Data Recovery for Evidence
When a crime has been committed, the data and “meta-data” in files can be vital in building a solid foundation for a case, as much of today’s civil litigation evidence can be derived from computers.
Recovery is not simply a matter of retrieving lost data in any way possible. To be admissible in court, certain procedures must be followed. If these procedures are not followed, there is a risk of contaminating the evidence and rendering it useless.
Using our years of investigative knowledge and integrity-oriented approach, the McDonald & Associates team can serve clients far better than other IT companies.

What is Digital Forensics?
Digital Forensics is the process of recovering and analyzing data from an electronic device. Endless amounts of sensitive data and information are contained in home computers, laptops, phones and even GPS units.
What is in a digital file?
Digital files are more than just the information we see when we open it on our devices. The file also contains its own history.
When looking into its roots (meta-data) you can see:
- The date the file was made
- How many versions of the file exists
- Where and when the file has traveled
- Who else has opened it
Using court-recognized software, our team of forensic investigators can recover this data and produce it as evidence alongside our expert testimony.
Computer forensics investigation should not be confused with the basic type of searches conducted by ordinary computer consultants. The McDonald & Associates Digital Forensics & Security computer forensics team locates and reconstructs each file or fragment to provide as evidence.
