The expert team of forensic financial investigators at Able Legal Investigations has the experience it takes to evaluate complex financial transactions and to trace and locate hidden assets through a tangle of records, companies, and financial entities designed to hold or hide the misappropriated funds.
Every day that passes once monetary assets have been stolen or misappropriated gives the offender time to more effectively hide the funds, move the funds into undisclosed entities, into shell corporations, or into offshore accounts. The longer the offender has control of your misappropriated funds, the more difficult the recovery process is likely to be.

We can uncover individual and corporate corruption, expose money laundering as the method used to hide or move the assets, trace ownership of assets and property, valuate assets of an individual or business, and utilize forensic investigation techniques to analyze your computers for electronic evidence and to recover lost or erased computer data.
The team of asset recovery specialists at Able Legal Investigations has demonstrated success in numerous asset recovery matters and will conduct a preliminary investigation to assess your potential for asset recovery.
Our initial asset search investigation will search for evidence of available assets, examine available financial information, and may also include interviews of pivotal individuals. We will also help you evaluate the vulnerabilities that allowed your assets to be misappropriated in the first place. We can then develop a recovery strategy, track the funds through the banking system, assist you or your attorney with judgment enforcement actions, and help you recover your stolen funds or company assets.
Additionally, our background and reputation allows us to effectively serve as liaison with law enforcement and prosecutors, if warranted, to bring a criminal case against the offenders.
