Criminal Defense
CompuFor staff has been providing computer forensic services to the criminal defense community for over four years. We have a proven process that has worked on hundreds of criminal matters We've provided consulting and forensic services on a wide variety of criminal matters such as: white collar, internet fraud, murder, and sex crimes.

CompuFor provides attorneys and defendants with a reality check by working though various possible theories of defense, and trial scenarios. Attorneys and clients find this service very beneficial when trying to decide whether to accept a plea, or go to trial. We are often retained as case agents for trial, in a consulting capacity, even when we don't testify.

CompuFor has an excellent relationship with local and US prosecutors and law enforcement. We are familiar with the processes and rules that govern access and production of evidence.

Beyond Computers
Most people think of criminal computer forensics only when the computer is part of the criminal activity. However, there are many other times when the computer can play a vital role. For example: internet search history, e-mails, photographs, journals and spreadsheet documents often unveil crucial information needed by the all parties to fully understand the what had taken place.

Successful Resolutions
The following cases are examples of where CompuFor made a difference, usually resulting in quick dismissal or acceptance of a plea bargain:

An eBay reseller was charged with defrauding customers of thousands of dollars each. CompuFor examined the computer systems and produced forensic reports that led to a negotiated plea, that was accepted by the defendant.
A first responder was charged with possession of child pornography. CompuFor was able to prove that the defendant was a victim of an internet-drive-by. An internet-drive-by is where malicious code is downloaded to a computer via the internet browser without the user knowing it. In this case, CompuFor participated in the plea discussion. We were able to prove to the prosecutor and police forensic examiner that prior to the arrival of the malware, there was never any child porn related material on the computer, and in fact, the user had been trying to unsuccessfully rid his system of the malware and pornography. In Arizona knowledge of possession, not intent is sufficient for a conviction. The defendant accepted a reduced plea.
CompuFor was called in to review a case involving an engineer who was charged with child porn and molestation. CompuFor established that while the defendant was in custody, someone continued to surf child porn web sites. We also provided forensic reports from the involved computer systems regarding chat messages and personal journals that addressed the allegations of molestation. The possession of child porn charges were dismissed.
A religious leader was charged with showing adult porn to a minor during a church sanctioned event. CompuFor produced reports from the involved computer system and testified at trial. The defendant was acquitted.
An investigator faced charges of tampering with certified records. CompuFor produced a video analysis and supporting documentation. All charges were dropped in the name of justice.
