Who is Montgomery Blair Sibley?

My practice has been largely limited the last eighteen years to forfeiture cases initiated by federal and state agencies. I am a former criminal prosecutor with extensive civil litigation experience. I am both a Continuing Legal Education lecturer and author on state and Federal Forfeitures. Additionally, I am a past president of Forfeiture Endangers American Rights, Inc., a leading anti-forfeiture reform organization.

For a reference to the longstanding nature of my work in this field and the complexity of the cases I have handled, see: U.S. vs. Daccarrett 6 F.3d 37 (2nd Cir. 1993). This case highlights many of the issues found in a forfeiture case (and many issues seldom raised). It serves as an excellent primer on forfeiture law.

Curiously, my calling for representing those whom the state would seek to dispossess has ancestral precedent.

I am, of course, available for co-counsel, referral or direct trial or appellate representation in forfeiture matters. To see why this is a good idea, click here.
