Digital Forensics

Expert Witness Service

As digital forensic professionals, CYFOR are frequently called upon by courts of law to provide expert witness testimonies within legally aided and civil dispute matters. In this capacity, we may be instructed by the defence or prosecution in criminal and fraud cases or, in the case of civil litigation, the legal team for the claimant or the respondent. There are also instances in which the court may instruct a CYFOR expert witness to act as the Single Joint Expert (SJE) in order to prepare a report on behalf of two or more of the parties.

Our experts are fully conversant with the Criminal Procedure Rules Part 33 and the Civil Procedures Rules Part 35 and the Guidance for the Instruction of Experts to give Evidence in Civil Claims, issued by the Civil Justice Council.

CYFOR investigators are consummate professionals, providing independent and objective reports on whatever case they may handle. If required to support their investigation in a court of law, this professionalism is carried through to any evidence given. All CYFOR investigators receive regular courtroom training provided by one of the leading companies in the UK.

We appreciate that affiliations and accreditation can give clients confidence in our capabilities. It also means our work is regulated and quality assured. That is why we are Law Society Registered and approved as Expert Witnesses by several regulatory bodies in the UK.
