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

San Diego Defenders got my truck out of towing after I got arrested and towed after gambling at a casino in El Centro area. They were able to get it so I could pick up my truck in Chula Vista no questions asked my case was also dismissed due to lack of evidence. Thanks so much San Diego Defenders! -Zach

Thank you Mr. Daniel Smith and your excellent team! I truly appreciate all the effort put into getting my car back after it was seized by boarder patrol. I honestly thought my situation was hopeless once I received no answer for CBP. Until I called you, I explained the situation and all you did was reassure me everything was going to be okay you were going to do your best in getting my car back to me within 90 days & you got it back within 40 days!! I was so so happy when I received the call. Thank you again

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.

I highly recommend San Diego Defenders!

I'm having an issue with a Border Patrol agency so I googled Asset and Forefiture Lawyers and San Diego Defenders Law Firm popped up. I didn't believe anyone would respond right away but I sent a message anyways inquiring about my next step. It took little to no time for me to receive an email response from Daniel Smith regarding my inquiry with the confirmation that I needed. I mattered to Daniel Smith no matter how small Border Patrol made me feel and I'll never forget that! I'd recommend them to anyone in need of legal services because you matter and that's how they treat you! Thank you again Daniel Smith!

Positive Experience Under Terrible Circumstances

My husband and I hired Daniel Smith to help us retrieve our son's car after it was seized. His understanding in the area of car seized by border patrol is incredible. He walked us through the process and made us feel at ease and confident during a very challenging time. We were able to retrieve our car in the time frame he stated. His fees are reasonable and he seems to genuinely want to help his clients.

Just wanted to thank Dan and is team of defenders, as I was about to cross in to Mexico I was stoped and questioned by customs officials I was asked questions about why I was carrying large amount of money under 10,000 U.S. dollars I explained I was remodeling my home for my mother and I ,and I was also carrying Mexican pesos as well.they did not want to here why. my money was seized ,I talked to dan and he listened to my story ,asked me questiones. I was told by several customs agents that I could fight it but it would take about a year .well Dan jumped right on it, and made them listen.within a months time Dan called me and said that my money was going to be returned . I could not believe it. again I just want to THANK Dan and his team , Great job!!

The right person to defend you

In such adverse circumstances,when they arrive and hurt your family, is when you need the right person to defend you.
When that moment came to our family God guided me with Dan and his defenders, to defend our son, giving us a family and professional treatment according to ours needs and possibilities.
We highly recommend the attorney Daniel Smith and his team for their excellent and professional work.
We are grateful. Thank you!

My son's case was not as involved as most Attorney Dan Smith represents. My son's two pieces of luggage were seized at the border near San Diego by CBP. He was sent over 2,000 miles to his home area but his luggage was left behind with CBP saying they will be destroyed in 30 days. After a couple of weeks of failed attempts on my part to have the luggage returned, Mr. Dan Smith was able to get favorable results in less than 24 hours and send the two pieces of luggage to my son at his home address over 2,000 miles. Although most of Mr. Smith's cases are much more involved, with serious life changing consequences than this one, he knew how important it was to my son and me for the clothing, etc. be returned. He is caring, competent, and professional. I wish he was located in my area. San Diego is very fortunate to have Dan Smith, attorney, in their area. I will always be grateful for his services. For me, Mr. Smith was a Godsend.

After having our vehicle seized , attorney Dan Smith worked diligently to get our vehicle back in timely manner. I highly recommend attorney Dan Smith !!
