National Fraud Helpline
National Fraud Helpline are fraud lawyers who help scam victims across the UK recover money lost to fraud, with a head office based in Manchester.
Director and Senior Partner, Martin Richardson, has a proven track record of running a successful large volume litigation law firm while maintaining the highest legal standards and maintaining exemplary client care.
Fellow director Jonathan Hartley divides his time between the Norwich office and Manchester, heading National Fraud Helpline’s news page and leading the firm’s PR and campaigning wing.
They work very closely together as they devise new strategies aimed at leading the fightback against fraud.

Fiona is a fraud lawyer with a masters degree in Legal Studies.
“I chose to help the victims of scams because it is devastating to see the effect of losing money to fraudsters and how this can have not only a financial impact but also an emotional effect. It is alarming how many scams there are and seeing how sophisticated they can be, luring victims into a false sense of security and building up trust with them. This makes it even more satisfying to help recover money lost to fraud. My aim is always to treat clients sympathetically, listen to everything they have to say and try to recover their money as quickly and as hassle free as possible.”
