General Questions
What is fraud recovery and how does it work?
Fraud recovery is the process of reclaiming money lost to financial scams or fraudulent schemes. Our attorneys use legal tools — demand letters, regulatory complaints, court orders, asset tracing — to pursue recovery from fraudsters, platforms, or financial institutions that facilitated the fraud.
How much does the initial consultation cost?
Nothing. The initial case review is completely free and carries no obligation. If your case has potential, we will discuss fees and success-based compensation before any work begins.
Can you guarantee I'll get my money back?
No. No reputable law firm guarantees outcomes. Every case is different. We give you an honest assessment of your chances — nothing sugar-coated, nothing promised. We only take cases we believe have genuine recovery potential.
How is my privacy protected?
Your privacy is paramount. All information you share is protected by attorney-client privilege and used solely to evaluate and pursue your case. We never share your data with third parties without your explicit consent. All communications are encrypted.
Is there a minimum loss amount?
Generally, we review cases starting from $5,000 in losses. For smaller amounts, legal costs may exceed potential recovery. Exceptions can be made depending on the circumstances and the strength of the case.
Process Questions
How long does the recovery process take?
The initial assessment takes 24-48 hours. If the case moves forward, full recovery typically takes 2-12 months depending on complexity, the number of jurisdictions involved, and the cooperation of financial institutions.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
The initial review is free. If we proceed, you pay an agreed retainer fee and a success fee based on the amount recovered. All costs are clearly communicated before any work begins. No hidden charges.
What happens after I submit my case?
Within 24-48 hours, a fraud recovery specialist will review your submission and contact you with a preliminary assessment. If your case is viable, we schedule a detailed consultation to discuss the legal strategy, timeline, and costs.
What documents do I need to provide?
Any evidence of the fraud: bank statements showing transfers, screenshots of the platform or communications, emails, and proof of identity. The more documentation you have, the stronger your case. We'll guide you on what's needed.
Can I communicate in my native language?
Yes. Our team speaks English, German, Spanish, and Russian fluently. We also have access to interpreters for other languages. We want you to feel fully informed at every stage.
Legal Questions
Which country's law applies to my case?
It depends on the specifics: where the fraudster is based, where the platform is registered, where the victim resides, and where the funds were sent. Our attorneys are experienced in cross-jurisdictional cases and identify the most favourable legal framework.
Do you take legal action in court?
When necessary. Many cases are resolved through regulatory complaints, demand letters, or negotiations. If those fail, we pursue litigation in the appropriate court. You approve any legal action before it is taken.
Can you help if the fraudster is in another country?
Yes. Cross-border fraud is our speciality. We coordinate with law firms and authorities in multiple jurisdictions to trace assets and pursue recovery, regardless of where the fraudster is located.
What is the success fee?
The success fee is a percentage of the total amount recovered, typically 10-15% depending on the complexity of the case. This aligns our interests with yours — we only get paid when you recover your money.
Are there any circumstances where I might not get any money back?
Yes. Some fraudsters move assets to untraceable locations, use cryptocurrencies that are difficult to recover, or operate from jurisdictions with weak legal cooperation. We assess these risks transparently before we begin.
Costs & Payment
How are your fees structured?
We use a hybrid model: a fixed retainer fee (depending on the plan) plus a success fee (percentage of recovered amount). The exact percentages and retainers are discussed and agreed upon before any work begins.
What if I can't afford the retainer?
We understand that fraud victims are often in difficult financial situations. We may be able to structure a payment plan or adjust the retainer based on the specifics of your case. Contact us to discuss options.
Do you charge for initial phone calls or emails?
No. All initial communications — phone calls, emails, and the case assessment — are completely free. You only pay if you decide to proceed with a formal engagement.
Can I get a refund if the case is unsuccessful?
The retainer covers the work performed (case analysis, strategy development, initial legal actions). The success fee is only charged when funds are recovered. Specific terms are outlined in our engagement agreement.
Do you accept payments in cryptocurrency?
Yes. We accept payments in major cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT) as well as traditional bank transfers and credit cards. All payments are processed securely.
