Everything remote
You do not need to travel to Brazil to start. We work by WhatsApp and video call, documents are sent digitally and signatures are electronic. No serious lawyer guarantees getting your money back before reviewing the case; what we guarantee is an honest assessment of what is possible and transparent work, with fees agreed in writing.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be in Brazil to hire you?
No. Meetings, documents and the engagement letter are all handled remotely.
Can I get my money back?
It depends on the case: how long ago the scam happened, where the money went and who received it. The initial review shows which options exist; no serious lawyer promises the outcome before that.
Can I write to you in English?
Yes. You can message us in English on WhatsApp.
What should I do first?
Keep every piece of evidence (chats, receipts, account details) and talk to a lawyer as soon as possible.
How much does it cost?
Fees depend on the case and are given in writing after the review, before any engagement.
