Mobile Evidence Litigation Resources
Mobile evidence is won or lost early. Preservation instructions, auto-delete settings, and the selection of a qualified examiner are decided in the opening weeks of a matter — long before the trier of fact sees a single message. These resources are designed to help counsel make those decisions well.
Reference Materials
Templates and checklists for counsel
Each resource is delivered by email as a PDF. Both reflect the same discipline we apply in engagements: preserve first, evaluate carefully, and document everything.

Mobile-Evidence Preservation Letter Template
Courts have shown little patience for parties who fail to preserve mobile data. This template addresses the sources most often lost before counsel intervenes: the devices themselves, ephemeral messaging applications, cloud backups, and auto-delete settings that continue to run while the parties negotiate. Adapt it to the facts and circumstances of each case and send it early.

Evaluating a Mobile Forensics Expert — A Litigator’s Checklist
Not every examiner who can run an extraction tool can defend one. This checklist sets out the questions counsel should ask about a proposed expert’s qualifications, methodology, tools, and testimony history — and, just as important, the answers that should give pause before the expert’s name appears on a report.

Mobile evidence in dispute?
From preservation strategy to expert testimony, we interpret mobile evidence in its proper legal context.
Submitting a request does not create an attorney-client, expert, or consulting relationship. Do not send privileged or confidential materials until a conflict check is complete and an engagement agreement is in place.
