Who We Are?

We are OFAC attorney

With more than seven years of dedicated practice, our legal team has handled a wide range of OFAC-related issues — from SDN list removal and blocked assets to OFAC license applications, cross-border transactions, and compliance audits. We operate globally and defend clients at all stages of the sanctions process: pre-investigation, during enforcement, and in proactive compliance structuring.

We know how complex and intimidating it can be to receive a notice from OFAC or discover that your account has been blocked. In some cases, the consequences of sanctions enforcement are no less serious than criminal charges. Our mission is to help clients navigate these risks and protect their rights with clarity, confidence, and competence.

Our Focus

We work across jurisdictions and regulatory systems to support clients in high-stakes legal matters involving:

OFAC Sanctions Programs (Iran, Russia, Cuba, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela, Turkey, Saudi Arabia)
Blocked assets and frozen transactions in U.S. and foreign banks
SDN List removal and filing petitions with OFAC and the CCF
OFAC License applications for financial transfers, humanitarian aid, or business exemptions
FinCEN compliance, subpoena responses, and investigations involving suspicious activity reports
International fund transfers to and from Iran or other sanctioned countries
Legal support for cryptocurrency transactions under U.S. regulations
OFAC-related litigation and negotiation with enforcement authorities

We understand the importance of providing fast, effective legal support when your assets, freedom, or business operations are at risk. Our attorneys combine legal precision with strategic thinking and deep experience in financial law.

Our Mission

We are here to protect our clients from overreach, errors, and abuse in the sanctions system. Our work is guided by three principles:

Expertise in financial and regulatory law
Integrity in every action and decision
Dedication to each client’s outcome

“Compliance is not just a requirement — it’s protection, power, and opportunity.” — Dr. Anatoliy Yarovyi

My assets were frozen due to alleged connections with Saudi Arabia

My assets were frozen due to alleged connections with Saudi Arabia, even though I was only working with contractors there. It took me a long time to find someone who could help. I booked a consultation on Ofacblockedfundslawyers, and they explained which documents I needed to submit. The issue was eventually resolved, but it took months. I’d recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.

I tried to pay for services in Europe, but my transaction was blocked due to

I tried to pay for services in Europe, but my transaction was blocked due to potential sanctions. I searched for answers and found this service. The site had a lot of useful details, so I booked a consultation. The lawyers helped me justify the legality of the transaction, and the bank finally approved it. Without their help, this could have dragged on for much longer.

Tried opening a US bank account but got denied due to an OFAC check

Tried opening a US bank account but got denied due to an OFAC check. I had never been on any list, but apparently, one of my business partners was flagged. Ofacblockedfundslawyers helped me prepare a clarification letter. It took longer than expected, but eventually, I got my account approved.

I was added to the OFAC Venezuela list, even though I had no political connections

I was added to the OFAC Venezuela list, even though I had no political connections. The bank closed my accounts and canceled my transfers. A friend told me about this site. The consultation helped me understand how to file a removal request. The process was long, but they finally resolved it. OFAC takes forever to respond, but the lawyers did their job well.

Tried to transfer money from the US to Turkey, but banks kept blocking

Tried to transfer money from the US to Turkey, but banks kept blocking it due to OFAC sanctions. No clear answers from them, just “internal policies.” Found this site, got a consultation, and the lawyers helped me obtain a license. Took longer than I hoped, but in the end, the transfer went through.

When I found out my name was on the SDN list

When I found out my name was on the SDN list, I immediately started looking for legal help because my bank accounts were blocked and transfers stopped—total shock. Friends recommended Ofacblockedfundslawyers. The consultation was straight to the point; they explained which documents were needed and filed a removal request. The process took a few months, but in the end, I was removed from the list. If you’re in the same situation, don’t wait.

Reporting the truth shouldn’t be a crime, but I found myself facing espionage charges. That’s when Interpol Law Firm stepped in. Their commitment to press freedom wasn’t just talk; they battled fiercely against the Red Notice, giving me back my voice.

After being wrongly accused of…

After being wrongly accused of fraudulent misappropriation, not only was I facing arrest, but my assets were frozen, and banks refused to cooperate. Interpol Lawyers stepped in, navigating the complex international laws, and ensured my assets were released. Their expertise is second to none!

Trying to access Interpol’s database…

Trying to access Interpol’s database for clarity on a notice was daunting. Interpol Lawyers adeptly navigated the process, advocating for my rights every step of the way. With their assistance, the confusion was cleared.

Standing up for women’s rights in Saudi Arabia is risky. I knew a Red Notice could be looming. Interpol Law Firm didn’t just wait for the storm; they built a fortress. Their proactive defense was a beacon of hope in the fight for human rights.

Never thought I’d be targeted with a Red Notice for my advocacy in Russia. But when that nightmare becamereality, the Collegium was there. They didn’t just dispute the charges; they championed my rights, battling against what was clearly discrimination. I am highly grateful to them for their professionalism and dedication to their cause.
