After the money has already moved.

Most recoveries begin after the money has already moved. A joint account is empty. A wire instruction was not yours. An exchange ticket exists, or it does not. The useful question in the first hour is not who to blame. It is what trail can still be reconstructed, and who is entitled to ask.

That is still a file. Counsel may need to freeze, plead, or enforce. Inquiry may need to find the person, the pattern, or the account. Often both. Forecourt assigns that work from the briefing. You do not choose a house.

Banks and issuers of digital dollars appear when a freeze, a trace, or a return of value depends on them. That contact is private. If your matter involves a wire, an exchange, or a stablecoin, say so in the consultation. Assignment follows the facts.

A limitation period does not pause because a form was submitted. A consultation is not a retainer. If a deadline is close, mark the briefing urgent and put the date in the summary. A principal will reply within one business day, and sooner when the harm is still moving.

Tell us what happened, in the order it happened. Names, dates, and sums are more useful than conclusions. Cross-border trails are ordinary. Discretion is how the file is held, not a slogan on the way out.
