Do I need a lawyer or a tracing firm?
Often both, and they are not the same entity. Start with the trace and the evidence. Instruct a lawyer if you agree and the lawyer accepts.
This heading is the phrase people type. ACS Legal Limited does not provide the legal advice. If you agree, we introduce an admitted lawyer at a separate firm, or you contact that firm yourself. No win, no fee. $0 upfront.
ACS Legal Limited (Hong Kong CR 61832470) is a cryptocurrency asset-recovery firm. It traces stolen Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT and prepares the evidence file. Legal advice and any court filing are handled by admitted lawyers at separate firms, and only if you agree to that introduction. SarahLegal.co (Sarah Schumacher, Swiss Bar, Canton of Jura) may be instructed. Crypto Justice Legal (Sascha Christener, admitted in the Canton of Bern in February 2018) is a separate firm you can contact directly. Sending a form does not hire a lawyer. We aim to contact you within one business day. ACS does not accept citizens or permanent residents of the United States, Germany, Italy, or France.
A lawyer can give advice and can file a claim or a freeze request where the facts and the court allow it. ACS traces Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT and prepares the evidence file the lawyer may use.
SarahLegal.co may be instructed. Crypto Justice Legal is a separate Swiss attorney, admitted in Bern in February 2018. Read https://cryptojusticelegal.ch/how-to-verify-a-swiss-crypto-lawyer/ before you rely on any message that claims to be from a Swiss lawyer.
Ask who the admitted lawyer is, which bar register lists them, and whether the fee is in writing. Ask whether anyone will demand a private key or an upfront payment in crypto. ACS fails that demand test on purpose: we never ask for those things.
There is no charge to request a review. If we accept the case, you sign written terms first. The success fee is typically 12.5% of funds that actually reach you. If nothing is recovered, no success fee is due. Court, bank, or conversion charges can still arise.
