New York & New Jersey Crypto Currency Lawyer

Crypto Scam Legal Services

Falling victim to a cryptocurrency scam can be devastating. Scams range from fake investment schemes and fraudulent exchanges to phishing, rug pulls, and social-engineering attacks. Our role is to manage the entire recovery process — from investigation through potential fund return — while ensuring every step complies with state, federal, and financial regulations.

We coordinate with independent blockchain investigators to trace stolen funds, identify responsible parties, and prepare findings that can be used in civil or criminal actions. Our attorneys then guide the legal process, preserving evidence, handling communication with exchanges, and advising on how recovered assets can be safely and lawfully returned.

Business and Contractual Crypto Transactions

For businesses and investors working with cryptocurrency, clarity in contracts and deal structure is essential. We draft, review, and negotiate agreements that involve digital assets, tokenized securities, or blockchain-based products. Whether you’re entering a partnership, licensing digital IP, or raising capital through a tokenized offering, we help ensure your agreements comply with applicable New Jersey, New York, and federal laws.

We also advise on smart-contract design and risk management. While smart contracts are self-executing, they exist within a broader legal framework. Our role is to make sure your automated agreements align with traditional contract principles and meet enforceability standards recognized by U.S. courts.

Crypto Payments & Regulatory Compliance

Many businesses now accept crypto as payment for goods and services, but few understand the legal implications. We help businesses structure crypto payment systems that are compliant with both federal and state financial regulations. Our guidance covers everything from AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) obligations to recordkeeping, reporting, and sales tax considerations.

We also assist clients who process payments through exchanges or custodial wallets, ensuring that terms of service, refund policies, and transaction tracking mechanisms are designed to meet consumer protection standards. Our goal is to help businesses confidently accept cryptocurrency while minimizing exposure to regulatory risk.

Digital Asset Management & Planning

Beyond trading and investment, digital assets are now part of everyday financial life. We assist individuals and businesses in developing legally sound strategies for holding, transferring, and managing cryptocurrencies and NFTs. We also help integrate digital assets into estate plans, trusts, and business succession structures.

Our firm works with clients to document private key custody, designate fiduciaries, and comply with New York and New Jersey laws governing digital property rights. From wallet management to regulatory filings, we ensure that digital assets are properly recognized, protected, and transferred when needed.

Tax and Reporting Implications

Every crypto transaction has potential tax consequences. Whether you are recovering stolen assets, realizing gains, or making payments in cryptocurrency, understanding how these activities are taxed is critical. We coordinate with tax professionals to clarify your obligations and help prepare documentation for state and federal reporting.

Our services include guidance on loss carry-forwards, capital gains recognition, and reporting foreign-held digital assets. For clients who recover funds from scams, we ensure that the return process is properly documented to minimize future disputes with tax authorities.
