Frequently Asked Questions About Mobile Forensics
Can you recover deleted text messages?
In many cases, yes. Deleted messages often remain in device databases until overwritten. Success depends on the device type, how recently messages were deleted, and device usage since deletion. We can assess recovery potential during initial examination.
What data can be extracted from mobile devices?
We can extract messages (SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, Signal), call logs, contacts, photos and videos, location history, browsing history, app data, email, calendar, notes, and device usage patterns. Specific data availability depends on device type and security settings.
Can you examine locked or encrypted devices?
We have capabilities to examine many locked devices, depending on the device model and iOS/Android version. For devices with unknown passcodes, we can discuss available options during consultation. Legal authorization is required for locked device examination.
Are your findings admissible in court?
Yes. We use court-validated tools and methodologies, maintain proper chain of custody, and our examiners have testified in federal and state courts. Our reports are prepared to meet evidentiary standards and we're available for deposition and trial testimony.
How long does mobile forensics take?
Standard examinations typically take 5-10 business days. Rush services are available for urgent matters. Timeline depends on device storage size, data volume, and scope of analysis required. We provide timeline estimates after initial consultation.
