Welcome to ComputerForensicsDigest.com
A Legal Resource for Attorneys, Law Enforcement, and the Public
Computer forensics is a process for identifying and recovering potentially relevant evidence from electronic devices (hard drives, flash drives, smartphones, etc.), including data that may have been accidentally or intentionally deleted. It is rapidly becoming a multi-billion dollar industry, and is an increasingly important consideration in nearly every type of litigation, including:
- Criminal law;
- Domestic relations;
- Corporate litigation;
- Labor law; and
- Intellectual property.
I have provided computer forensic services and expert consultation to attorneys, organizations, and government agencies for the past decade, in a wide variety of cases: domestic disputes, stalking, embezzlement, municipal zoning, obscenity, child pornography, and murder.
In addition to my forensic services, I am also available to lecture on the law of computer forensics, the impact of emerging technologies, and the privacy implications of computer forensics and electronic discovery. Please contact me if you would like additional information about my services.
