Frequently asked
Before instructing counsel.
- How soon should I act?
- As soon as possible. Funds dissipate quickly; early intervention is the single biggest factor in recovery viability.
- What if the scammer is abroad?
- Cross-border recovery is our specialism, though outcomes depend on cooperation with local counsel and authorities.
- Will you guarantee recovery?
- No reputable firm can. We provide a candid assessment of viability before any engagement.
