Digital Forensics New York, New York | Litigation and Defense Support
In a city where discovery volume is high and opposing experts are common, the useful question is narrow: does this specific conclusion follow from this specific record?
Discuss a MatterManhattan and the boroughs
A second examiner for matters that already have one.
New York litigators and defense counsel are rarely short of reports. They receive extraction summaries, vendor spreadsheets, and expert declarations, often under tight schedules. What helps is an independent examiner who can read the source material, say where the report is sound, and identify the specific places where it relies on an assumption.
Rune Forensics provides that review across mobile devices, computers, and cloud accounts, and supports counsel through declarations, depositions, and testimony. The practice works remotely with firms across the five boroughs and arranges secure collection where evidence needs to be examined in person.
Who might need this
Litigators at firms of all sizes, criminal defense attorneys in state and federal court, in-house counsel, and individuals in significant disputes.
Typical review targets
Vendor-produced timelines, parsed chat exports, authentication logs, edited or disappearing messages, and whether tool labels match the underlying data.

FAQ
Common questions about New York cases.
Can you work as a consulting expert first?
Yes. Many engagements begin confidentially, with the question of testimony decided once findings are known.
How do you handle ephemeral messaging apps?
By determining what remains on the device, in backups, and in provider records, and then reporting plainly what could and could not be recovered.
Can you review a vendor's e-discovery output?
The practice reviews forensic reports and data processing as they bear on authenticity and interpretation, and states where output depends on settings.
Can you provide testimony support in federal court?
Testimony support is provided in state and federal proceedings, with scope tailored to the forum.
Engagement
Send the record and the question that matters most.
