Our approach
We handle every case personally, from the first conversation to the outcome
No handing you off to a colleague halfway through — you always deal with the person who is genuinely running your case.
Services
Protecting the victims of financial fraud
Three areas in which we advise in depth, not at surface level.
We deliberately do not try to cover the entire legal field. Instead, we concentrate on cases involving victims of broker collapses, crypto-exchange insolvencies and fraudulent investment platforms — and in each of them we run the matter personally, from the first consultation to the final result, without passing it to anyone else.
Forex and CFD brokers
Broker collapse, compensation funds, regulator-enforced compensation, restitution through the courts.

One path — from the first conversation to the outcome, and you always know the price in advance
Your first conversation with us lasts 30 minutes, and it is always free. Everything that follows is laid out for you in advance: what we do at each step and what it costs — in writing, before we begin.
Statutory rate
A standard case
The rate is set by the Lawyers' Remuneration Act (RVG) — it depends on the amount in dispute, so you can estimate the approximate cost even before our first conversation.
Individual fee, in writing
A complex or long-running case
By agreement, a bonus is added to the fee — 10% of the sum you actually recover, and only once that money has genuinely come in. For large, unusual or time-intensive matters, the base fee is a fixed sum or an hourly rate — in writing, up front: the figure you see at the start is the one you see at the end.
The state may cover the legal costs
A state-funded lawyer
In Germany this is called Prozesskostenhilfe; similar mechanisms exist in the other EU countries where we handle cases. We will check free of charge whether your income, assets and the prospects of your case meet the requirements, and help you complete everything needed.
How it works
Free consultation
30 minutes: you tell us what happened, and you get a clear answer straight away — what your realistic options are.
Case analysis and price — on paper
We study the documents and facts of your case and, on that basis, set out a plan of action and the exact cost — in writing, before any work begins.
Seeing the case through to the outcome
Negotiation, correspondence or litigation — depending on the case. We see it through to the end.
I want every client to feel that we are on the same side — you know the cost in advance, and we have every interest in recovering as much for you as possible.

Frequently asked questions
The questions about fees we are asked most often
Yes. The first 30 minutes are always free. You receive a realistic assessment of your situation, and only then decide whether to entrust the matter to us.
Before any work begins — we always agree the fee in writing, in the engagement contract rather than verbally, so the amount is fixed and clear to you.
It is the Lawyers' Remuneration Act (RVG) — for standard matters it sets a rate based on the amount in dispute. The rate is public and verifiable, so you can work out the approximate cost yourself.
In more complex or long-running matters we offer a fixed sum or an hourly rate and agree a convenient payment schedule together with you — it is worth raising this straight away during the first consultation.
It is an additional payment on top of the agreed fee — 10% of the sum you actually recover thanks to our work. It applies only once the money has genuinely reached your account, and it is always fixed in writing in advance.
We will check free of charge whether you qualify for state-funded legal aid — in Germany this is Prozesskostenhilfe, and similar mechanisms exist in the other EU countries where we handle cases. We will explain this option to you at the very first consultation.
