Data discovery and forensic analysis.
The process of discovery and preservation makes the difference between conviction and exoneration. Each device, image, app, and account has a story to preserve in today’s interconnected world.
Every case needs a strategy.
We’re unbeholden and have served both sides.
The digital world is continually evolving and we’re here to provide the latest advances to you and your client. Every case needs a strategy for discovery, testimony, and cross-examination.
We work with attorneys to provide cutting-edge representation. We’re unbeholden and have served both sides, so we know what to look for and how to prepare for what the other side will likely do.
We work with the chain of custody and with everybody in the chain of events, from those who are first on scene to those who leave the courthouse last.
You need a discovery expert who is:
- Unbiased and unbeholden to party types, with an evenly balanced history representing defendant and petitioner
- Intimate knowledge of both sides’ strengths and weaknesses
- Experienced with consulting and delivering expert testimony on the stand
How forensic engagements start
How do I become a client of Utah Data Recovery® for digital forensics, expert witness testimony, or private investigative work?
We require all new or returning clients to fill out a form 3, also known as a “request for new digital forensics, expert witness and private investigative services” on a case-by-case basis. Call (435) 557-3232 and we will send you form 3. Digital forensics involves many variables and every situation is unique. Therefore, upon filling out the required fields, questionnaire, and signing the agreement on the form 3, a computer forensics analyst will contact you to arrange a consultation meeting to discuss the details. If applicable, it is advised that legal counsel be present. The purpose of the meeting will be to ascertain the details of the situation, what we are investigating, or the strategy that may be required for legal proceedings. Digital forensics is similar to legal work. A minimum deposit will be required up-front which is non-refundable. This deposit covers the initial investigative work or discovery as well as any data acquisition fees or forensic grade images of devices that may be in question. Whether for civil or criminal purposes, we do not accept custody of any digital evidence or devices containing digital evidence until we have received and signed a chain of custody letter. If a chain of custody letter has not been established, we will provide one known as a form 5. Furthermore, we do not accept any criminal evidence, digital contraband, or devices containing criminal evidence unless authorized by a court on authority of the state with a signed protective order.
