Valken handles the full spectrum of crypto-related legal emergencies — from exchange account freezes and AML compliance disputes to blockchain tracing and stolen-fund recovery. Led by a former European Financial Intelligence Unit investigator, we work directly with compliance departments at 21+ exchanges, stablecoin issuers, and law enforcement across jurisdictions.
Most crypto legal problems fall into one of two categories. Pick yours below — each has its own dedicated legal team, process, and pricing.
Each platform has its own compliance process, documentation requirements, and escalation paths. We know the differences — and we work directly with their compliance teams, not customer support.
Different freeze reasons require different legal strategies. We identify the exact block type and respond accordingly — not with a generic appeal, but with a targeted compliance response.
Before you respond to a compliance request or report a scam, read our reference materials. Written by our crypto compliance counsel — a former European Financial Intelligence Unit investigator.
In-depth articles written by our crypto compliance counsel, a former European FIU investigator. Practical guidance based on real cases — not theory.
We respond to all inquiries within 6 hours during business days, often faster. For urgent cases — particularly those involving active fund movement or imminent account closures — we can begin work the same day. Once engaged, we typically deliver the initial compliance response package within 48-72 hours.
We work directly with compliance teams at 21+ exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit, KuCoin, Bitfinex, MEXC, HTX, Gate.io, and others. We also handle stablecoin blacklist cases with Tether, Circle, and MakerDAO. If your platform isn't listed, contact us — we may still be able to help or refer you to a specialist.
Account Unlock is for when your exchange account is frozen or restricted by the platform itself — AML reviews, KYC failures, source-of-funds requests, or sanctions false positives. Fraud Recovery is for when your crypto has been stolen or lost to scams — phishing, SIM-swap attacks, wallet hacks, or investment fraud. If you're unsure which applies, use our comparison guide.
Valken is a Swiss legal practice. Our crypto work is conducted by licensed lawyers, not paralegals or "recovery agents." This means your communications are protected by legal professional privilege, our filings carry legal weight, and we can escalate to court proceedings if exchanges refuse to cooperate. We are not a "we recover your crypto for 10%" service — we charge fixed fees and provide legal services.
No lawyer can guarantee an outcome. What we can guarantee is that your case will be handled by a former FIU investigator who understands exactly how compliance teams build their cases, that your response will be legally sound and properly documented, and that we will pursue every available escalation channel. Our overall success rate is 90%+, but individual outcomes depend on the facts of each case.
Crypto Account Unlock cases start at €399 for simple KYC/identity verification issues and range up to €1,200+ for complex EDD or sanctions screening cases. Crypto Fraud Recovery starts with a free case assessment — we only take cases where we believe recovery is possible, and fees are discussed after the assessment. All pricing is transparent and fixed before work begins.
