Which cases do we handle?
The schemes differ, the underlying question is always the same: where did your money go — and from whom can it be reclaimed? Choose the case that comes closest to yours.
Crypto fraud
Fake crypto exchanges, fraudulent wallets, supposed Bitcoin investments: payments in cryptocurrency also leave traces, and those can often be followed further than people expect.
Broker fraud
Dubious online brokers with manipulated trading screens — frequently operating without the licence required under § 32 KWG. We establish who is behind the platform and who is liable for your loss.
Platform not paying out
Your account shows profits, but before any payout you are suddenly asked for “taxes” or “release fees”? Do not pay again — have the case reviewed legally first.

How it works
The way we work
- 01
Describe your case
You send us the sequence of events, your documents and the payment routes — online or by phone, free of charge and in confidence.
- 02
Receive an assessment
We examine the provider, the possible opposing parties and the prospects — and tell you plainly whether legal steps are worthwhile in your case.
- 03
Agree a strategy
Reporting the fraud to the prosecutors (the criminal complaint), obtaining the investigation file through us, pursuing the banks and platforms your money passed through: we agree the sensible steps — and their cost — with you in advance.
- 04
Pursue your claims
We represent you against perpetrators, participants and authorities — out of court and, where necessary, before the courts. Across Germany.
How to judge us
What you can expect from us — and what you cannot
Anyone looking for help after a fraud encounters a lot of big promises. We make none — we examine what is possible in your case before you commit to anything.
- No guarantee of success
- Reputable legal work comes without guarantees. We tell you honestly which steps stand a chance in your case — and which do not.
- No cold calling
- We never contact fraud victims unsolicited. Anyone who calls you out of the blue promising to recover your money is very likely a fraudster themselves.
- Transparent costs
- Fees follow clear rules — the German statutory fee scale (RVG) or a written agreement — and are explained before any work begins. No hidden upfront charges.
- Confidential & GDPR-compliant
- Your information is treated confidentially and processed exclusively within the EU.
Beware of promises to recover your money: So-called “recovery agencies” deliberately approach fraud victims, promise to get the money back and demand payment up front — frequently a second fraud. Reputable help never makes contact unsolicited and never guarantees success.
