What is electronic evidence?

Electronic data includes any record, file, e-mail, program, internet session, and other imprint on a computer storage device. Such as a laptop, PDA, cell phone or any other type of electronic storage device. Because of the almost limitless application of computers in our society, electronic evidence takes many forms. It can encompass sensitive word processing documents, personnel records, customer lists, financial information, e-mail routed via the internet and local intranets, electronic scheduling systems, computer operation logs, digital video and voice mail transcriptions, whether or not they are transferred to a printed page.

Did you know that in many cases "deleted" evidence that is needed to make or break a case is still on the hard drive? Our experts can safely enter any microcomputer system, network, or data storage device to recover evidence and determine whether it has been tampered with, deleted, or damaged. Depending on your particular situation, our experts can search for specific data (such as phrases, files, numbers, or keywords), analyze and determine what different file dates may mean, or verify illegal use of proprietary information.


I have a friend who knows a lot about computers, why shouldn't I let him/her conduct the examination?


Although they may have a considerable amount of knowledge and experience with computers, maybe even data recovery, it's unlikely they have the required knowledge of the forensic procedures to find all the evidence, protect the data, and ensure the admissibility of evidence in civil or criminal trials. We have the training, experience, and tools to conduct a thorough examination of computer data and are able to interpret what we find.



I've hired a Private Investigator. Can't he/she examine the computers for me?

While there are many qualified Private Investigators, the examination of computers is a specialty skill. There are many specialties in Private Investigation; just because an investigator has excellent credentials for conducting domestic investigations does not mean that they are qualified to conduct a computer investigation. Using our expertise and forensic tools, we can recover evidence that others would not even know existed.

"We see criminals use computers in one of three ways: First, computers are sometimes targeted for theft or destruction of their stored data… Second, computers are used as tools to facilitate traditional offenses… Third, computers are used to store evidence"

Janet Reno,
U.S. Attorney General,
Oct 28, 1996
