Cell Phone Forensics
Modern smartphones are able to perform a wide variety of functions that were once only possible with a computer. Significant advances in technology have helped to give these small, portable digital devices the ability to do everything from counting your steps to making 4K videos. Unsurprisingly, a cell phone can provide a mountain of data regarding its user, including where they have been, who they have called, or what they have searched for on the web recently. This information can prove to be invaluable evidence in a civil or criminal case. At Artemis Forensics, we can assist our clients with the discovery or recovery of digital data from any digital device, including cell phones, laptops, computers, tablets, external hard drives, and more. If you are looking for professional and reliable digital forensics services that can deliver timely results, give us a call today.

Our Process
Digital data can be fragile, which is why it is important to make sure that you work with an experienced digital forensic expert that can handle your case with the utmost discretion, professionalism, and skill. Our company has been providing digital forensic consulting services to law enforcement and governmental agencies throughout the country for many years. Each and every single member of our team understands the importance of adhering to strict protocols when it comes to handling and preserving any physical devices or digital data we come into contact with.
We begin by identifying what data may be relevant to your case. Often, mobile data can span across multiple different devices, servers, systems, or cloud accounts. Message history, photos, or other files that have been deleted from the original device may be backed up onto a personal computer or synced to a cloud account. Retrieving the data from these different sources can allow us to compile a more complete picture of your case.
After the identification phase, we will need to collect the physical device for forensic
examination. It is important to isolate the device from the user to ensure that any digital evidence is not lost, contaminated, or tampered with. Once we have the device within our possession, we will ensure the device is disconnected from all networks to prevent data transmissions that can delete or overwrite the existing data on the phone.
From here, we will begin the acquisition phase. During the acquisition process, we copy data from the mobile device in order to produce a perfect “snapshot” of how the data exists on the device at that exact point in time. We are able to use a range of methods to capture the data contained on the device, as well as deleted files or cloud data.
While it often makes the most sense for us to export all of the recovered data for our clients to review, we are more than happy to prepare a report with more detailed explanations of our findings upon request.
Expert Testimony
Our digital forensic experts can provide expert testimony in your case if necessary. We are able to explain any technical concepts or forensic procedures in simple, easy-to-understand terms that can be properly processed by the judge and jury. We recognize the importance of effectively communicating our analysis and findings on the stand using plain language that is clear, concise, and free of technical jargon that may be confusing or misleading. With years of experience aiding in civil and criminal investigations, we have a firm understanding of how we can optimally support our clients. Our team will work with you to ensure we help you attain the best outcome for your case.
