Computer Forensics Services for Attorneys and Law Firms

If your opponent’s client uses a computer or if the organization you represent uses computers, you need computer forensics. The computer has invaded our very existence, become a part of our lives, and is an integral part of almost every case from complex litigation and class actions to contract disputes and sexual harassment. GDF has consistently helped law firms substantially reduce costs of electronic discovery, win cases and quantify damages.


Computer forensics also differs from Electronic Discovery (eDiscovery), as artifacts are usually obtained from computer media that is requested during discovery or obtained through a court order or warrant. Computer forensics analysis is the process of finding evidence that is not readily available and preserving that evidence for admissibility and use in court.

This means not only recovering deleted files (documents, graphics, etc.), but also searching the slack and unallocated space on the hard drive—places where a plethora of evidence regularly resides.

It is tracing artifacts—those tidbits of data left behind by the operating system—for clues of what the computer has been used for, and more importantly, knowing how to find the artifacts and evaluating the value of the information.

Forensic exams allow the processing of hidden files—files that are not visible or accessible to the user—that contain past usage information. It is reconstructing and analyzing the date codes for each file—determining when each file was created, last modified, last accessed and when deleted.

Computer forensics is being able to run a string-search for email, when no email client is obvious. An analysis will reveal Internet usage and recover data, even after the computer has been defragged and/or formatted. It is using industry-standard methodology, and supplying you with a concise, clearly written report.
