Digital Evidence Case Assessment
Know what your digital evidence actually shows before committing to a full forensic examination.
Attorneys increasingly encounter cases involving text messages, emails, social media, photographs, documents, metadata, and other forms of digital evidence. This focused review of a limited evidence set helps determine what the available evidence supports, what it does not establish, whether preservation concerns exist, and whether additional forensic examination may be warranted.
When a Digital Evidence Case Assessment May Help
This service is intended for situations where an attorney has digital evidence but needs an experienced forensic perspective before deciding whether to pursue a larger examination.
Assess message copies, headers, metadata, attachments, discrepancies, and preservation issues.
Social Media
Review posts, comments, replies, screenshots, URLs, visibility issues, and available preservation information.
Photographs and Screenshots
Evaluate timestamps, available metadata, source information, and limitations associated with screenshots or reproduced images.
Documents and Metadata
Assess available file properties, metadata, document history, timestamps, and other relevant characteristics.
Digital Evidence Questions
Help determine whether a particular issue can reasonably be addressed through additional forensic collection or examination.

Clear expectations
A Focused Assessment — Not a Full Forensic Examination
The $295 assessment is based only on the limited evidence provided. It is intended to help determine whether additional forensic work is justified, not to replace work that requires access to original source material.
- It does not replace forensic acquisition of an original device, account, computer, phone, or source system when acquisition is necessary.
- It does not guarantee that deleted information can be recovered.
- It does not guarantee authentication or attribution.
- It does not guarantee that a disputed fact can be conclusively established.
- It identifies what the available evidence may indicate within the scope of the material reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers are necessarily limited by the material available and the confirmed scope of the assessment.
What types of evidence can I submit?
Examples may include emails, text messages, screenshots, social-media content, photographs, documents, metadata, exported records, and other limited digital evidence sets.
How much evidence is included for $295?
The service is intended for a limited, focused evidence set. Precision Forensics will confirm whether the material fits the assessment scope before work begins.
Is this a full forensic examination?
No. It is an initial professional assessment designed to determine what the submitted evidence shows and whether additional forensic work may be warranted.
Can you determine whether evidence has been altered?
Some evidence may contain technical indicators relevant to authenticity, provenance, processing, or modification. Any conclusion depends on the available source material and circumstances.
Can you recover deleted information?
Deleted-data recovery generally requires access to appropriate source devices, accounts, backups, or forensic images and is normally outside the scope of the $295 assessment.
Will I receive something in writing?
Yes. The client receives a concise written assessment appropriate to the scope of the review.
Can the assessment lead to a full forensic engagement?
Yes. If additional examination is warranted, Precision Forensics can discuss appropriate preservation, acquisition, examination, reporting, or litigation-support options.
