International Clients — Cross-Border Fraud & Asset Recovery

Lost money to an investment, forex or crypto scam?

House of Attorney is an international litigation practice acting for individuals and businesses in the United States, Sweden and across Europe who have been defrauded across borders. We pursue recovery the only way it actually happens: tracing, disclosure, freezing orders and litigation in the jurisdictions where your money went.

How it works

How we pursue recovery

Three stages. You know exactly where your case stands at each one.

01

Case assessment

We review your documents and the money trail, and tell you plainly whether legal action is viable. If your case is not worth pursuing, we say so — in writing, before you spend anything on pursuit.

02

Tracing & evidence

We follow the funds: payment records, corporate registries, on-chain analysis, disclosure orders. Recovery is only possible once we know where the money went and who holds it.

03

Legal action

Demand, negotiation, regulatory complaint, freezing order, litigation — whichever routes the evidence supports, in the jurisdictions that matter.

Practice areas

Fraud recovery is litigation work

Each engagement is handled as a legal matter — with evidence, process and court authority behind it.

Investment & trading fraud

Civil claims against fraudulent trading platforms and investment schemes; securing, then enforcing, judgments against their operators and assets.

Cryptocurrency & digital assets

On-chain tracing with forensic partners, disclosure requests to exchanges, and freezing and recovery proceedings where assets can be located.

Forex & broker disputes

Claims against unlicensed or misconducting brokers, complaints to financial regulators, and recovery litigation across jurisdictions.

Bank & payment fraud

Chargeback escalation, liability claims against payment institutions, and recovery action where banks failed in their duties of care.

Identity theft & data misuse

Legal response to identity-based fraud: stopping ongoing misuse, pursuing those responsible, and repairing the damage done in your name.

Cross-border enforcement

Freezing injunctions, third-party disclosure orders, and enforcement of judgments in the countries where fraud proceeds are actually held.

About the firm

A real law practice — not a recovery agency

No honest firm guarantees recovery, and we never will. If a company promises a 100% success rate, you are looking at your second scam.

Named, accountable people Every matter is run by an identified case manager of the firm — a real named person you can reach, not an anonymous "recovery consultant".

Written case assessment You get our honest view in writing, including when the answer is that your case cannot realistically be pursued.

Cross-border reach Fraud proceeds rarely stay put. We act where the money went, across 40+ jurisdictions — from our Geneva headquarters and offices in New York, steps from the Manhattan courts, and Ottawa.

Be careful who you hire next. Victims of investment fraud are routinely targeted a second time by fake "asset recovery" firms that charge upfront fees and disappear. Before you engage anyone — including us — check that they are a real firm with named, contactable people and a verifiable business address, and that any lawyer acting for you is admitted in a jurisdiction you can look up.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers — the same ones we would give you in a meeting.

Can you guarantee my money back?

No — and no one honest can. Recovery depends on where the funds went, how fast you act, and whether the holders can be reached by legal process. What we guarantee is an honest written assessment before you commit to pursuit.

What does the assessment cost?

The initial assessment is free. If we believe your case is viable, we set out scope and fees in writing before any engagement begins.

You are a European firm — why does that help a US client?

Because the money rarely stays in the US. Cross-border fraud runs through European and offshore accounts, brokers and exchanges — jurisdictions where our lawyers work. US matters are handled as cross-border engagements, with local counsel where a US court step is required.

How long does recovery take?

Weeks in the best cases, where funds are frozen in reachable accounts. Longer where litigation or enforcement abroad is needed. You get a realistic timeline in the assessment — not a sales pitch.
