Our Services
eDiscovery
In modern litigation, the volume of digital data involved in a case can be completely overwhelming. Emails, documents, spreadsheets, and databases are often scattered across multiple computers, corporate networks, cell phones, and cloud accounts.
As a dedicated digital forensic expert, I provide smooth, efficient eDiscovery support that helps attorneys identify, protect, gather, and review digital evidence. From your early case assessment all the way through producing documents for court, Veritas Forensic Consulting ensures your critical evidence is completely accounted for, safely handled, and legally defensible.
Why You Need a Dedicated eDiscovery Professional
Managing large amounts of electronic data requires a precise strategy. If you handle digital records incorrectly, you risk missing vital files, blowing through your budget on messy data, or getting evidence thrown out of court.
Targeted Evidence Collection
I help you focus only on what matters, saving you from wasting time and money sorting through thousands of irrelevant employee files.
Flawless Data Integrity
I gather data using strict forensic standards, ensuring that metadata (like dates, times, and authorship) remains completely untouched and authentic.
Courtroom-Ready Production
Your gathered data is organized and delivered in clean, standard formats that match exact legal requirements, making it ready for immediate review and production.
What I Can Recover From Mobile Devices
1. Identifying & Locating Evidence
I work with your legal team to map out where the critical data lives. Whether it is sitting on a physical office computer, a remote employee’s laptop, or a corporate cloud account, I identify who owns the data (the custodians) and where it is hiding.
2. Defensible Electronic Data Collection
Using specialized tools, I safely extract Electronically Stored Information (ESI) without altering a single file. This process captures emails, financial spreadsheets, text records, and network databases while keeping a strict, legal chain of custody.
3. Early Case Assessment & Filtering
Before you pay to process millions of files, I filter the data by specific dates, keywords, and file types. This narrows down the mountain of information to the exact files relevant to your case, significantly reducing your legal review costs.
4. Data Processing & Review Support
I format and organize the gathered data so it can be easily uploaded into standard legal review platforms. This ensures your legal team can read, tag, and analyze the documents without technical hiccups.
Managing electronic evidence shouldn’t be a guessing game. I handle the technical backend so you can focus entirely on your legal strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between computer forensics and eDiscovery?
Computer forensics focuses on digging deep into a device to find hidden, altered, or deleted data. eDiscovery support focuses on identifying, collecting, and organizing large volumes of visible, active electronic data (like thousands of company emails or spreadsheets) across an entire organization so it can be systematically reviewed and used in a lawsuit.
What is ESI in a legal case?
ESI stands for Electronically Stored Information. It refers to any data that is created, altered, or stored in a digital format. This includes emails, text messages, PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, photos, and even server logs that could be relevant to a legal matter.
Why shouldn't we just have employees copy their own files onto a thumb drive?
When a regular user copies or moves a file, the computer automatically changes the file’s metadata—such as the “Date Modified” or “Last Accessed” stamp. This ruins the integrity of the evidence. A professional cyber forensic consultant collects the data using “write-blocking” technology that guarantees the files remain identical to the originals, making them legally bulletproof.
Can you help us prepare search terms for a document request?
Yes. I provide litigation support services to help attorneys craft precise search terms, date ranges, and filtering criteria. This prevents you from receiving a useless “data dump” from the opposing side and ensures your own production is accurate and affordable.
