Hiring a forensic expert to investigate a stolen crypto would just increase your overall costs. Although it might be traced, recovering the money that was stolen is impossible simply due to the append-only nature of blockchain transaction.
No, stolen funds cannot be recovered because bitcoin transactions are irreversible, no forensic expert or investigator can help you recover your stolen funds, that is why you have to take your security as being paramount, and also to check very well before you make a transaction, so you don't send to the wrong address
It goes without saying that bitcoin is pseudonymous, so even if you can track the address of the stealer, if the person is well versed in the network you'll never be able to link it to him or her personally, there are also mixers and coJoin services that makes your attempt at tracking a thief more difficult.
Experts will probably try to convince you that they can do something, don't believe them, they may scam you through that process, they will collect your money, and would never help you recover the funds.
