The CFE, Mr Dan James, is well recognized in Texas for his groundbreaking services with an arsenal of forensic tools that serve to provide information based on which clients and attorneys can take informed decisions.

ICFECI

specializes in difficult computer/cell phone cases. A dedicated computer forensics examiner can help his clients and their attorneys in finding out if the computer data is relevant to the case and in retrieving such data. Apart from finding and analyzing data the examiner must also be conversant with legal matters and should be able to prepare reports and present evidence as well as testimony that stand up in court.


Attorneys have something to work on if there is a paper trail or physical evidence. However, if the main evidence is suspected to be hidden in a computer then it is best that he and his client get in touch with an ICFECI to find data and analyze it in a way that can be used in the ongoing legal matter. ICFECI is the default choice not only because of their expertise in computer forensics but also because ICFECI can provide strategic consultancy, respond to interrogations, submit testimony and reports, which


means he must also be an expert witness in addition to being expert in computer forensics examination. Question them and you will find they are knowledgeable about the Federal Rules of evidence, chain of custody and related matters. With knowledge and experience, ICFECI knows how to present the case in writing and also how to explain difficult technical matters in simple terms in a way that is understood by the judge and jury.
