Consultation and Expert Testimony

R J Goan and Associates provides expert consultation to both corporate and legal teams on a wide variety of digital forensic and incident response topics.  In the case where actual digital forensic and incident response services are not required, or if it is unknown if they are required, our experts can serve in a consultative or advisory role.  Consultation can be especially helpful to determine if an investigation may be required, what digital forensic and incident response options are available, or when a corporate client has an incident which their IT team may not be fully equipped to handle.

Our experts have experience testifying in both criminal and civil matters and are available to provide expert testimony, either as part of our investigative services or as a separate service.  Digital forensics can be a complex topic, difficult to present in court to those without pre-existing knowledge of the topic; our experts excel at presenting complex evidence in a simple, easy to understand way.
