What is the name of your state? california (san diego county)
Ok so this is my story.
I used to live in a house with 3 other guys. It was 4 of us total. The police raided the house and found 9 pounds of marijuana in the garage; we were all arrested because it was in a common place. The thing is I haven’t lived at that house for over a month, but my name was on the lease agreement so they arrested me anyway. im still fighting this in court. they found nothing in my room but they found scales and baggies in my old roommates’ rooms. anyway they seized 9 grand in cash from my safety deposit box at the bank because they think its drug money but its not, its money my grandmother gave me before she died in 2003. the u.s. department of justice DEA sent me a letter saying I can contest the forfeiture. what exactly should I do? should I just send a letter explaining everything? if so what should I include? what kind of info? OR should I get an attorney to help me? thank you very much in advance, your help is greatly appreciated.
