Peter S. Herrick, P.A is a Federal Administrative Litigation and Maritime law firm with offices in Miami, Florida and Long Beach, California.Since the passage of the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000 (CAFRA 2000), U.S. Customs officials have made thousands of seizures of money and currency from persons entering and departing the United States without completing the currency reporting forms. We are aware of $1,806,275.01 seized by U.S. Customs. But we are also aware that $1,607,233.67 of this amount was refunded as of June 6, 2010. A U.S. Department of Justice report dated December 10, 2004, found that approximately 95 percent of the 168 currency seizures of funds were forfeited to the government because the persons had no legal counsel.
We want to be your legal counsel to get your money back for you.
Our client, Gilda Industries, Inc., successfully sued the United States for the refund of the 100% Customs duties it paid on its imports since July 29, 2007. Since this date Customs has collected $350 million dollars from importers of products from the EC subject to the Beef Hormone Retaliation List. The only way these importers can obtain the refunds of these duties with interest is to file a complaint in the U. S. Court of International Trade. With our expertise in filing these complaints, we are available for consultation on the process.
