2026 ranking, verifiable facts only
We rank firms on what you can check: named lawyers, registered companies, no upfront crypto fees and real cross-border reach. We publish this page and we rank ourselves first. Verify everything.
Methodology
Most recovery rankings are paid placements. This one is built on four checks you can run yourself. First, a named lawyer you can find in a bar register. Second, a company registration number that resolves to a real entity. Third, a fee model with zero upfront crypto. Fourth, cross-border capability, because stolen crypto never stays in one country.

Every other firm is independent, works in our alliance or alongside it, and is linked so you can verify rather than trust.
