Digital Forensic Services Built for the Courtroom
Electronic evidence now decides cases. MWV works with you through the entire matter, from preservation and extraction to analysis, exhibits, and testimony, so nothing on a device is overlooked or misread.
01Cellular Forensics
Today’s smartphones are personal computers first and telephones second. We extract and analyze iOS and Android devices with industry-standard forensic tools, including targeted, scope-limited extractions when a warrant or consent requires it.
- Logical, full file system, and targeted extractions (on-site available)
- Messages, call logs, contacts, photos and metadata, app and social media data
- Location artifacts, device activity, and timeline reconstruction
- Encrypted, secure storage of extraction data
- Written forensic reports and trial exhibits
02Cell Network (CSLI) Mapping
Cell-site records rarely say as much as the maps built from them suggest. We review carrier call detail records and location data, test the assumptions behind the government’s analysis, and prepare clear, accurate maps of our own.
- Review of carrier records (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and others)
- Evaluation of sector, azimuth, and coverage assumptions
- Review of mapping-software output and conclusions
- Independent maps and timelines for hearing or trial
03Computer Forensics
Mountains of data live on personal and business computers. We forensically image and examine Windows and Mac systems and external media using write-blocking and documented procedures.
- Forensic imaging (on-site available) and secure evidence storage
- Files, folders, and access dates and times
- Email, internet and search history, chats, and social media
- User activity and attribution analysis
- Full forensic reports and expert testimony
04Video Forensics
Surveillance video is part of nearly every case. We recover video from DVR/NVR systems and devices and prepare it for court.
- Recovery and export from DVR/NVR and cloud systems
- Clarification and enhancement
- Still images and enlargements
- Redactions and courtroom-ready exhibits
05Expert Testimony & Cross-Examination Support
MWV examiners have been qualified as experts in Massachusetts state courts and U.S. Federal District Court since 2008.
- Testimony at motion hearings and trial
- Preparation of cross-examination of government forensic experts
- Daubert-Lanigan challenges to tools and methods
- Affidavits and declarations
06Discovery & Warrant Review
The government’s forensic report is a starting point, not the final word. We review what was extracted, how, and whether it matches what was authorized.
- Review of Cellebrite, GrayKey, and other extraction reports
- Comparison of extraction scope to warrant language
- Identification of missing, misattributed, or misinterpreted data
- Discovery requests for the underlying forensic data
