INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES

At Computer Analysts and Recovery Experts, we can search and analyze multiple pieces of media at one time. Many investigations involve multiple hard drives, floppies, zip disks, and other media. Evidence files can be duplicated onto another hard drive and examined by Computer Analysts and Recovery Experts while preserving the integrity of the media for discovery and trial.

Computer evidence is often the deciding factor in a criminal or civil action. Cases involving trade secrets, commercial disputes, misdemeanor and felony crimes can be won or lost solely with the introduction of recovered e-mail and other electronic documentation. If an attempt has been made to delete, erase, or otherwise hide critical evidence, you need a competent data recovery professional from Computer Analysts and Recover Experts.

We recommend that you DO NOT attempt to search for the evidence yourself because this can change important date/ time stamps as well as user information, thus, possibly obstructing the investigation.

PROCEDURES:

  • We will create an exact replica of the hard disk drive or other storage device so the evidence can be evaluated and processed from a forensic evidence file. This guarantees the preservation of the best evidence and eliminates any possible guess work by the computer investigator.
  • Identify leads and computer evidence contained in files and slack space, which can determine the outcome of the case.
  • Document the findings and provide expert witness testimony to help clarify technical computer issues in the litigation process.
  • Deleted data, hidden data, and password-protected data can be retrieved in many instances. The forensic investigators at Computer Analysts and Recovery Experts can find data on a formatted hard drive,deleted e-mail, intentionally altered data and in some cases media that has been physically damaged. The recovered data is then carefully documented, analyzed, and recorded in reports which are presented to the client and/or in litigation.
