Cash Seizures at St. Pete–Clearwater Airport

If you were detained by law enforcement officers at St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) or arrested for a criminal offense, contact the attorneys at Sammis Law Firm.

Our attorneys represent clients for incidents that happen at area airports, including St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport. The most common problems at the airport include an arrest for drugs, accidentally bringing a firearm or weapon through the security checkpoint, or having U.S. currency seized before a domestic or international flight for civil asset forfeiture.

For federal civil asset forfeiture cases, we help our client file a demand for court action. That claim triggers a 90-day deadline for the government to either agree to give the seized asset back or file a complaint for forfeiture in the U.S. District Court.

In many cases, we can convince them not to file the complaint. If they do, we are experienced in litigating these cases in federal court.

We are experienced in handling those types of cases. Let us put our experience to work for you.
