Our
Services
Why should you select us as your Computer
Forensics or Computer Expert Witness services? Since
1984, we have been recognized as "scientific subject-matter
experts" in the area of computer forensics, computer crime
investigation and Expert Witness Testimony.
We use the similar tools, if not superior in nature, that are
employed by most Federal, State and Local Government law-enforcement
agencies when conducting an incident response or
an investigation. Our experience includes matters
pertaining to E-mail Discovery, Electronic Discovery, Child Custody,
Spousal Support, Computer Crime, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and e-mail
discovery.
Questions to ask any Expert you will consider
retaining:
1.
How many years of Information Technology and Forensics
experience does the individual have? (We have 23 years of
"hard" / 30 years of "soft" computer systems / computer
forensics experience.) Our systems experience goes back to the
days of the Litton Mellonics product line, TRS-80, DEC-10, DEC
Rainbow 100, Timex Sinclair, Commodore 64 and Xerox Computing
Systems Equipment. (Yes, there is an ATT 6300 from 1985,
on the corner table)
2.
Why do they perform these services? (We try to "level" the
playing field, considering the number of self-professed "experts"
that are performing these services.)
3.
Do they publish their rates / fee schedule? (We publish our
rates and associated fees.)
4.
How much is the retainer? (Ours is
$4,000)
5.
What's the difference in specializations with computer expert
witnesses? Among
the services offered by "Forensic Experts," there are two very
distinct subject areas that every person who needs such a service
should be aware of: Electronic Evidentiary Recovery
and Computer Forensics.
Electronic
Evidentiary Recovery, known also as e-discovery, requires the
proper tools and knowledge to meet the Court's criteria, whereas
Computer Forensics is simply the application of
computer investigation and analysis techniques in the interests of
determining potential legal evidence. Generally speaking, most
people who are involved in Computer Forensics,
haven't a clue about or the tools for Electronic
Evidentiary Recovery. At
ComputerLegalExperts.com, we take
it three steps further: We have a background
into how "The Law" functions, an educational and training background
which enables us to keep counsel and yourself informed and
we pride ourselves on being a "one-stop shop" for
your needs. We
take our Client's claims very seriously and approach each matter in
a tailored manner, since each case is unique and has its own set of
dynamics. Since we are an independent organization, combined
with our thoroughness for detail, we deliver hard facts, evidence
and case law, to the court which not only substantiates the
scientific aspects of your matter, but addresses the legal ones as
well.
ComputerLegalExperts.com
uses a proprietary methodology that is considered by the courts to
be among the generally accepted practices of data acquisition and
evidentiary presentation and supports the current and pending rules
of the Federal Rules of Evidence and Federal Civil Judicial
Procedure and Rules for digital data discovery and
admission.
Evidence
may be sought in a wide range of computer crime or misuse, including
but not limited to theft of trade secrets, theft of or destruction
of services, intellectual property and fraud. At
ComputerLegalExperts.com, we draw upon an array of methods
for discovering data; child pornography, password
decryption, theft or destruction of services, theft of trade
secrets / intellectual property, hidden assets and fraud. ComputerLegalExperts.com
also has the capability to discover data that resides in a computer
system or recovering deleted, encrypted or damaged file information.
Any or all of this information may help during discovery,
depositions or at the time of trial. We can examine hard
drives, data cards or other media for evidentiary purposes and even
have the ability to decrypt most password protected programs,
spreadsheets, documents, databases or data compression files.
We have the ability to support counsel in the obtaining of
and the execution of writs and subpoenas, prior to
trial. 
Computer Forensics and Electronic
Discovery
ComputerLegalExperts.com are adamant in the
prevention of the spoliation of evidence and take extra care and
precautions to ensure that the data that is "mirror-imaged" is
secure and safe. We can examine "mirror-imaged" hard drives
for evidentiary purposes and even have the ability to decrypt most
password protected programs, spreadsheets, documents, databases or
data compression files. We will support counsel in the
obtaining of and the execution of writs and
subpoenas.
Expert
Testimony
The one thing that we
have learned is that the "key" to the lock of the law is not only
honesty and integrity, it is credibility. The ability to
explain "computer-ese" to the layman, counsel and the
jurist is key to having an expert testify, but this is useless
without the element of credibility. Although we live in a
computer age, members of a jury or jurists themselves, may not be
familiar with these tools and we act as an interface between the
technical and the real world.
Trial
Consultation
As Trial
Consultants, we examine the data that has been acquired and make
recommendations as to other areas that may be supportive to the
litigant, but have not been exercised. Our services
includes looking at trial strategy, but we believe the "devil is in
the details."
Pre-Litigation Consultation or an Independent Second
Opinion
Before the litigation
process ensues, the ability to give good advice to a client is
imperative. Clients, who have been wronged, seek legal
advice. We do not provide legal advice, but
merely substantiate the facts and help manage expectations
based upon the
evidence.
Digital
Discovery and Data Recovery
ComputerLegalExperts.com has the ability to recover
data, for evidentiary purposes. We literally will use
"Space-Age" and "Bleeding-Edge" technologies, for password
decryption and use accepted standards processes and procedures
in order to secure the data for trial.
