The recovery timeline varies depending on the complexity of the case, jurisdiction, and cooperation from financial institutions.

GAFS maintains an 87% success rate in fund recovery cases. We have successfully recovered over $500 million for more than 15,000 clients worldwide. Our success is attributed to our experienced legal team, advanced investigation techniques, and strong relationships with international financial institutions and law enforcement agencies. However, each case is unique and success depends on various factors including evidence quality and timing.

Yes, GAFS operates globally with a presence in 85+ countries. Our international network includes licensed attorneys, forensic accountants, and cybersecurity experts who understand local laws and regulations. We handle cross-border fraud cases and work closely with international law enforcement agencies, INTERPOL, and financial regulators to track and recover funds regardless of where the fraud occurred.

To initiate your case, please provide: transaction records and receipts, communication history with the fraudster (emails, messages, calls), bank statements showing the transfers, any contracts or agreements, screenshots of websites or platforms used, and identification documents. The more documentation you can provide, the stronger your case will be. Our team will guide you through the documentation process during the initial consultation.

GAFS operates on a contingency fee basis for most cases, meaning we only charge a percentage of the recovered funds (typically 15-25% depending on case complexity). There are no upfront fees for case evaluation and consultation. For cases requiring extensive international legal action, we may discuss a hybrid fee structure. We believe in transparent pricing and will provide a detailed fee agreement before proceeding with your case.

During your free initial consultation, our legal expert will review your case details, assess the likelihood of recovery, explain the legal process, and outline potential strategies. This typically takes 30-45 minutes and can be conducted via phone, video call, or in-person. We will also discuss timelines, required documentation, and answer all your questions. There is no obligation to proceed after the consultation.

Our team is experienced in navigating international legal frameworks, mutual legal assistance treaties (MLATs), and cross-border asset recovery procedures.
