Frustrated Mt Gox

My son deposited 42 BTC at MtGox in 2012 and subsequently became disabled. We are now caring for him and started to communicate with Gox last year.

They told us we missed the filing deadline, but not to worry… “there’s only dust left in the account”. No accounting, no detailed explanation as a bank would do.

Now we finally get his old email back and come to find some Gox confirmations with block chain address references, but not all the deposits have email confirmations. The address was swept clean after each deposit. There’s only 2 email withdrawal confirms, and those are prior to actual deposits into the blockchain address. I am convinced Gox’s ledger balance is wrong.

My son who is now disabled did not have access to his email account and never was aware of the restructuring. Even if he would have received legal notices, he did not have the mental capacity to understand it.

I’ve tried to convey all these things to Mt Gox, but their response is basically “sorry, we can’t do anything after the deadline, go see a lawyer”

Are there Mt Gox experienced lawyers that work on a contingent basis. We don’t have the means to hire an hourly Japanese lawyer.
