Need Attorney Help

Posted by swmndct , 06 December 2011 · 28 views

Scott and Danielle are a young couple getting messed with by they federal government (ATF) and we need help. We don't know anything about court system because neither of us have ever been in trouble. They give us codes we know nothing about. We have James Evans on our side not charging us a dime because we have nothing to give him. We had the ATF come to their home because they had firearms and medical marijuana. How did they know anyways? Why did they pick us? Why does this have to be happening in this state/country? This was back in early August, the ATF never stated anything about medical marijuana and firearms until late September. We thought we were legal, all firearms were legal and way under legal limit of medicine was in the home. No charges we made when they left the house they just took everything. So we sent a letter asking for our seized propery back and their response was three different letters. The first one is to Scott and states he was in violation of 26 USC Section 5861. Administrative forfeiture proceedings have commenced in accordance with provisions of 18 USC 3051©(1) and 19USC1602-1618. The second letter is Scott and it states, he was in violation of 18 USC 924(d). Administrative forfeiture proceedings have commenced in accordance with provisions of 18 USC 3051©, 19 USC 1602-1618 and 18 USC 983. The third one is to Danielle and it says she was in violation of 18 USC 924(d). Administrative forfeiture proceeding have commenced in accordance with the provisions of 18 USC 3051©, 19 USC 1602-1618 and 18 USC 983.

So we traveled three hours to meet with James Evans and Associates two days after the haooening. His website is JamesEvansandassociates.com and he offers adventure based counseling and intensive outpatient guidance. James is doing this all probono for us because he have no funds to give him. He says anyone who wants he help us with this to call him at (248)625-5533. He is looking for a lawyer to work with him for us through this case. We met with him for three hours that day just getting to know one another and telling him everything we experienced. Than James came to where we live to see how we live. We talked about what was happening to us all day long from 7 in the morning until 7 at night. James is a life saver. He can make someone who feels like nothing feel like they really are something. He has helped us out so much mentally it is unreal. Since this has happened to us things just haven't been quite the same. When it happened no one was charged with anything they just took everything and left. We sent a letter to the judge that signed the search warrant to try to get our belongings back and they said we have to send the letter to the clerk of court so we did so. Their response was a letter for us to forfeiture our property. If it wasn't for James Evans we would have NO IDEA what step to take. But with James Evans on our side, as our witness, we need attorney help from the ACLU, NRA, someone has to want to help us. If James Evans believes us everyone should. We have no money for an attorney, they took everything from us, search high and low and took every dollar out of our home.

Please feel free to post information that might help or if you know someone that will help.
Anything will help at this point.

Thank-you,
Scott and Danielle

The department may deny an application or renewal only if the applicant did not provide the information required pursuant to this section, or if the department determines that the information provided was falsified. Rejection of an application or renewal is considered a final department action, subject to judicial review. Jurisdiction and venue for judicial review are vested in the circuit court for the county of Ingham.

(g) Possession of, or application for, a registry identification card shall not constitute probable cause or reasonable suspicion, nor shall it be used to support the search of the person or property of the person possessing or applying for the registry identification card, or otherwise subject the person or property of the person to inspection by any local, county or state governmental agency.

(h) The following confidentiality rules shall apply:
