Our Digital Forensics Process


At Barefoot PI, we focus primarily on information recovery and preservation. Our digital forensic services focus on what happens after a breach has occurred or data has been wiped. We examine computers, mobile devices, and social media platforms to recover and preserve any information that may be important to your case, including emails, texts, and documents. We also look to bring the integrity back to data that has been purposely changed.

Data Recovery and Preservation


Data recovery and preservation is key in digital forensics cases. By finding the manipulated or erased data and preserving it, we can piece together what actually happened. This data contains facts that are often crucial to your case. We use advanced techniques and court recognized software to find this information.

Why Hire a Digital Forensics Company


Digital Forensic Examiners can ethically and legally dig through the data of a computer, mobile device, social media platform, or other electronic data, finding criminal activity and malicious intent that would otherwise not be found. Our Forensic Examiners can report what they have uncovered and testify to its accuracy during court proceedings as expert witnesses.

Our Team


Our digital forensic investigators hold multiple certifications in digital forensics and have been qualified as expert witnesses in Civil and Criminal trials. They have over 15 years of experience in digital forensics and nearly 20 years of experience in private investigations and testifying in court proceedings. We are constantly training and keeping up with the latest technological advances.
