FAQs

The questions clients ask first.

How long do I have to act after a fraud?

For wire transfers, the first 24–72 hours are most important. For crypto and investment fraud, civil claims can be brought years later though evidence quality degrades. The honest answer: sooner is always better, but it's almost never too late to start.

What does it cost?

The initial 30-minute assessment is free, no obligation. Investigation is a fixed fee scoped to your case. Recovery is a hybrid retainer-plus-success model. You see the full quote before you sign.

Is my information confidential?

Yes. NDAs are available on request before the call. Submissions are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never publish, share, or reference cases without written consent.

I feel embarrassed. Will you judge me?

No. Embarrassment is the most common reason victims delay and the schemes are professionally designed to fool sophisticated people. Bringing your case to us is the smart move.

Do I need a lawyer first?

Not before talking to us. Our assessment will tell you whether and when you'll need counsel and we work with a network of trusted firms across 27 jurisdictions if you do.

What if I'm not in the UK?

About 60% of our cases are international. We work across the US, EU, UAE, Singapore, and beyond. The first call is the same regardless of location.
