About us
Total client funds recovered for victims worldwide
Jurisdictions where we actively run recovery operations
Investigators, analysts and legal recovery experts on staff
We tell you what is realistic, not what you want to hear. Every case assessment is honest - including when recovery odds are low.
Your case details are encrypted, access-restricted and never shared. Many clients come to us after telling no one else.
Every claim we make is backed by a traceable chain of evidence built to stand up in court.
Our recovery actions run through legitimate legal channels - freezing orders, civil claims and regulated exchange cooperation.
A dedicated case manager, plain-English updates and a portal that keeps you informed at every stage.
We set milestones at the start of every case and review progress against them until the money is back, or the road is genuinely exhausted.
Testimonials
“I was in complete despair - my life savings gone, my family devastated. When Patterdale called to say they'd recovered over £66,000, I broke down in tears. They didn't just get my money back, they gave me hope again. I can finally sleep at night.”
“I felt so ashamed - how could I have been so foolish? Emily at Patterdale told me there was nothing foolish about trusting someone I loved. They treated me with such kindness and recovered £31,500 I thought was gone forever. My daughter says I'm smiling again for the first time in two years.”
“Losing £120,000 nearly destroyed my marriage. We were weeks from losing our home. Patterdale's team worked tirelessly across three countries and recovered £78,000 - enough to save our house and rebuild. David kept us informed every step and never once made us feel like just another case number.”
“As a small business owner, losing £210,000 was existential - we were days from being unable to make payroll. Patterdale's speed was extraordinary; they had a court order within hours and recovered 90% of our funds. They literally saved our company and the livelihoods of 35 employees.”
“The NFT space moves fast and I got caught up in the hype. When the rug pulled, I felt like an idiot - $65,000 gone overnight. Sarah's team traced the funds through mixers and found the real identities behind the project. Getting $35,750 back when everyone said it was impossible? That's what I call results.”
