Frequently Asked Questions

Is deleted data recoverable?

Yes—often. Depending on the device, storage format, and user activity, deleted data such as files, messages, and logs can often be recovered using forensic tools. This includes data that may no longer be visible to users but still exists in unallocated space or system artifacts.

Can you determine who accessed or sent a file?

Yes. We analyze system logs, metadata, and access timestamps to trace user activity. In many cases, we can identify which user account accessed, modified, or transferred a file—and when that activity occurred.

Are your reports admissible in court?

Yes. All forensic imaging, analysis, and reporting follow strict legal and evidentiary standards, including chain of custody protocols and cryptographic validation. Our reports are formatted for legal proceedings and have been accepted in civil, criminal, and regulatory cases.

How long does an investigation take?

It depends on the case complexity, volume of data, and urgency. We provide clear time estimates after the initial consultation.

Do you work with individuals or just law firms and corporations?

We work with both. While many clients are attorneys, corporate legal teams, and investigators, we also support private individuals in sensitive matters like family law, employee disputes, and personal investigations.
