January 18th, 2009: Client's vehicle returned after Sheriff's Office attempted to Forfeit it.

DateJanuary 18, 2010

On December 8th, 2009, the Palm Beach County Sheriff arrested our client for Possession of Cocaine.  The Sheriff's Office then gave formal notice of their intent, under Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act, Sections 932.701-706, to seize and forfeit his vehicle.

Robert Norvelland Associates filed a demand for an Adversarial Preliminary Hearing to challenge this action.  The sheriff's office responded with an offer to release the vehicle for $3,000.00. 

Our office rejected that offer and set the case for hearing.  Again the Sheriff sought to resolve the matter before the hearing dropping their offer to $1,200.00.  This too was rejected.

Finally, right before the hearing the Sheriff reluctantly agreed to return the client's vehicle for $750.00.  Our client agreed and got his car back that day.
