Computer forensic evidence has proven to be worth its weight in gold in civil, criminal, and Federal courtrooms across the globe. What makes this form of evidence so unique is that it frequently serves as "the smoking gun" by providing a storehouse of historical evidence.Once the Computer Forensic Investigator has acquired the electronic evidence the analysis phase begins. During this process the investigator utilizes special forensic software to sift through the billions of bytes of information contained on the hard drive.
Many people are under the impression that once they delete a file from their computer it is gone forever. On the contrary, our senior Computer Forensic Investigator has recovered history files dating back over 10 years.
The bottom line is that computer forensics is a legitimate and powerful resource during litigation. In divorce and custody cases it is used to prove infidelity. In criminal cases it helps convict child pornographers, predators, and high tech criminals. In tort cases it can identify a cheating business partner or accountant. >Read More About Computer Forensics
