Our Areas of Expertise
Financial and Fraud Investigation
In financial cases the numbers tell the story, point to clues, and often identify those responsible for bad acts. Part of a successful fraud is the ability of criminals to conceal their activity in order to cover their tracks. Often the concealment involves altering or destroying records. This makes the investigator’s ability to source accurate information a critical element in determining what actually transpired and who was involved.
Courtroom Testimony Preparation
Preparing witnesses for testimony is crucial to the success of your case. Whether it’s a fact witness or an expert witness, detailed preparation is key. Depending on your workload and the limited time you may have to prepare your case, your ability to comprehensively prepare numerous witnesses for deposition, grand jury and/or trial, may become unwieldy.
Digital Forensics
Digital forensic examinations are extremely valuable in revealing vital evidence in civil and criminal cases. Investigation often results in the discovery of crucial evidence generated by use of a computer, smartphone, tablet or another device connected to the Internet. Digital evidence may reveal an original unaltered document, compelling timeline information, the true author of a document, GPS (location) data, search history, deleted files and much more.

CyberSecurity
Whether you are at home, driving or just walking around town, most of us are connected to the Internet. That connection represents a door that others may enter without our permission and hack into or steal our data. Personal information may be used to make any one of us the victim of identity theft. Once your identity is compromised, it takes a great deal of time, effort and money to disassociate from the criminal acts committed in your name. Identity theft victims include both individuals as well as corporations and organizations.
