No Case is Too Big – or Too Small

ELIJAH has the scale in Chicago, throughout Illinois, and nationwide, to support the largest digital forensic and eDiscovery challenges. We have a nearly 20-year track record of success in large-scale, bet-the-company disputes. When you need the highest level of responsiveness and expertise, our focused approach is second-to-none.

Although we routinely work on large disputes, many are under the mistaken impression that computer forensics and electronic discovery are not affordable in small cases. Nothing could be further from the truth. Correctly imaging and analyzing a mobile phone, a social media account, computer, or email account can make the difference between winning and losing a case. In distracted driver cases, for example, a smart phone can be the most important piece of evidence in the case, and the reasonable cost of collection and analysis often provides delivers a powerful return on investment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do You Really Have a Chicago Office?

Yes, in the heart of the Chicago Loop! Our Chicago is staffed with actual digital forensic and eDiscovery experts who live and work in the Chicago metropolitan area, not just a sales outpost.

Do You Work Outside of Illinois?

Yes, we have offices nationwide to support client needs. We also can perform almost all digital forensic services remotely, and eDiscovery inherently is a remote service. When in-person work is required in other offices, because Chicago is a national transportation hub, we quickly can provide support in almost any location.

You Mentioned Both Computer Forensics and Digital Forensics. Are they different?

Not really. Computer forensics is an older term for the profession. As the diversity of electronic storage devices and accounts grew, most have accepted digital forensics as a more inclusive, accurate term, but many use the two interchangeably.

Is ELIJAH Good at What it Does?
