PRACTICE AREAS

Cases We Handle

If your money is stuck on any of these platforms, talk to us before it's moved offshore.

Crypto Fraud

Fake exchanges, wallet-drainer dApps, “mining pool” and OTC scams. Full on-chain tracing.

Fake Trading Platforms

Stocks, forex, futures & CFDs apps showing fake profits, then blocking withdrawals.

Pig-Butchering

Scammers build trust on WhatsApp / Telegram / dating apps, then lure you to invest.

Romance + Investment

“Partner” guides you to trade. We preserve chats as evidence & pursue recovery.

Wire / Bank Fraud

Wire recall, SWIFT investigation, bank subpoenas, and demand to beneficiary banks.

Shopping / Job / Loan Scams

Fake marketplaces, task-brushing jobs, advance-fee loans. Chargeback & legal action.

Time matters: stolen crypto is often mixed within 72 hours and wires become harder to recall after 30–60 days. Preserve logins, chats and receipts — then get reviewed now →

CLIENT STORIES

Victims Who Fought Back

“I lost $68,000 on a fake crypto platform. They traced my USDT across three wallets and got the exchange to freeze part of it. I finally felt someone was on my side.”

— Robert M., Texas · Crypto scam

“The 'trading mentor' from WhatsApp vanished with $120K. Whitfield & Crane LLP Cole filed everything, handled my bank, and kept me updated weekly. Professional from day one.”

— Linda K., California · Pig-butchering

“They told me honestly my $8K case was better via chargeback than litigation — and helped me do it free. Rare honesty. I refer everyone here.”

— Daniel O., Florida · Fake marketplace

FAQ

Common Questions

Still unsure? Ask us directly →

Corporate buildings
Can stolen crypto or wired money really be recovered?

Sometimes, yes — especially if we act fast: exchanges can freeze funds, banks can recall wires, and courts can order returns. No honest lawyer can promise a result, but tracing + legal pressure is far stronger than going it alone or trusting anonymous “hackers.”

How much does the case review cost?

The initial review is free and confidential. If we accept your case, we explain contingency vs. flat-fee options in writing before you sign anything.

What do you need from me?

Platform name/URL, deposit records, wallet addresses or bank wires, chat history (WhatsApp/Telegram/dating app), and any ID/KYC you submitted. Don't delete anything — screenshots help.

I'm not a U.S. citizen. Can you still help?

Yes. Many victims live abroad but the platform, bank or exchange touches the U.S. We evaluate jurisdiction in your free review.

How do I avoid a second scam?

Never pay “unlock / tax / margin” fees to withdraw, never give seed phrases or screen-share your wallet, and never hire anyone who guarantees recovery or asks for crypto upfront.
