Additionally, Legal Eagle offers a third party digital forensic examiner. This forensics expert may find crucial hidden information on disc drives, mobile phones, and hosted servers, as well as on email servers, cloud servers, ram memory chips, voicemail, text messaging, and even on camera memory cards.

The evidence found utilizing digital forensics could make or break a court case, and its usefulness should never be overlooked both in criminal actions or civil actions. Evidence found using computer forensics is typically discoverable and authenticated for presentation to the jury in South Carolina and North Carolina state and federal courts.
