FAQ
How can I determine if I have a legally actionable case of fraud?
Many victims are unsure whether what happened to them constitutes fraud in the eyes of the law. Our team conducts a thorough case evaluation to determine the legal viability of pursuing recovery based on evidence, jurisdiction, and applicable regulations.
What legal recourse do I have against fraudulent investment brokers or platforms?
We help victims pursue arbitration or litigation through regulatory bodies like FINRA, and initiate civil claims against brokers, platforms, and third-party enablers for negligence, misrepresentation, or breach of fiduciary duty.
Are identity theft cases eligible for financial restitution through legal channels?
Yes. Victims of identity theft may be entitled to damages under consumer protection laws and may also be eligible for compensation through restitution, insurance claims, or data breach settlements.
How does your firm assist victims of international scams or cross-border fraud?
We collaborate with international legal networks, cybercrime units, and global financial regulators to trace assets and pursue recovery, even when perpetrators operate across jurisdictions.
What are my rights if I was defrauded by a business or in an employment scam?
Victims may have legal claims under labor laws, consumer protection statutes, or fraud regulations. We help assert those rights, especially where misrepresentation, wage theft, or impersonation occurred.
How does emotional trauma factor into legal claims for fraud victims?
While not all fraud cases involve emotional damage claims, in certain cases, especially involving romance scams, blackmail or personal trust violations, emotional distress can be considered in damage calculations.
Can funds lost to cryptocurrency scams be recovered, and if so, how?
While crypto recovery is complex due to anonymity and cross-border exchanges, we use forensic blockchain tracing, work with law enforcement, and initiate legal actions or asset freezes where possible to attempt recovery.
What steps should I take immediately after discovering I’ve been defrauded?
Time is critical in fraud recovery. We guide clients through the immediate steps, such as preserving digital evidence, notifying financial institutions, and filing reports with regulatory bodies, before legal action begins.
Can legal support still help if law enforcement closed my fraud case without resolution?
Yes. Civil recovery is distinct from criminal prosecution. Even if police or agencies decline to proceed, we can often pursue private legal action or claims through arbitration or regulatory channels.
How do you ensure client confidentiality and protect victims from retaliation or further harm?
We implement strict privacy protocols, secure communications, and may file motions to seal sensitive records where needed. In cases involving ongoing threats, we coordinate with authorities for protection.
What are the typical timelines and costs involved in pursuing fraud recovery?
Timelines depend on the case complexity, but we operate on a no upfront fee policy. You only pay once you’re satisfied with the progress and results of our work. This ensures we’re fully invested in achieving a successful outcome for you.
How can your pre-investment and payment advisory prevent fraud before it happens?
We analyze proposed investments, payment requests, or new business relationships to detect red flags, review legitimacy, and recommend risk-mitigation measures to protect clients before committing funds
