Petition Guy helps individuals and businesses face Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with clarity and leverage. We respond to seizure and penalty notices, draft petitions, and cut through government red tape. But our services go beyond petitions: we support FOIA filings, penalty mitigation, congressional liaison strategies, and even Trusted Traveler (SENTRI / Global Entry) issues. CBP respects precision — not panic. We deliver that.

Because CBP isn’t going to give you fair consideration if you go in unprepared. They want your money, not your excuses. We know their rules, their deadlines, and their playbook. Petition Guy puts you in control of the process — and we offer more than one path to pressure CBP. From petitions to congressional inquiries to compliance packages, we diversify the tools we use to get results.

We help travelers, families, truckers, brokers, and businesses who find themselves against CBP. Cases range from personal currency seizures to commercial trade penalties. We also assist attorneys with paralegal-level petition drafting, and Spanish-speaking clients who need someone fluent in both the law and the language. If the government is holding your property or blocking your status, we help you push back.

No. Petition Guy’s primary focus is federal cases with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), but I’ve helped clients across the United States and internationally. In addition, I assist people with issues involving state and local government agencies, such as traffic violations, when those matters connect to administrative law. Petition Guy also helps clients in cases involving the U.S. Department of State, including visa and consular issues. Wherever the problem arises, I provide clear strategies for moving forward.

No. Petition Guy is a consulting service focused on administrative law and related matters. We typically don’t go to court, but can appear — by agreement — as a friend of the court. Our primary work includes handling petitions, FOIA requests, and correspondence with CBP, the U.S. Department of State, and other agencies. Petition Guy’s background includes training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Advanced Paralegal Studies, providing a deep foundation in federal administrative law.

Don’t panic — it’s not too late. Many clients come to us after they’ve already spoken with CBP or mailed a response. The important thing is to understand that every word matters in these cases. A poorly worded statement or incomplete letter can weaken your position, but it doesn’t end your options.

Petition Guy reviews what you’ve already said, corrects errors where possible, and realigns your response so it supports your case instead of hurting it. The key is not waiting — the sooner we step in, the better chance we have to control the outcome.
