What we acquire, recover & testify to
Litigation, internal investigations, insurance disputes, and breach response all turn on the same thing: evidence that was collected correctly and can be defended. We handle the full lifecycle — acquisition, analysis, and reporting — under one documented process, delivered remotely to clients and counsel nationwide.
Mobile & Tablet Forensics
Forensic extraction and analysis of iOS and Android phones and tablets — messages, call logs, location artifacts, app data and deleted content — from devices shipped in or acquired remotely.
Mobile forensics →Computer & Hard-Drive Forensics
Bit-for-bit imaging and examination of laptops, desktops, servers and external drives — file histories, artifacts, and user activity preserved to a verifiable hash.
Computer forensics →Cloud Account Extraction
Authorized collection from email, storage, messaging and SaaS accounts — Google, Microsoft 365, iCloud and more — captured with metadata intact for review.
Cloud extraction →Remote / Covert Acquisition
Guided remote imaging and, where lawful and authorized, discreet acquisition — so a device never has to leave the client’s control or be taken offline for long.
Remote acquisition →E-Discovery & ESI
Defensible collection, processing and production of electronically stored information for litigation — deduplicated, searchable, and delivered in review-ready formats.
E-discovery →Deleted-Data Recovery
Recovery and carving of deleted files, messages, images and fragments from allocated and unallocated space — with documentation of how each item was recovered.
Data recovery →Vehicle / IoT Forensics
Extraction from infotainment and telematics systems, connected vehicles, and IoT devices — location, connection and usage data that traditional forensics misses.
Vehicle & IoT →Expert Testimony & Reporting
Clear, defensible expert reports and testimony that explain methodology and findings to judges and juries — written for the record, not just the technician.
Testimony →Incident / Breach Forensics
Post-incident investigation of intrusions, data theft and insider misuse — timeline reconstruction, scope determination, and findings that support insurance and legal action.

Evidence rules change at the state line
Digital evidence has to be admitted before it can win anything — and the rules for admitting it are not uniform across the country. Rules of evidence and standards for digital-evidence admissibility vary by state, and what a court in one jurisdiction accepts on the face of a report, another may probe for authentication, methodology, or the qualifications behind it.
The regulatory picture varies too. Some states treat computer forensics and digital investigation as licensed investigative work, folding it under private-investigator statutes; others regulate it lightly or not at all. That patchwork is exactly why a defensible, documented process matters more than a marketing claim — the chain-of-custody and methodology travel with the evidence regardless of where the matter is filed.
Honeybadger’s answer is consistency. Every engagement is delivered under a documented chain-of-custody, with verifiable imaging, hashing, and a written record of who handled what and when — and, where a state requires it, we coordinate appropriately so the collection and any testimony fit that jurisdiction’s expectations. We would rather tell you plainly what a state requires than promise a blanket credential we don’t hold.

Forensics FAQ
What clients and counsel ask first
Can you handle my case if I’m not in Arizona?
Yes. Our forensics practice is built to run remotely nationwide. In most matters the device is shipped to us under a documented custody trail, or we acquire it remotely with guided imaging — so where you’re located doesn’t limit the work. We operate from Arizona and confirm any state-specific requirements before we begin.
How do you preserve chain-of-custody on a device you never physically hold first?
Custody is a documented process, not just a locked evidence room. For mail-in devices we log condition on arrival, image to a verified hash, and record every transfer. For remote acquisitions we capture the same verification — write-blocking where applicable, hash validation, and a contemporaneous record of who did what and when — so the resulting image is defensible however it was collected.
Will your findings hold up in court?
That’s the standard we work to. Reports document methodology, tools, and hash verification so the work can be authenticated and, if needed, defended under examination. Because admissibility standards vary by state, we prepare the record to the expectations of the jurisdiction where the matter is filed and can provide expert testimony to support it.
What devices and data can you recover?
Phones and tablets, computers and external drives, cloud and email accounts, and connected vehicle and IoT systems. Within those, we recover active and deleted files, messages, images, location and usage artifacts, and account metadata — and we document how each item was recovered so it stands as evidence, not just output.
