Legality
All work is done in a completely legal and court accepted
manner using proper forensic techniques and is admissible in
US courts of law. Our experts are highly experienced,
licensed and certified to perform these services.
Texas laws require any computer forensics performed in Texas
that are to be used in legal proceedings in Texas must be
done by either a Licensed Private Investigator or Government
Employee (i.e. Law Enforcement Technician). Many accounting
and IT companies offer these services, but they cannot be
properly used in Texas court cases. Our experts have
frequently consulted on cases of this manner and managed to
get the opposition's "computer forensics" excluded from
court.
Also Federal & Texas law require that the person
requesting the forensics be performed (or the client of the
attorney doing the request) have legitimate access and legal
rights to the computer or cellphone.
Case Study
The client, an industrial manufacturer, had two high level
employees leave and start their own competing company,
stealing clients and suspected of stealing confidential
company information. Our expert did a forensic analysis of
the company computers the ex-employees had utilized. We not
only found the expected evidence including lists of client
contact info being emailed out via free web mail services
(like Yahoo), but we also found evidence that shortly before
the defendants quit, they did massive downloads of client
info and proprietary data and plans to an external device
like a thumb drive.
But that's not the end of it. During the course of the
forensic examination several damning documents were
revealed, including documents for the forming of their new
company. Yes, these defendants used their former employer's
computers and time to start their new company!
Needless to say, when presented with all the evidence the
judge issued an injunction against the defendants and they
quickly settled the case.
