About Whitmore & Bennett, LLP

Focused legal support
for online fraud victims.

Whitmore & Bennett, LLP assists individuals and businesses affected by online fraud, investment scams, and cryptocurrency losses. We assess the evidence, explain available legal options, and develop a case-specific approach to asset recovery.

Our firm

Evidence-led assessment.
Clear legal direction.

Whitmore & Bennett, LLP focuses on legal matters arising from online fraud and financial loss. Our work includes cryptocurrency scams, fraudulent investment platforms, bank transfer fraud, and cases involving assets transferred across borders.

We begin by reviewing the facts and available records, including payment confirmations, transaction histories, communications, and platform information. This review helps identify potential claims, relevant jurisdictions, and the evidence needed to evaluate recovery options.

Based on the circumstances, we advise on evidence preservation, asset tracing, reports to relevant authorities, and potential civil proceedings or asset-preservation measures. Where a matter involves another jurisdiction, we assess the need for coordination with appropriately licensed local counsel and other professionals.

We explain the proposed strategy, scope of services, fees, risks, and practical limitations before an engagement begins. Throughout the agreed work, we prioritize clear communication, careful handling of client information, and updates on material developments.

Each matter requires an individual assessment. Recovery depends on the evidence, applicable law, and the location and availability of assets; no particular outcome can be guaranteed.
