MONEY SEIZURES

When the unexpected happens, experienced legal counsel makes a difference. We can be that difference, with a fee structure of your choosing. We accept cases on contingency: if we do not obtain a return of funds for you, there is NO fee.

    We are active in all States and ports of entry, including:

    Atlanta • Baltimore • Boston • Buffalo • Baltimore • Chicago • Charlotte • Cleveland • Dallas • Denver • Detroit • El Paso • Fort Lauderdale • Houston • Honolulu • Laredo • New York • JFK • Los Angeles • Long Beach • Miami • Memphis • Minneapolis • Nashville • Newark • New Orleans • Nogales • Norfolk • Orlando • Philadelphia • Port Canaveral • Port Everglades • Seattle • San Diego • San Francisco • San Juan • Seattle • Tampa • Wilmington

    A U.S. government report showed that of 168 seizures approximately 95% of seized funds were forfeited to the government, many times because those accused fail to assert their rights.

    The United States requires reporting of all cash and cash equivalents whose value equals or exceeds $10,000.  Those who violate currency regulations face Customs seizures and penalties.  U.S. Customs has made thousands of seizures, and we have caused the return of the vast majority of seized funds back to our clients.  Neil B. Mooney, Esq. has 48 years experience as a Customs Broker and Customs Attorney pertaining to the entry or removal of currency by travelers, couriers and wire transfer services.  U.S. seizures are almost always a surprise occurrence and may happen even when clients attempt to adhere to applicable laws and regulations.  Liang + Mooney, PLLC (formerly The Mooney Law Firm) knows how to effectively seek return of your seized money; contact us.   Again, we take cases on contingency: if we do not obtain a return of funds for you, there is no fee.
