A Smartphone Makes A Great Witness

You may not know this, but your cellphone is a little spy.

As you go through your day, your smartphone collects evidence that can be used to recreate your activity. If you take a photo or video, the phone records when and where. All your calls and text messages are logged. Surfing the internet on your phone? Your searches and visited websites are recorded (That’s true even if you are browsing incognito.) GPS data and WiFi connections can pinpoint the places you go.

And you may think deleting it destroys that evidence, but you probably are wrong.

That’s why digital evidence is so powerful.

Cell phones and tablets can provide a remarkably thorough account of the user’s activities – where he’s been, what he’s done, who he’s connected with. Forensic investigators can recover deleted texts, call logs, GPS locations and browsing history to create detailed timelines of conversations, movements and activities. Our experts use cutting-edge tools to recover any data from any mobile device. It all adds up to powerful, indisputable evidence for criminal and civil cases.

Mobile Forensics Can Examine Many Things

• Text messages, including photo messages

• Call logs
• Photos and videos
• Emails
• Chat history
• Deleted or hidden data
• Audio files and voicemail
• Calendar information
• Much more

Are you wondering if your ex is really watching the kids, or out drinking and doing drugs? Smartphone evidence probably will answer that question.

Do you want to know if your spouse is cheating? Check the smartphone — especially the deleted stuff.

Would you like to know where someone really went last Saturday night, and who they’ve been talking to? The smartphone probably can tell you.

If you are embroiled in a civil battle such as a custody dispute or a divorce proceeding, or need evidence for a criminal case, consider whether a smartphone might contain the evidence you need. It probably does.
