Digital Forensics · e-Discovery · Expert Witness

Digital evidence, handled like it’s going to court. Because it is.

Computer Forensics Unlimited is Central Minnesota’s local digital forensics practice — serving area attorneys, businesses, and law enforcement since 2015. Every other option is 80 miles away or a national call center. We offer same-day, chain-of-custody device intake right here in the St. Cloud area.

What we do

A scientific process that captures and analyzes information stored in any electronic format — documented so it survives scrutiny, from preservation through testimony.

Preserve

Write-blocked, hash-verified forensic imaging of computers, phones, and cloud accounts, with complete chain-of-custody documentation. Flat per-device rates.

Examine

Recovery and analysis of files, messages, metadata, and timelines using independently validated forensic tools — delivered as clear written findings.

Testify

Affidavits, declarations, depositions, and courtroom testimony that explain digital evidence in plain English a judge and jury can follow.

Support

Litigation support and e-discovery for legal teams, plus electronic-evidence processing assistance for Central Minnesota law enforcement agencies.

Forensic services

  • Computer & mobile device forensic investigations
  • Forensic imaging for preservation & evidence storage
  • Expert witness services — reports, depositions, trial
  • Litigation support & e-discovery collections
  • Email analysis — threading, family de-duplication
  • Data recovery from failed or damaged media
  • OCR & load-file services (bulk, fast turnaround)
  • Litigation holds across Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace
  • Investigations in support of retained counsel — fraud, employee misconduct, spoliation

For attorneys

  • Retained-by-counsel engagements. Work is accepted through retained counsel under a written retention agreement covering scope, minimums, and scheduling.
  • Conflicts checked on every intake. Each matter is screened before acceptance.
  • Preserve now, decide later. Flat-rate preservation locks evidence in defensibly today; examination and testimony are separate engagements you add when the case calls for them.
  • Verifiable credentials. Certifications and testimony history are available on request — every credential we cite can be independently confirmed with its issuing body.

The local advantage

The Twin Cities firms are a 150-mile round trip. The national "local" websites route to call centers in other states. We are here.

Have a device or account that needs preserving?

Evidence degrades, phones get wiped, and employees leave with laptops. Preservation is inexpensive and reversible — waiting is neither.
