawyers on Google and by chance a video appeared where the lawyer explained everything very clearly and do not hesitate to mark them. It was the best thing I could do and today, August 28, 2023, I got my car back. Thank you very much for everything they are 100% recommended
