How much will a sound, thorough forensic examination cost? Complete the free estimate form below and we will send you an accurate estimate.

We try hard to keep our costs down. If many of the questions asked in the below form are not asked by other examiners that you may contact, we would question the accuracy of their estimate and perhaps their ability to conduct the examination. It is not possibe to give an accurate estimate or to have an idea of the hardware, software and skills required, without determining hardware, operating system and exactly what the client needs. All examinations are not the same.

The least expensive estimate should not be the only factor you should use when you select a forensic examiner. Look at their training, location, experience with the current hardware and operating system, how long that they have been conducting examinations, any certification they may have and whether they have testified in court.

We are confident that you will like what you see when you take a close look at us.
