Fraud Claims & Asset Tracing

What the work involves

When money has been taken by someone you trusted, the first question is where it is now, and the second is how fast it can move again. We are set up to answer both quickly, including at night and on weekends.

Emergency relief is the core tool: temporary restraining orders, prejudgment attachment and asset freezes obtained on short notice, backed by a sworn record strong enough to survive the hearing that follows.

Courts grant this kind of relief on the strength of what you disclose, including the facts that hurt you. We set out the other side's likely answers fully and fairly, because that candor is what keeps an order in place.

Tracing is patient, forensic work. We use subpoenas, bank records and cooperation with accountants to follow funds through shell entities and nominee accounts, and we say plainly when the trail has gone cold.

If the evidence shows the money is gone, we tell you so rather than billing for a search that cannot succeed. Some of our most valued advice has been the recommendation to stop.

Matters we see often

• Emergency TROs and asset freezes against departing insiders
• Civil RICO, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty claims
• Tracing funds through shell companies and offshore accounts
• Enforcing judgments against evasive debtors
