edd blog online: DIY or ?Garage? Computer Forensics Can - blog*spot

According to a recent article published in Law Technology News, digital evidence, more precisely its maintenance and acquisition, is already playing a major role in the Apple vs. Samsung patent infringement case that started earlier this week . But that is not only a battleground where Goliaths tread; it is a fact of daily life in every court system in the country. Because of the sheer volume of data routinely involved and the costs associated with turning all that data into relevant, usable evidence, many corporations and law firms are actively seeking out DIY and other less costly alternatives. But, as the old saying goes, ?If you don?t have the time and money to do something right the first time, you certainly don?t have the time and money to do it again.? This holds especially true in the realm of computer forensics.

Global Digital Forensics has been on the digital evidence scene for over two decades and has assisted counsel in hundreds of cases ranging from simple matters involving a single smartphone, computer or laptop, to complex network and database forensics for multi-million dollar class action suits involving huge multi-national companies everyone knows. Far too often the call comes in from desperate clients that have tried to save a little time and money by trusting unqualified individuals (no a computer forensics company should not be run out of a garage) or staff to do ?rudimentary? forensics only to find themselves caught in a quicksand trap when the bullets start to fly in court. Going back and fixing a botched job, if at all even possible depending on the severity, will typically cost up to tens times more than doing it right the first time. Global Digital Forensics can help clients get the job done right, not just from the starting gun, but before a client even sets up in the blocks for the race.
