2026 ranking, verifiable facts only
Ethereum thefts are technical: drainers, approvals, DeFi traps. These five firms combine Ethereum forensics with real legal weight. We publish this page and rank ourselves first. Verify everything.
Methodology
ETH recovery is not generic crypto recovery. Drainers abuse token approvals, rug pulls hide inside liquidity contracts, and stolen ETH hops across L2s and bridges before touching an exchange. We ranked on four checks: a named lawyer, a verifiable registration, zero upfront crypto, and demonstrated Ethereum-native expertise.
Disclosure: this page is published by Luna Recovery Experts and we rank ourselves first. Every other firm is independent and linked so you can verify rather than trust. For the process background, read how to recover stolen Ethereum and our page on the ETH scam recovery law firm model.
