When the matter turns on the evidence, we find it and we prove it.
Court-admissible forensic analysis across computers, mobile devices, cloud, servers, IoT, and emerging deepfake media — preserved soundly and explained clearly to judges and juries.
Overview
When a matter turns on what a device or dataset actually shows — who took the files, whether a recording is genuine, what really happened on a server — the analysis has to be both technically rigorous and admissible. We recover, preserve, and examine digital evidence across computers, mobile devices, servers, cloud accounts, IoT and other connected systems, and increasingly across AI-generated and manipulated media.
Litigators, in-house counsel, and investigators bring us in for departing-employee and trade-secret matters, for authentication of disputed documents, images, audio, and video, and for sound preservation of cloud and mobile evidence once a litigation hold attaches. Sound preservation is the foundation: evidence that is collected improperly can be excluded no matter how compelling it appears, so our process protects chain of custody and the integrity of the original from the first contact onward.
The work is only as useful as it is understandable. Our forensic examiners are experienced testifying experts who translate complex technical findings into clear narratives for judges, juries, and arbitrators — explaining not just what the evidence shows, but how it was obtained and why the conclusions are reliable.

Frequently asked questions
Can deleted files and messages really be recovered?
Often, yes — but it depends on the device, the operating system, how the data was deleted, and how much activity has occurred since. Deleted material can persist in unallocated space, backups, logs, and synced cloud copies. The single most important factor is acting before the evidence is overwritten, which is why prompt, forensically sound preservation matters so much.
How are documents, images, or recordings authenticated?
Authentication examines an item's metadata, internal structure, and provenance for signs of editing or fabrication, and compares it against known-good references and the surrounding record. With the rise of AI-generated and manipulated media, this increasingly includes analysis for signs of synthetic or deepfake content. The aim is a defensible opinion on whether an item is what it purports to be.
