SRA-regulated solicitors · Fraud & asset recovery
Money taken by fraud can often still be reached
Crown Solicitors acts for people and businesses defrauded through investment, cryptocurrency and bank fraud. We establish where the money went, and we use the courts to go after it.
We will not promise to recover it. We will tell you honestly whether it can be.

What we do
Every part of the work, in one place
Recovery comes apart when the tracing, the evidence and the litigation sit with three different people who have never spoken. Here they do not — the people who establish what happened are the people who argue it.
Recovery
Investment and cryptocurrency scam recovery
Establishing whether money lost to a fake platform or a false broker can still be reached, and acting on the answer.

Read moreHow it works
Four stages, in order
Assessment
You tell us what happened. Somebody at the firm reads it properly and gives you a straight view of whether anything can be recovered. Free, and you hear the answer even when it is no.
Establish
We find out where the money actually went — through the banks and payment firms, or across the blockchain — and who is holding it now.
Secure
Where the evidence supports it, we go to court to stop the funds moving again and to compel whoever holds them to say who they are.
Pursue
Proceedings, negotiation and enforcement against what has been found, alongside any claim against the bank that let the payment out.
Check the register before you trust anybody with this
Anyone can build a website and offer to get your money back. A firm of solicitors answers to the Solicitors Regulation Authority, carries compulsory insurance, holds client money under rules it did not write, and can be struck off. None of that is true of an unregulated recovery agent, and none of it depends on believing what we tell you — it is a matter of public record, and it takes a minute to look up.

Before you trust anybody
The questions worth asking first
How do I know you are not another scam?
Ask it of everyone, including us — fake recovery services are one of the commonest second frauds, and the people running them are fluent in exactly the reassurance you want to hear. The difference here is verifiable in about a minute and does not depend on trusting anything we say: Crown Solicitors is a firm of solicitors, authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under number 8011477. Look that number up on the SRA's own public register before you speak to us. An unregulated recovery agent cannot appear there, cannot carry the compulsory insurance that comes with it, and cannot be struck off for taking your money.
What does the first conversation cost?
Nothing, and it carries no obligation. If we go on to act for you, how the work is funded is agreed with you in writing before any chargeable work starts, so you are never presented with a bill you did not see coming.
Can you get my money back?
We do not know yet, and anybody who answers that question before looking at your case is selling you something. Some money is recoverable and some is genuinely gone. What we will do is find out which applies to you and tell you honestly, including when the answer is one you would rather not hear.
In their words
People the firm has acted for
★★★★★
After falling for an investment scam, I thought I’d lost everything — my money and my peace of mind. Their immediate honesty about what could and couldn’t be done was refreshing. They kept me updated regularly and showed real commitment to helping me recover. I’m grateful to have found someone I could actually trust.
★★★★★
What gave me the greatest peace of mind was knowing my case was being handled by experienced legal professionals rather than just recovery agents. From the beginning, everything was explained in a clear, honest, and transparent way, with no pressure or sales tactics.
★★★★★
Throughout the entire process, the team was attentive, understanding, and respectful. They set realistic expectations instead of making promises they couldn’t guarantee, and even though I felt embarrassed by my situation, they treated me with compassion, professionalism, and complete respect.
