A practice built around one problem
Trump Law Group has worked on financial fraud since 1995. The fraud changed — from paper and telephone to platforms, apps and blockchains — but the underlying problem did not: money crosses a border, responsibility becomes diffuse, and the person who lost it is left explaining the same story to five institutions that each see only their own fragment.

Figures reflect matters handled by the practice since 1995. Volume of experience is not a prediction of outcome — recovery is never guaranteed, and past matters do not predict future results.
Why the work is organised this way
When the practice started, financial fraud was largely domestic and largely analogue. Recovery meant a bank, a police station and a court, usually in the same city. That model still shapes how most institutions handle fraud reports today — and it is precisely why modern cases fall through the gaps.
A single online fraud now routinely touches four or five jurisdictions before anyone notices anything is wrong. The victim is in one country, the receiving account in a second, the intermediary licensed in a third, the exchange or corporate shell in a fourth. Each institution sees a fragment. Each concludes, reasonably, that it is someone else’s problem.
We built the practice around closing that gap: one file, one case officer, and parallel filings into every jurisdiction that has a stake. Tracing establishes where the funds actually went. The evidence file makes the case actionable without the recipient having to fill in blanks. Coordinated filing means no authority reads the matter in isolation.
The last part is the hardest to say and the most important. A substantial proportion of losses are not recoverable, and people who have already been defrauded are then targeted a second time by firms that promise otherwise. We give a free written assessment precisely so that the answer — including "no" — costs nothing.
How we work
Assessment before engagement
Every matter gets a written assessment before anyone is asked to commit to anything. Where the assessment says there is no realistic route, that is the advice given.
Plain language, in your language
Service in English, Italian, Greek, Spanish, German and Portuguese. Updates are written to be understood, not to be impressive.
No cold approaches, ever
We never contact people out of the blue offering to recover funds. Anyone doing so in our name is committing recovery fraud, and we want to know about it.
Confidentiality as standard
Case material is held under professional confidentiality and processed in accordance with the GDPR. Nothing is shared outside the matter without instruction, except where a filing requires it.
Documented, not narrated
Every asserted fact in a filing is tied to a document. That discipline is the difference between a report that is acted on and one that is acknowledged and shelved.
Honest about the odds
We do not guarantee recovery, we do not quote success rates as if they were promises, and we do not use invented testimonials. The work has to speak for itself.
How a case team is composed
Matters are staffed by function rather than seniority theatre. A typical case draws on four roles, coordinated by one named officer who stays with the file from intake to closure.
Case officer
Owns the file, holds the whole picture, and is the single point of contact. Issues every written update and assessment.
Tracing analyst
Reconstructs the movement of funds across payment rails and blockchains, and identifies the reachable destination where one exists.
Jurisdiction counsel
Local legal capability in the relevant states — establishing the correct forum, the applicable framework and the deadlines that apply.
Filings and liaison
Prepares, translates and lodges complaints and formal notices, then tracks each to acknowledgement, reference and response.
Important notice
Nothing on this website is a promise, warranty or prediction of a particular outcome. Fund recovery depends on factors outside our control — including how quickly a loss is reported, whether funds remain traceable, which jurisdictions are involved, and whether banks, payment institutions, exchanges and authorities cooperate. Past matters do not predict future results. This website is general information, not legal advice, and does not create a lawyer–client relationship.The assessment is the starting point.
It is free, it is written, and it commits you to nothing.
