The Problem
Every missed preservation window is a lost case.
The reactive model — calling in a digital forensics expert after the damage is done — is the most expensive way to handle digital evidence. Platform data ages out in days. Fabricated evidence goes unchallenged. Preservation windows close before anyone thinks to act.
The embedded model solves this before it starts.
"She moved quickly and methodically, identifying the people involved and mapping out the broader network in a way that finally made the full picture clear. She created a comprehensive and factual package that allowed me to approach the FBI and law enforcement with confidence, knowing I would be heard."
Tina Swithin — Author and Advocate for Family Court Reform
What Embedded Looks Like
From intake to verdict.
Preservation — Immediately
Two-line checklist back within the hour. Preservation letters out before the first hearing. Evidence locked before it ages out.
Fabrication Screening
Forward it to me. I examine metadata, formatting, and timestamps. If it's fabricated, you know before you walk into that courtroom.
Rule 1006 Ready
Voluminous platform records become a Rule 1006 summary exhibit — court-ready, jury-legible, admissible.
Retainer Tiers
One monthly fee covers your firm across all active matters.
Two partnership spots available per quarter.

Is This Right for Your Firm?
The Strategic Legal Partnership is designed for attorneys who:
- Handle family law, civil stalking, or harassment litigation regularly
- Are tired of digital evidence getting challenged or excluded at trial
- Want fabricated opposing evidence identified before it misleads the court
- Need preservation letters out at intake — not three weeks into the case
- Want a forensics expert integrated into the team, not parachuted in at the last minute
- Handle enough active matters that a per-case model is inefficient
If your firm handles one or two digital evidence cases per year, a per-case engagement is likely a better fit. View all services →
