I cannot thank San Diego Defenders enough. I had a seizure issue in Vermont but Mr.Smith, Ms. Martinez and the rest of the team were able to have my items released to me, which has solved a major issue in my life. Even if you are outside of California, I would still really recommend reaching out to them for help

The best California law firm on forfeiture cases! I had the honor to work with Mr. Daniel Smith on two seized cash cases. Both cases had some unusual hurdles, but Mr. Smith worked so hard and brilliantly, and got 100% back for both cases. I would recommend Mr. Daniel Smith to anybody who needs service.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Attorney Sandra Lopez from Federal Defenders of San Diego. She showed incredible compassion and professionalism when she visited my husband at the Otay Mesa Detention Center to understand his situation and offer legal guidance. She even took the time on a Saturday to meet with several detainees who needed help. In a very difficult moment for our family, her kindness, dedication, and willingness to listen meant more than words can describe. It is rare to find someone who combines strong legal knowledge with such genuine humanity. I am truly grateful for her support and for the work she does helping people who need it most. Thank you so much for everything you do for the community. 🙏

This law office is one of the best law office, they are fast in response and definitely NOT a scammer. They are honest and nice. My BF's car which was under my name got taken into CBP and was almost nearly unretrievable, but San Diego Difenders patiently helped me in long term and at the end I could get my car back from CBP. They were really considerate toward my problem and really respectful. They do answer your calls and answer your questions. I really appreciate their kindness and patience. They are one of the very rare real hearted lawyer! If you are looking for a lawyer for CBP issues, trust me and go to them.

If you have any questions, please contact our San Diego Criminal Lawyers team at (619) 258-8888

Canadian client

I am a Canadian client who needed help with a seized car at the border. I cannot say enough about this law firm. They were efficient, knowledgeable, approachable and very competent. Mr. Dan Smith is a top notch attorney. The entire legal team was so helpful and quick to respond to my concerns. The one time set fee eased my financial concerns. Overall, very professional and competent. I highly recommend this law firm.

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for trusting us with your case and taking the time to leave a review! It's important for people in similar situations to know that we help people get their seized cars back from Border Patrol along the Canadian AND Mexican Borders. Although our firm is located in San Diego, we truly can help anyone in any of the 50 states.

Regards,
Dan, Itzel, and Layla at SDD - Forfeiture Law Firm

Thankful for Mr. Smith and Layla

I needed some advice regarding a package that was sent to me. I had been contacted by a detective and didn’t know how to respond. Mr. Smith took time out of his busy day to counsel me and calm my nerves. I offered to pay him for his time, but he didn’t accept it. I truly appreciate him and his team for going out of their way to speak to me.

email scam

So glad I contacted Attorney Dan Smith for help!
He helped me verify an email scam for thousands if dollars. Kept me from sending unnecessary funds to a fraudulent site.

 by Amber Jacobo

My husband & I had our vehicle seized so we did an asset forfeiture search and found attorney Dan Smith. I can honestly tell you that since day one they have been there for us. Attorney Dan Smith answered all of our questions and his team gave us daily up to date information on our matter. They made us feel at ease every step of the way. We were going have to pay lots of money to get our property back, but thanks to Dan Smith we paid almost nothing. I HIGHLY recommend San Diego Defenders to get the job done and in a timely manner. They are there to represent you every step of the way.

Very Informative Consultation

Received a notice of seizure letter for replica designer jewelry with a hefty appraised value. I left the consultation feeling much better than how I was feeling before reaching out to them.
