| Q: | How much experience do you have?
|
| A: | Twenty-nine years of full-time law enforcement with nine of those years in the field of computer forensics.
|
| Q: | How many cases have you handled?
|
| A: | Hundreds and hundreds of criminal cases during full-time law enforcement work, and many civil cases.
|
| Q: | What is your education background?
|
| A: | College degrees (AA and BA) and a post-graduate degree called the "Master's Certificate in Computer Forensics." I am also certified by the State of California as a "Computer Crimes Investigator."
|
| Q: | Why is your overhead low, allowing you to pass on the savings to the client?
|
| A: | I have collected, over many years, computer forensics software and hardware, purchased
before becoming a "Computer
Forensics P.I." My investments in the equipment are done, and I don't have to work out of an office.
|
| Q: | Can you do "other" investigations?
|
| A: | Of course I can do other investigations. In fact, during a high technology investigation I will be doing other normal PI work, supplementing my high tech work. You get better value, and a well-rounded service from a PI who just happens to be a computer hobbyist and computer forensics investigator.
|
| Q: | How are you qualified to do other PI services?
|
| A: | Only nine of my twenty-nine years of full-time law enforcement were in the computer forensics field. I served in several investigative positions, and testified hundreds of times on other cases not related to high technology.
|
| Q: | Are there Computer Forensics Peer Groups that you have like the other PI's have?
|
| A: | Yes. I belong to IACIS (International Association of Computer Investigative Specialists). I trained all current computer forensics investigators in my area as of 2004. I am a member of other professional investigator groups.
