Criminal Defense Digital Evidence

Independent forensic review for defense counsel throughout California.

AMR Digital Forensics assists criminal-defense attorneys with the preservation, acquisition, examination, and interpretation of digital evidence. The work is structured to help counsel understand what the evidence can show, what it cannot show, and what questions remain.

When to involve a digital forensic expert

Consider involving an expert early when digital evidence may affect a defense theory, discovery review, suppression issue, authentication question, timeline, attribution question, or preparation for testimony. Early review can help preserve relevant data, identify gaps, and guide focused requests for additional materials.

Evidence AMR may examine

  • Mobile devices and computers

  • Application data and communications

  • Deleted artifacts, when recoverable

  • Cloud exports

  • Photographs, video, and metadata

  • GPS and location records

  • Vehicle data

  • Forensic extraction reports

How the work supports counsel

  • Discovery-gap identification

  • Report review and consultation

Important limitations

Findings depend on the evidence available and lawful access to it. Technical analysis may support a position, contradict it, or leave an issue unresolved. Technical analysis alone does not determine identity, knowledge, intent, possession, control, guilt, innocence, or any legal conclusion.
