Litigation Counsel, Law Firms and Legal Departments
Litigation turns on whether the digital evidence was preserved properly and whether your expert can defend it under cross examination. GDF preserves the source, narrows the disputed fact, tests the alternatives and puts an examiner on the stand who explains the record plainly. Our experts have testified in federal and state courts, and in COMLAB v. Kal Tire the court found the disputed emails fabricated.

Tell us what is contested, the sources and the deadline. We will outline preservation, examination and expert support on a free call.
Counsel identifies the claim, defense, burden, and legal standard. GDF translates the disputed technical proposition into sources, preservation steps, tests, and deliverables. The protocol states date ranges, custodians, systems, collection depth, search assumptions, access conditions, privacy limits, and how gaps will be handled.
Digital forensics offered in court needs a documented source, authorized collection, custody history, tested method, appropriately bounded opinion, and disclosure record. We build that foundation from the first collection. Assignments can include early technical assessment, eDiscovery data preservation, protocol review, neutral collection, affirmative opinions, rebuttal, demonstratives, deposition, hearing, and trial. Preserved sources, documented methods, visible testing and limits stated before cross examination keep the method ready before anyone files a Frye or Daubert motion.
Coverage includes computer, mobile, email, cloud, database, and media evidence; authenticity, deletion, copying, access, attribution, and timeline disputes; spoliation, preservation, collection, and production method analysis; opposing expert workpaper and result review; and plain language reports, declarations, exhibits, and testimony.
GDF develops the source record, methods, findings and technical explanation.
Bring the disputed fact and the deadline to a senior examiner.
