Each service below is scoped and documented with defensibility in mind. Engagements typically begin with a confidential intake call to scope the work, define evidence sources, and set expectations for timelines and deliverables.
 

Digital Forensics & Analysis

Digital Forensics & Analysis

Digital forensics is the disciplined examination of digital evidence to answer specific factual questions: what happened, when it happened, who was involved, and what artifacts on a device or in a data set support each conclusion.

Engagements begin with evidence identification and preservation. Work product is built on forensically sound images of original media, captured with hardware write-blockers or vendor-validated acquisition tools and verified by cryptographic hash. From there, analysis is shaped by the questions counsel needs answered. Findings are written in plain English, tied to source artifacts, and prepared with the expectation that they may be challenged.

Typical engagements include:

  • Examination of computers, laptops, servers, tablets, and mobile devices
  • Recovery and analysis of deleted, hidden, or fragmented data
  • Review of user activity, file history, web and browser artifacts, and external-device usage
  • Examination of email, messaging, and cloud-synced records
  • Timeline analysis correlating events across multiple devices and data sources
  • Review of evidence integrity and chain of custody
Mobile Device Forensics

Mobile Device Forensics

Mobile devices are central to most modern investigations. We conduct logical, file-system, and physical extractions of iPhones, Android devices, and tablets, with results validated against multiple sources where possible.

Cellebrite, the industry’s leading mobile forensic platform, is one of the tools used. Analysis covers message threads (including third-party messaging apps), contacts and call logs, app data, photos and media with embedded metadata, browser and search history, app installation and usage timelines, GPS and Wi-Fi location records, deleted and unallocated content, and system-level artifacts such as device unlock events.

Reports are organized around the questions in the case. A request to confirm whether a particular conversation occurred and was deleted is treated differently from a request to reconstruct a user’s whereabouts on a given date. Where the data does not support a particular conclusion, the report says so.

Computer & Media Examination

Computer & Media Examination

Computer and media examinations cover desktops, laptops, servers, external hard drives, USB flash drives, optical media, and a broad range of less common storage including SD cards, embedded controllers, and specialty devices.

Forensic imaging and verification is the foundation: we work from a verified copy of the evidence, leaving the original untouched. Examination addresses user-account activity, logon and logoff history, installed and executed applications, document and file activity, internet and browser artifacts, USB and external-device connections, anti-forensic indicators (file wiping, time-stamp manipulation, encryption containers), and recovery of deleted or partially overwritten content.

Where evidence is physically damaged, our affiliated data recovery operation provides clean-room recovery, including complex RAID, SSD, and chip-off recoveries of devices that other examiners cannot read.

 

Cellular & Location Data Analysis

Cellular & Location Data Analysis

Cellular records and on-device location data are frequently introduced to place a person at — or away from — a particular location at a particular time. Done well, this analysis can be decisive; done poorly, it can mislead a fact-finder.

We analyze warrant returns from AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular, along with on-device location records from iOS and Android devices. Reports explain what cellular records can and cannot show, distinguish carrier-side records from device-side records, identify the limits of cell-tower coverage analysis (including sector and propagation considerations), and present location conclusions in language that counsel and the court can follow.

Where the data is ambiguous, we say so. Where it points clearly in one direction, we explain why.

Expert Witness & Litigation Support

Expert Witness & Litigation Support

We support counsel from intake through trial. The role of an expert is to help the fact-finder understand technical evidence — not to advocate.

Litigation support includes:

  • Written reports formatted for evidentiary use
  • Declarations and affidavits
  • Review of opposing-expert reports
  • Daubert response and methodology critique
  • Deposition preparation and testimony
  • Trial testimony, with demonstrative exhibits where appropriate

Independence is treated as a precondition of the work. Testimony has been provided primarily on behalf of the defense, but the methodology and standards applied do not change with the retaining party.
