A focused approach to computer forensics services

Computer forensics examines electronic artifacts in context. The objective is not to search everything indiscriminately, but to identify the devices, time periods, users, files, and activity most relevant to a defined question.

Service overview

Questions computer artifacts may address

A computer examination may help assess file creation or deletion, connected storage, application use, account activity, browser history, document access, communications, and system events. Available evidence depends on the device, operating system, configuration, and subsequent use.

01

Targeted examination and proportional scope

A targeted plan reduces unnecessary review of unrelated personal or business data. Search terms, date ranges, user profiles, applications, and artifact categories should connect directly to the authorized objective.

  • File and folder activity
  • Operating-system artifacts
  • Browser and application history
  • External-device connections

02

Working copies and source protection

When appropriate, analysis is performed from a documented forensic copy rather than by repeatedly interacting with the original device. The acquisition method and any limitations should be recorded.

03

Computer findings for counsel and clients

Results should be organized into understandable timelines, artifact explanations, and supporting references. Technical conclusions must remain within the evidence and should identify alternative explanations or missing information where relevant.

Private Investigation FAQs

01Is a consultation with a female private investigator confidential?

ATB Investigations treats consultation information discreetly and requests only information relevant to evaluating the matter. Specific questions about legal privilege should be discussed with qualified counsel.

02What types of matters can a female investigator handle?

Depending on the facts and lawful scope, work may include surveillance, background research, family-related fact gathering, fraud inquiries, online research, locate investigations, and digital-evidence matters.

03Can I be guaranteed that a female investigator handles every task?

Anita Blaum provides the primary client contact. Assignment details depend on scope, safety, location, required expertise, and availability and should be confirmed during consultation.

04What should I prepare for the initial consultation?

Prepare a concise timeline, relevant names, available documents or communications, and the specific question you need the investigation to address. Do not obtain information unlawfully.

05Can a private investigator provide legal advice?

No. An investigator can collect and document facts within an authorized scope but does not replace an attorney or provide legal strategy.

06How much does a private investigation cost?

Cost depends on scope, time, location, required methods, and complexity. ATB Investigations reviews the objective before discussing an appropriate scope and fee arrangement.

07How long does an investigation take?

Timing varies with the objective, availability of records or subjects, and changing case circumstances. No responsible investigator can promise a universal completion time.

08Can a private investigator guarantee results?

No. An investigator can pursue an agreed lawful scope and document findings but cannot guarantee that evidence will confirm a belief or produce a desired outcome.

09How can I verify a private investigator’s license?

Ask for the investigator’s license number and verify it with the appropriate state licensing authority. ATB Investigations identifies its California private investigator license as PI #24646.

10Can investigation findings be used in court?

Investigation findings may assist counsel or a legal matter when collected and documented appropriately, but admissibility is decided under applicable law and court rules. Coordinate with your attorney before work begins.
