You may have received a Seizure or Detention notice from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), found out that you are the target of an investigation, or discovered that you are otherwise to be penalized for the alleged violation of a CBP–enforced regulation. You need counsel to protect your rights. Rights not asserted in a timely manner are often lost.

U.S. Customs Seizures are almost always a surprise and may happen even when you attempt to follow applicable laws and regulations. If you are an importer wrongly accused, we will stand between you and CBP to petition for release of a seizure and /or seek the reduction or complete elimination of any fines and penalties.

Neil B. Mooney, Esq. and the Mooney Law Firm can represent you in Customs investigations and penalty proceedings for negligence, gross negligence or fraud. If you believe that you may have violated CBP’s regulations but have not received an official notification, we can assist you in evaluating your issues and seek to resolve the issue with Customs prior to the initiation of a formal investigation to minimize potential liability.
