Attorney Services
Our staff can assist with any litigation or case where a computer was used to store any type of electronic documents. This includes documents, spreadsheets, databases, internet history, photos and any other type of computerized information.
Often files are deleted when a lawsuit is on the horizon. Those deleted files can be restored as long as they have not been overwritten. We can assist you in documenting all relevant files on the computer and present the information in a variety of formats. All files can be saved and stored off to a CD or DVD depending on the size of the files. If the files exceed the size of a DVD we can also put the files on a hard drive at your request.
We employ proven techniques for recovering passwords. If a password is lost or forgotten we can help.
Let us help to ensure that you get all the information from the computer during discovery. Often information is intentionally deleted or hidden to conceal assets. Our staff can forensically examine the computer to verify you get the most for your client.
The possibilities are not limited to your clients. Our trained staff can also assist with internal investigations.
When it comes time to change out your computer equipment we can sanitize your computers to prevent your data from being recovered. Our sanitizing technique meets Department of Defense (DoD 5220.22-M) standard for approval.
