[WSBAPT] [Off Topic, but Interesting] Legal Counsel Needed for Return of Rare Ivory Crucifix to France

[Jared E. Adams]

I had a client email me about an interesting and unusual matter-way outside of my legal practice. I'm hoping someone on the listserv might have a referral for me.

My client said:

I've inherited an ivory crucifix from my grandmother that she brought out of France in 1952, one that she'd rescued from behind enemy lines in 1914 while helping to evacuate a military hospital in eastern France.  I now wish to repatriate it to France. I'm in contact with French department of cultural affairs who have an interest in it...believed to date from the 1700's.  I need an attorney to advise me about what legalities, particularly ESA qualifications to carry it out of USA.

Anyone out there have any ideas on who I could refer this client to?

Thank you in advance!

Jared
