The Evidence Is on the Devices. Discreetly Retrieving It Is the Work.

In high-stakes family law matters — contested custody, hidden assets, undisclosed accounts, allegations of misconduct — the dispositive evidence almost always lives on a phone, a laptop, an iCloud backup, or in deleted communications that someone believed were gone for good.

The Forensic Questions We Answer

What the evidence record actually addresses.

Hidden Assets & Undisclosed Accounts

  • Cryptocurrency wallets, exchange account access, and transaction history
  • Brokerage and bank accounts not appearing on financial affidavits
  • Cash-flow patterns inconsistent with declared income
  • Cloud-stored financial records and tax-prep materials
  • Communications with financial planners or shell-entity counsel

Custody & Parental Conduct

  • Deleted messages, calls, and app activity surrounding custody periods
  • Location history (Apple Maps, Google Maps, Find My, app-derived)
  • Photos and videos relevant to allegations of misconduct
  • Communications with third parties material to custody
  • Mobile device activity during agreed parenting time

Communications & Conduct Evidence

  • Recovery of deleted text threads, chat history, call logs
  • Authentication of screenshots offered as evidence
  • Identification of altered, fabricated, or selectively-presented messages
  • Social media content captures with provenance
  • Email and cloud-stored evidence not visible on the device

Asset & Property Disputes

  • Forensic examination of jointly-used devices and accounts
  • Establishing access patterns (who used what, when, from where)
  • Documenting attempts to delete, transfer, or conceal evidence
Discretion Standard

Family law forensics is different — and the discretion standard is different.

Family law matters are personal. Parties and counsel both need a forensic partner who handles devices, communications, and findings with absolute discretion — and who understands that the appearance of overreach can itself become an issue in a contested matter.

We work directly with retained family-law counsel under engagement letters that establish scope, custody handling, and reporting protocols up front. Findings are delivered to counsel — never to the parties directly — and our methodology is designed to be challenged and to hold up.

Why Counsel Retains Us

Court-tested in this kind of matter.

Our experts have provided declarations and live testimony in contested family-court and trust litigation matters. Our forensic methodology — validated tools, documented chain of custody, reproducible analyses — is the same whether the matter is a federal MDL or a contested custody case. The discipline that holds up in one holds up in the other.
