Most recovery firms publish a number and a percentage. We publish a method. That is less exciting, and more useful when you are deciding whether to spend money.
Confidentiality is part of the service. Clients do not hire a recovery firm so that their loss can become a case study.
The other reason is arithmetic. “Recovered” can mean a judgment, a settlement, an asset frozen, or cash in a client account. Those are not the same thing. Adding them together produces a number that flatters the firm and misleads the client.
When we publish a figure, it will be net of fees, described by category, and tied to a dated matter. Until then, we describe the work.
These are composites drawn from common patterns of work. They are not accounts of specific clients, and they carry no outcome figures.

Six questions worth asking any firm, including this one. The answers should be specific, and they should survive being written down.
A judgment for ten million and ten million in the bank are different facts. Ask which one is being described.
Gross recovery can look large while the client receives much less. A net figure is the only one that matters to the person paying.
A recovery rate without a time frame is not a rate. Ten years and ten months are not comparable.
One large success can hide many failures. Ask for the denominator, not just the numerator.
A marketing page is not an audited account. If a firm claims verification, ask who verified it and what they were given.
Confidentiality is legitimate. But “confidential” should not be the only word attached to every claim a firm makes.
Four commitments. They are deliberately conservative, and they apply to every page on this site.
We distinguish assets identified, assets restrained, judgments, settlements and funds actually received.
Where a figure is given, it is described net of fees and disbursements, with the period it covers.
We do not publish client names, case details or outcomes without written consent.
We do not present a past result as a prediction. Each matter turns on its own evidence and jurisdiction.
We will tell you what the documents support, what they do not, and what an assessment would cost. If the case is not worth pursuing, we will say so.
