At this firm, you can expect to interact with genuine individuals who are truly committed to assisting you. Initially, my expectations were minimal, as my prior experiences with legal consultations had often been dismissive, merely providing fee details without addressing my queries. However, my interaction with this firm was refreshingly different. Upon calling, I was courteously attended by a polite woman who attentively listened to my concerns and subsequently directed me to Attorney Dan Smith. Facing a challenging situation with my brother, I sought guidance on the best course of action. Dan candidly advised that hiring him might not be the most beneficial approach for my case, yet he generously continued the conversation, providing thorough answers to all my questions, accessing necessary records, and offering actionable advice on how to proceed to best assist my brother. His empathy was palpable, perhaps because he too values his relationship with his brother. Remarkably, Dan even detailed the exact route I should take, down to the number of escalators to ride to reach the necessary contacts. This review is lengthy, but I felt compelled to express my gratitude for encountering such integrity and dedication in a profession where one often feels most vulnerable. If you are considering legal representation, I highly encourage you to contact them; a brief conversation will likely assure you that you are in capable hands. My heartfelt thanks to Dan! Update: Everything with my brother worked out.

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!

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.

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.
