The Prosecution Has a Forensics Expert.

Digital evidence is rarely as straightforward as the prosecution makes it sound. Timestamps can be manipulated. Location data has margins of error. Deleted doesn't always mean gone — and gone doesn't always mean deleted.

More about our approachComprehensive Analysis Across
Every Type of Digital Evidence
From First Call to Final Testimony —
Here's What to Expect
We start with a free consultation to understand what digital evidence is at issue, what the prosecution has alleged, and where the gaps might be.
Devices and data are received under strict chain-of-custody protocols. Forensic images are created before any analysis begins — preserving the original evidence.
We conduct a thorough examination using certified tools, consult with the team for next steps such as how to find missing data or aquiring data the prosecution doesn't have.
We prepare with your team for depositions, Daubert challenges, and trial. On the stand, we communicate complex technical findings in terms a jury can follow.
