Areas of Expertise:
Profile
Our forensic experts are seasoned professionals who have testified numerous times in multiple Federal and State Court venues in both civil and criminal matters ranging from murder and possession of contraband to theft of corporate information and domestic issues such as divorce and child custody.
Computer forensics is the discovery of computer-related evidence and data. This is not the same as "data recovery" such as restoring deleted files or copying files from a backup device, or, using the computer to look at directories, the browser to search for images, documents and other types of files. We also interrogate devices such as cell phones, PDA's, digital cameras and other storage devices to extract data for analysis.
Computer forensics is both an art and a science. Software and hardware tools provide the conduit for an experienced, professional data forensics expert to extract and analyze data. We have invested in the same, powerful software and hardware tools the FBI and other law enforcement agencies use in their criminal cases and thus we are well equipped to provide our clients with state of the art analysis and solid, factual opinions.
