Digital Forensics Across South Florida

Civil litigation discovery, corporate internal investigations, ransomware and business email compromise response, employee data theft, fraud examination, family and probate disputes involving devices, harassment and stalking matters, romance and investment scams, missing person digital investigations, and rebuttal review of another examiner’s report. We also take law enforcement overflow and second-examination work. If your matter involves a phone, a computer, an account or a network, it is likely in scope.

Yes, and most do. Cloud accounts, email systems, server logs and network evidence are acquired remotely under documented procedure. Physical devices ship to the Boca Raton lab under a signed chain-of-custody form, or we collect them in person anywhere in Palm Beach, Broward or Miami-Dade. The first conversation is always remote. We would rather spend twenty minutes on the phone scoping the matter than send an examiner to the wrong evidence.

Stop using the device. Do not delete anything, do not run a cleaner, do not factory reset, and do not let a well-meaning IT person start looking. Put the phone in airplane mode and leave it charged. If a computer is infected, disconnect it from the network but leave it powered on if you can, because memory can hold evidence that a shutdown destroys. Photograph screens before anything changes. Then call.

It depends on three variables: how many devices, how much storage on each, and whether you need a written report and testimony or only findings. A single phone with a straightforward extraction is commonly a matter of days. A multi-device corporate matter with a formal report runs weeks. Emergency incident response starts the same day. We give you a written scope and timeline before work begins, and we tell you when a deadline is not realistic.

Pricing depends on the number and type of devices, the volume of data, whether cloud or network acquisition is involved, and whether the engagement includes a written expert report, deposition or trial testimony. Single-device consumer examinations sit at the low end. Multi-custodian corporate matters with reporting and testimony sit far higher. We quote in writing after a scoping call, and we will tell you when an examination is unlikely to be worth its cost.
