Straight answer

We comply with valid legal process. We would rather you knew now.

Most facilities leave this vague. We publish it, because a defense attorney cannot responsibly refer a client somewhere whose position is unknown.

Consultations with counsel are complimentary. We can meet at the facility or at your office.

What we are

We are a custodian of lawfully held property. A client places property with us so that it survives a period during which they cannot look after it themselves. That is the whole of the service.

We respond to valid subpoenas and court orders. Where the law permits us to notify the renter, we do. Where an order prohibits notice, we follow the order.

We are not a means of placing assets beyond the reach of a court, a creditor, a restitution order, a forfeiture proceeding, or a bankruptcy estate. Using a custody arrangement for that purpose is unlawful, it exposes the client to further charges, and it exposes referring counsel. We will not knowingly assist it.

For counsel

Why this makes the service more useful, not less

A facility that hints at opacity is a facility you cannot use. The moment a prosecutor reads that marketing, your client’s storage arrangement becomes an exhibit rather than a housekeeping detail.

A clean, documented, disclosable custody arrangement is the opposite. It is explicable in one sentence, it produces a signed inventory that is helpful rather than harmful, and it survives scrutiny — which is the only kind of arrangement worth setting up before a sentencing date.

No overclaiming

Privacy, accurately described

Rental through a trust or an entity is lawful and common. Its purpose here is continuity and controlled access — making sure a named person can act while the client cannot — not concealment.

We keep client identity confidential in the ordinary course. We do not disclose who rents here, and we do not discuss clients. That confidentiality yields to valid legal process, as it does everywhere. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a problem.How entity rental actually works →

Common questions

Do you comply with subpoenas?
Yes. We comply with valid subpoenas and court orders. We do not represent otherwise to clients or to counsel.
Do you notify the renter?
Where we are lawfully permitted to do so, yes. Some orders prohibit notice, and we follow the order.
Is this a way to place assets beyond a court’s reach?
No, and it must not be used that way. Concealing assets from a court, a creditor, or a forfeiture or restitution proceeding is unlawful and we will not knowingly assist it.
Can a client store property that is subject to a forfeiture claim?
That is a question for counsel and for the court, not for us. If property is subject to a claim or an order, tell us and tell the court.
Why publish this at all?
Because counsel cannot refer to a facility whose position on legal process is unknown. Knowing it up front is what makes the referral safe.

Ask us the hard questions before you refer.

Tours are private and by appointment. You will see the vault door, the man-trap entry, and the box sizes in person. No account relationship is required to visit.
