Digital forensics for lawyers who need to know what the data can actually prove.

Digital evidence in litigation

Call Taylor when the question depends on how a device, account, or record was created. A screenshot rarely supplies the context on its own.

Mobile devices

Messages, application records, media, timestamps, deleted artifacts, and a clear account of what an extraction captured.

Cloud and account data

Cloud returns and account exports examined beside the device and against the scope of the request that produced them.

Location and communications

Coordinates do not speak for themselves. Taylor examines how the record was created and what location it can reasonably establish.

Reports and testimony

Taylor writes for the lawyer, expert, or judge who never handled the device. He also provides technical consulting and expert-witness support.

Taylor Black

Taylor is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, cybersecurity professional, and founder of PowellPath Group in Georgia.

He works with attorneys and legal teams on mobile, computer, cloud, social-media, and geolocation evidence. His work includes device and account examinations, technical consulting, written findings, and expert-witness support.

Sometimes counsel needs to decide what to preserve or collect. In other matters, the question is whether an existing report, export, or screenshot supports the claim being made from it.

The source comes first.

Every conclusion should identify the record it came from. Dates, coordinates, and messages can change meaning when their settings or surrounding records are missing.

Taylor starts with the factual question counsel needs answered, then works back to the device, account, or other source capable of answering it. The report identifies the source. If the data leaves room for more than one explanation, it says so.

Tell Taylor what you need to establish.

Before sending data, identify the device or account, the dates involved, and the fact in dispute. PowellPath can advise what should be preserved or examined next.
