Forensic Data Recovery Services - Illinois

Whether you are a plaintiff or a defendant, or if you wish to take precautionary steps - a forensic data recovery company can enable you to capture digital evidence correctly, can provide valuable expert testimony, and can advise regarding the strength of arguments relying on digital evidence.

Digital evidence is of a special quality - while it is detailed and tampering may be obvious, it is also ephemeral, and tampering may go undetected. Dates and other "meta-data" evidence relied upon to make or break a legal argument may not have the significance attached by lay people.

The focus of Transparen's team is on building a cohesive story founded on the evidence, and on providing an objective assessment regarding the risks that the story may prove incorrect. Other key components of the forensic service include:

  • Taking an evidentiary backup of hard drives for pending or ongoing litigation
  • Swearing affidavits regarding the backup, and providing chain-of-custody certificates
  • Working with high-end Linux or UNIX servers where it is critical that either
    • the servers not be taken down, or
    • that downtime be kept minimal, or at least
    • that work be performed quickly, on-site, in a supervised manner
  • Quickly taking evidentiary copies of multiple drives, such as may be required to fulfil an Anton Pillar order gathering evidence of copies of copyrighted software existant on computers as of a specific date.
  • Taking the stand as expert witnesses to the quality of digital evidence obtained, possible tampering, and other features of the evidence.
  • Repair of defective hardware as needed.

Taking copies of drives where the drives are detached from the original computers can be performed quickly and accurately, regardless of whether the computer operates under Windows, Linux or UNIX. However, in the case of certain UNIX operating systems, it is also important to store the drive parameters.

There are many similar details surrounding the proper gathering of digital evidence, and a qualified technician from Transparen can help your company sort through these details and make sense of what the digital evidence is saying.

 IP Boutique Takes Two-Office Strategy
With competition for skilled IP lawyers as keen as ever, one Silicon Valley patent prosecution boutique hopes expanding to San Francisco will give it a leg up. Bozicevic, Field & Francis opened a small office in the city earlier this month. "We could expand on the Peninsula, but we'd be pulling from the same pool of professionals who live on the Peninsula or commute here," says partner Carol Francis, who will head the new branch. "I think more and more people would love to work closer to where they live."
 
 How to Access Your Inner Entrepreneur
It's a problem that lurks in many firms. Senior partners are the finders, and they hire minders and grinders to do the bulk of the work. Then the day comes when these hires are instructed to go out and get new clients. Suddenly, a population trained to succeed in one way has to learn to survive in a vastly different environment. Some have little problem making the transition. Consultant David Freeman explains how law firm leaders can help the many other lawyers who have not found their inner entrepreneur.

It is not enough to build relationships in the business world, says legal recruiter Lee Ann Bellon. They must be nurtured and encouraged to develop. So Bellon asked attorney Michael Athans, "What is the sin that most often destroys a lawyer-client relationship?" Not being responsive to inquiries the same day, was his response. And then Athans described his tactics for practicing what he preaches and explained how his business plan has led to success for his 23-attorney law firm in Atlanta.

The Manhattan DA's office on Thursday announced the indictment of a tax lawyer for allegedly promoting prostitution.

The Posners also allegedly falsified business records and used sham corporations to cover up their illegal activities.
 
 Does Legal Outsourcing Put Private Information at Risk?
Even before the ABA gave its recent blessing to legal outsourcing, a Maryland law firm was worried enough about privacy issues to file a suit against a legal-process outsourcing company based in India. Last week, responding to a motion to dismiss, Joseph Hennessey, a name partner at Newman, McIntosh & Hennessey, voluntarily dismissed his complaint. But, he says, that's not the end of his battle to make sure legal outsourcing doesn't result in the U.S. government getting its hands on confidential information.
 
 For Solo Upstart, One Name Says It All
Smith, just plain Smith. That is what John D. Smith is calling his new law firm. Smith, 34, was an associate at Rogers & Hardin for 5 1/2 years until going out on his own and forming Smith LLC last month. He thinks a trial practice diverse enough to accommodate select criminal matters for individuals and litigation for both large and small companies fits neatly under the rubric, Smith. "It's simple and straightforward. It's a name that's easy to say and easy to remember," says Smith.
