frequently asked questions

Is deleted data really recoverable?

Yes - deleted data is often recoverable with advanced digital forensic tools and techniques. At Black Dog Forensics, we use industry-leading software and hardware to extract deleted files, fragments, and metadata from hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), mobile devices, and cloud accounts. Even when files are no longer visible to the user, remnants may exist in unallocated disk space or system caches. Our data recovery services are used in civil litigation, criminal investigations, and corporate audits—always preserving chain of custody to ensure court-admissible evidence.

Can you tell who accessed a file or sent an email?

Absolutely. Using user activity analysis, system log examination, and email metadata forensics, our experts can identify which user accounts accessed specific files, when the access occurred, and how the data was handled (viewed, modified, copied, or emailed). We analyze IP addresses, timestamps, and forensic artifacts to build a timeline of digital behavior, helping legal teams and investigators confirm or challenge allegations in civil, criminal, or corporate matters.

Are your findings admissible in court?

Yes. All of our digital forensic investigations follow rigorous protocols for evidence preservation, forensic imaging, and chain of custody—ensuring full compliance with legal admissibility standards in both civil and criminal courts. We provide court-ready forensic reports, sworn affidavits, and expert testimony that withstand cross-examination. Whether for a criminal defense, corporate dispute, or internal compliance matter, our findings are crafted to support defensible legal outcomes.

How long does an investigation take?

The timeline depends on the scope, complexity, and volume of data involved. Basic digital forensics investigations may take a few days, while in-depth analyses involving multiple devices, deleted data recovery, or cloud-based forensics could take 1–3 weeks or longer. For urgent matters—such as data breaches, court deadlines, or internal emergencies—our team offers rapid response services and can begin processing evidence within hours. We’ll provide a clear timeline after your free consultation, tailored to your case’s unique requirements.

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

We work with all types of clients—individuals, attorneys, law firms, corporations, and government agencies. Whether you're facing a family law dispute, investigating cyber harassment, navigating a business fraud case, or preparing for litigation, our services are tailored to meet your specific needs. We bring the same level of precision, discretion, and legal insight to personal matters as we do to complex corporate investigations.
