Digital Forensics & Litigation Support for Attorneys

Digital evidence can become a critical component of civil, family law, corporate, and other legal matters. CAER works with attorneys to assist with the preservation, examination, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of electronically stored information and other digital evidence.

Digital Forensics Support for Legal Matters

CAER can support counsel at multiple stages of a matter involving digital evidence, including:

  • Consultation regarding potential sources of digital evidence
  • Assistance identifying devices, accounts, records, and other potential evidence sources
  • Forensic preservation and acquisition of supported devices and media
  • Analysis of mobile devices, computers, communications, files, location information, and other digital evidence
  • Clear reporting and explanation of technical findings
  • Maps, timelines, and other visualizations when appropriate

Assistance With Legal Process and Evidence Requests

In some matters, the most important first step is identifying what records or data may exist and how those records should be requested.

  • CAER can help counsel identify categories of digital evidence that may be relevant to the issues in a matter
  • When appropriate, CAER can assist with drafting technical language for subpoenas, preservation requests, or other legal process designed to obtain relevant digital records
  • After records are received, CAER can analyze and explain the data provided
  • CAER does not represent that it obtains provider or third-party records on the client's behalf unless separately authorized and legally permitted

Making Complex Digital Evidence Understandable

Digital evidence can be technically dense. CAER's role includes translating the relevant findings into information that can be understood and used by counsel.

  • Explain what the available evidence shows and what it does not show
  • Identify important timestamps, communications, activity, and relationships within the evidence
  • Assist counsel with understanding technical terminology and limitations
  • Prepare reports, demonstrative materials, timelines, or other presentation aids as appropriate
