    Forensic Video

    Analysis

     
    Forensic Video Analysis involves the scientific examination, comparison, and/or evaluation of video in legal matters.

    Expert

    Testimony

     
    A thorough and detailed forensic analysis of your Digital & Multimedia Evidence is critical to understanding its true meaning; effectively explaining it to the court takes a different skill set altogether. I have testified in Local, State and Federal courts in U.S., and I take great pride in making complex DME topics easy to understand.
