Digital Forensics

A conversation is more than a screenshot.

We help you preserve and understand text messages and messaging-app evidence. Within an authorized scope, we examine the relevant conversations, attachments, and surrounding records so you can assess more than an isolated screenshot.

Discuss conversation evidence

Start with the phone or other available source.

When a conversation matters to a dispute, the useful question is often broader than the words visible in a screenshot. We identify the device, messaging application, participants and relevant period, then assess a documented collection from the source. Where a physical phone is available, we discuss acquiring and processing its supported data in forensic tools rather than simply reformatting screenshots.

Locate the relevant exchange and its surrounding context.

We review supported conversations with their available attachments, dates and surrounding messages. Participant identifiers, address-book labels and group membership need context; a saved contact name does not independently prove who used an account. We also consider whether the supplied material is a complete exchange, a selected range or a partial record.

Prepare a reviewable export with its basis explained.

We agree the conversation selection, date range and delivery format with you or counsel. Depending on scope, you may receive a readable conversation export, associated attachments and a report or letter explaining the collection and selection. The aim is a traceable record that can be assessed alongside the underlying evidence, not a claim that a polished PDF alone establishes authenticity.

Address questions about edits, gaps and different sources.

Phones, backups, account exports and another participant’s device can contain different records. Where authorized and available, comparisons may help explain discrepancies or corroborate an exchange. Deleted content may be incomplete or unavailable. We explain which sources were examined and which questions remain unresolved rather than interpreting every gap as deliberate deletion.

Plan the examination around the intended use.

Tell us the application, relevant people and dates, the issue in dispute and any court or production deadline. Preserve the phone and original screenshots or exports without editing them. If translation is needed, we agree how it will be attributed and kept distinct from the original records. Admissibility is determined in the applicable legal process, not guaranteed by an extraction or export.
