Computer Crimes

Federal agents and local police frequently begin investigations by seizing home and business computers. Government forensic examiners then search the computers for incriminating evidence with programs like EnCase or Forensic Toolkit (FTK).

As soon as your home or business computer is seized, you need an attorney who knows the law on computer searches. You may be able to stop the search of the computer or limit the scope of the search.

Our attorneys teach seminars on computer forensics and computer searches. Some of our attorneys have been trained on EnCase and FTK. We know how to prevent a broad search of a computer hard drive. We can suppress evidence found during a search that was not properly executed. We can effectively cross-examine a government forensic examiner. We can identify defenses that an attorney not familiar with computer forensics will simply miss.
