Franklin County

One city, several kinds of records, one standard of reading them.

An agency email chain, a student's phone, a retailer's customer database, and an insurer's claim file may all land on the same attorney's desk in one year. The tools differ, but the discipline does not: identify the original source, preserve it, test it, and state limits.

Rune Forensics can apply that approach to Columbus matters. The practice can provide independent review of law enforcement phone and computer reports for criminal defense matters, assist civil litigators with account and file questions, and help employers with departures and compromised accounts.

FAQ

Answers for Columbus matters.

Do you take state-agency related matters?

Typically through produced records and agreed preservation protocols, and with respect for the rules governing public records.

Can you assess whether a recording is the original?

The practice examines file metadata, structure, and provenance and reports what can be said about origin and editing.

Is it worth reviewing a report that appears routine?

Often. Routine reports sometimes rely on tool defaults that deserve a closer look, and a quick review can confirm or flag them.
