Q: I am trying to search for a lawyer that can help me with a case where my car was seized for drugs.
I am trying to go through legal aid in Tennessee to find a lawyer that can maybe help me with a case where my car was seized because it was driven by someone that was found to have and arrested for having 14 grams of methamphetamine with them in my car. Can you tell me what keywords I should type in for a case like that when I search for someone to help me please?
A: You should have received a Notice from the Seizing Agency. This is called civil forfeiture and you need an attorney to demand a DOS Hearing, post the Bond, and work out the best deal possible with the DOS attorney. If you are late, you will lose the car.
