Are you current on your MCLE training? If not, we have just what you're looking for. Come to one of our MCLE seminars where you can become more computer forensic savvy while earning your required MCLE credit. All MCLE training is given from a layman's point of view to help you better understand what computer forensics is, and how choosing the right expert to perform this service can make or break your case when the choice is made to settle vs going to court.

Evidence Preservation:
Have you taken the proper steps to ensure the evidence has been preserved? This is probably the most critical and least expensive measure that should be taken; yet it is often the most overlooked. Is your client relying on their IT staff to make a "GHOST" copy of the hard drive? Can the IT staff testify that the "GHOST" copy is an exact bit for bit copy of the original hard drive? Based on our training and experience the answer is probably "no they cannot"?

Using a non-forensic tool to copy your evidence will lead to problems when it comes time to authenticate your evidence preservation measures. Even if you do not think you will ever use computer forensics, remember what is here today will not be here tomorrow without the proper evidence preservation measures being implemented. Our evidence preservation snapshot service will show you how our certified examiners can preserve the evidence using cost effective, court validated techniques.

Expert Witness Services:
Regardless of the type of computer forensic work you have completed, it is vital to have it properly presented in court. If the examiner cannot go into court and explain their findings in a clear and concise manner, the examination is for naught.

Our examiners have qualified as experts in court. Please visit our expert witness page to see examples of how we can help you properly present your case.

Wrongful Termination:
As more and more laws are implemented to protect the employees, the wrongful termination process has and will continue to become a much more complicated process. With the use of more and more technology, companies need to set and keep up to date all of the policies and procedures required to avoid any misguidance when it comes to termination of an employee. You as legal council will be tasked with the burden of keeping up with all the legal aspects required to overcome any challenge regarding termination.

Keep yourself in contact with computer forensic experts in order to implement the appropriate process to avoid wrongful termination lawsuits. If you find yourself involved in a wrongful termination lawsuit and now need to preserve evidence for possible computer forensic analysis, or you simply need an evidence preservation letter to keep the opposing party from destroying evidence, please contact us and we can help.

Intellectual Property:
The protection of intellectual property is becoming more and more challenging due to the fact that technology allows the copying, transferring, destruction and manipulation of intellectual property in many cases without obvious traces. Computer Forensics can help to discover if inappropriate actions were taken by anyone in regards to intellectual property. Intellectual property can now be transmitted across the world in a matter of seconds. This type of activity can certainly leave traces of evidence on the computer.

If you feel you have been a victim of IP theft we can assist you in taking the necessary steps to preserve the evidence, identify misuse of the computer, and assist in providing the necessary evidence to help you return the Intellectual property to your client.

Policy Violations:
When your client has policy violations, have these violations clearly and precisely been communicated to the employee. In the technical field, there are many ways in doing the same thing, can you tell the difference between a human error and an intentional policy violation. Computer forensics can help in determining if there was mal intent on by your client's employee, or simply human error.

Even if you aren't sure whether or not your client's written policies will support their claim, a consultation with DataClues will assist you to determine what evidence may or may not be found on the misused computer. If your client's matter involves a weakness in their current computer policies, we can assist them in a policy review. Recent Case involving Policy Review.
