Digital evidence expertise for your case
When your case turns on a text thread, a deleted file, or what a device can actually prove, you need an examiner who has done this work at the highest level — and defended it under oath.
Why OneSix Forensics?
Most digital forensics vendors have never testified. Most experts-for-hire have never worked a major case from seizure to verdict. Kyle Christopherson has done both — for over two decades.
As a POST-certified Major Crimes Detective and Digital Forensic Examiner, Kyle has personally examined more than 1,200 devices and has been qualified as an expert witness in U.S. District Court (District of Idaho) and Idaho state courts. His work has earned two Letters of Commendation from the U.S. Attorney's Office. That casework standard — forensically sound acquisition, documented methodology, defensible conclusions — is exactly what your civil matter gets.

Services for Attorneys
Preservation & acquisition — Forensically sound, write-blocked imaging of phones, computers, external media, and cloud accounts, with full chain-of-custody documentation. If litigation is coming, preserve first — data ages badly.
Examination & analysis — Recovery and analysis of messages, call records, photos and metadata, location data, browsing history, deleted content, and user activity timelines. You get findings in plain English, tied to the artifacts that support them.
Opposing expert review — Independent review of the other side's forensic reports and methodology. Where the work is solid, you'll know. Where it overreaches, you'll know exactly where.
Declarations, reports & testimony — Expert reports and affidavits written for the court, and clear, credible testimony at deposition and trial from a witness who has been qualified in federal and state court.
Litigation-hold & ESI consulting — Practical guidance on what to preserve, how to request it, and what a device or account can realistically yield before you spend discovery budget chasing it.
Where Digital Evidence Decides Cases
Family law and custody disputes · Departing-employee data theft and non-compete matters · Business and partnership disputes · Harassment and stalking · Personal injury and insurance claims · Probate and estate disputes
If a device, an account, or a timeline matters to your case, it's worth an examiner's eyes.

1. Conflict check & consult — a short call to scope the matter. No charge to find out if we can help.
2. Preserve — devices and accounts imaged forensically before anything else happens.
3. Examine — analysis targeted to your case questions, not a data dump.
4. Report — findings you can file, in language a judge and jury can follow.
