What This Service Addresses

Evidentiary Questions
This Examination Answers

What files existed on a device, and when were they created, accessed, modified, or deleted? What did a user do on a system and in what sequence? Were communications authentic or altered? What data was copied, moved, or transmitted — and where did it go?

These are the questions digital forensic examination is built to address. Each engagement begins with defining which questions matter for your matter, so the examination is scoped to what is actually at issue.

What You Receive

Examination Deliverables

A written examination report documenting methodology, findings, and opinions — written for both technical reviewers and lay audiences, meeting court disclosure requirements.

Findings are expressed in terms of what the evidence supports, what it does not support, and where the limits of examination lie. Availability for deposition and trial testimony is included in engagement scope.

Scope & Fees
$300
Per hour · Written scope · Budget approval required

A written scope of work and budget estimate is provided before any billable work begins. You approve the scope and budget in writing before examination starts. No subscription. No retainer required for initial consultation.

Limitations: Examination findings are tied to what the evidence actually shows. Some questions cannot be answered from digital evidence alone — where that is the case, it will be stated clearly. Original devices or properly documented forensic copies are required for full examination. Heavily damaged, encrypted, or wiped media may limit the scope of recoverable findings.
