 Computer
Forensics Services and Expert Witness Services
We assist lawyers, their clients and businesses to acquire and analyze digital
data for purposes of litigation or to improve corporate security
regarding information technology.
With 35 years experience working with computers, we have a
broad-based and in-depth knowledge of information technology and
computer forensics. We can analyze data from personal
computers, notebooks and servers, including web servers, mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets and many of the newer digital devices.
Our extensive business experience consulting on computer issues
means we are prepared to dive beneath the bits and bytes to first
present the straight facts and then explain what they
really mean.
 We
excel at the interpretation of computer forensic digital data. Our expert report
will explain our findings in understandable
English, with a minimum of technical mumbo-jumbo. We can also
prepare graphs, charts and other visual aids to highlight our
findings so they are easily understood by judges and other
non-computer experts. The computer forensics expert
reports and visual aids we create may be used in affidavits to
support litigation.
We are familiar with the Rules of Civil Procedure relating to the Duty of Expert and the information required to be included in an expert report to ensure our written report will meet the standards demanded by Ontario courts.
Of course, we also participate in discoveries and trials to
provide expert witness testimony that supports our professional opinion as expressed in our written reports.
