Digital Forensics Burlington, Vermont | Defense, Institutional, and Technology Matters

Burlington's university, hospital, and software employers produce evidence in institutional systems, while the federal courthouse and state bar keep a steady flow of defense and civil work.

Send the Question

Chittenden County

Institutions, startups, and individuals, each with a different evidence trail.

A campus dispute may depend on learning-platform logs and email retention rules. A startup's trade-secret question may depend on code repositories and cloud storage activity. A criminal case may depend on a phone report prepared by an agency. Each has distinct sources and distinct limits.

Rune Forensics examines these sources and explains how much weight each can bear. For criminal defense matters, the practice can provide independent review of law enforcement extractions and reports.

  • Where inquiries come from

    Defense and civil counsel, university and healthcare compliance offices, technology company owners, and individuals.

  • What tends to be contested

    Account activity within institutional systems, whether a record has been altered, the completeness of an extraction, and the origin of photos and recordings.

Questions

Vermont: questions before you start.

Do you work in federal cases in Vermont?

Yes. The reporting and testimony-support approach is the same across state and federal matters, with scope adjusted to the forum.

Can you work with an institution's records without direct access?

Typically through the organization's legal or compliance channels, using exports, preservation requests, and agreed protocols rather than direct system access.

How do you assess a photo or video submitted as evidence?

By examining metadata, structure, and provenance together, and stating what the review can and cannot support.
