Our crypto litigation and recovery services.
- Crypto litigation — contract, investor, partnership and token sale disputes in court and arbitration.
- Crypto fraud — claims against people and companies that misrepresented a project, investment or platform, and defense for those accused.
- Frozen exchange accounts — locked, restricted or closed accounts and withheld withdrawals.
- Crypto scams — what a lawyer can and can’t do after a scam.
- Recovering stolen crypto — how tracing, freezes and court orders work, and the realistic odds.
From first facts to a strategy.
- Case assessment — what happened, which records exist, which parties and jurisdictions are involved, and which forums are realistically available.
- Evidence and tracing — organizing on-chain and off-chain evidence, including blockchain fund-flow analysis, so a claim or defense rests on documented facts.
- Platform and custodian engagement — preservation letters to exchanges and custodians, and applications for court orders where the facts and law support them.
- Litigation and arbitration — contract, investor and partnership disputes in federal and state courts and in arbitration, including disputes under platform terms of service.
- Regulators and law enforcement — responding to subpoenas and inquiries, and helping clients report fraud to the appropriate agencies.
- Tainted-asset allegations — helping counterparties respond when they are accused of holding or receiving illicit funds.
A field crowded with false promises.
Crypto-related fraud losses reported to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) reached a record $11.4 billion in 2025, up from $9.3 billion in 2024. The FBI has also warned that fraudulent “recovery” services, including people posing as lawyers or law firms, target victims a second time.
- No guarantees — outcomes depend on where assets went, whether they can be identified and reached, and which courts or authorities have jurisdiction. Be wary of anyone who promises recovery.
- No “release fees” — legitimate counsel does not ask you to pay fees, deposits or other charges to unlock frozen funds. Before paying anyone who claims they can recover crypto, verify who they are independently.
- Written terms — any engagement with Crypto Law Hub begins with a written engagement letter setting out the scope of the work and the fees.
- Report and preserve — report fraud to IC3 at ic3.gov and preserve transaction hashes, wallet addresses, messages, screenshots and account records.
When something has gone wrong.
- Businesses with counterparty disputes — token sale, development, market-making, services or partnership agreements that were not performed.
- Investors and token holders — claims involving misrepresentation, frozen withdrawals or failed platforms.
- Platforms and service providers — responding to user claims, subpoenas or allegations of receiving tainted funds.
- Fraud victims — individuals and companies who need a realistic view of their options after a theft or scam.
- As soon as you discover a loss — so records, messages and account data are preserved while they are still available.
- Before you pay a “recovery” service — to check whether it is legitimate.
- When you receive a demand, subpoena or freeze notice — before you respond.
- Before a dispute escalates — while a negotiated outcome may still be available.
How a crypto recovery or dispute matter unfolds.
- Preserve — save transaction hashes, wallet addresses, messages, screenshots and account records, ideally within the first 48 hours.
- Trace — follow the funds on-chain to see where they went and whether they reached an exchange, custodian or stablecoin issuer.
- Find the chokepoints — regulated platforms and issuers that hold the assets are usually the only practical places to stop them.
- Act — send preservation letters, file a claim, or seek court orders such as subpoenas, asset freezes or a suit against unidentified defendants.
- Resolve — negotiate, arbitrate or litigate to judgment, then enforce it against assets that can be reached.
Crypto dispute and recovery questions.
- Can I sue a scammer if I don’t know who they are? Often, yes. Courts allow suits against unidentified “John Doe” defendants, and subpoenas to exchanges can reveal who controls a wallet. Some courts have also allowed legal papers to be served through the wallet itself.
- How long does crypto litigation take? Urgent steps such as preservation letters or emergency court orders can happen within days. A full lawsuit or arbitration usually takes months to more than a year, depending on the forum and whether the other side contests it.
- What should I bring to a consultation? A timeline of what happened, transaction hashes and wallet addresses, the platform accounts involved, and any messages, contracts or screenshots. Do not delete anything, even if it seems unimportant.
