Experience with the record and the courtroom.
E-Hounds experts have been qualified in more than 250 cases across state and federal jurisdictions since 1998. Founder Adam Sharp has been personally qualified in more than 180 matters. Areas of qualification include digital and computer forensics, IT, eDiscovery, consumer electronics, video surveillance devices, and mobile electronics.
Our team has testified in civil matters, criminal prosecution and defense, bankruptcy and receivership cases, product liability class actions, copyright disputes, family law, and federal enforcement matters. Experience includes Florida state and federal courts and appointments in Alabama, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah, and New York.
The analyst who performed the work can explain the sources, methods, and findings. That continuity matters when counsel needs an opinion clarified, an assumption tested, or the examination defended under cross.
Work product for each stage of the matter.
Expert declarations and affidavits
Sworn statements of findings, methodology, and qualifications prepared in the form and citation style required by the matter. This includes technical support for receiver motions, evidentiary issues, and federal filings.
Deposition preparation and testimony
Preparation with counsel, review of opposing expert reports, and deposition testimony addressing the evidence and the basis of the expert's opinions.
Courtroom testimony
Direct examination, cross-examination, and rebuttal supported by exhibits and demonstratives prepared for nontechnical judges and juries.
An opinion needs an explainable basis.
Our findings are grounded in documented forensic methods that another qualified examiner can review and challenge. We disclose relevant tool limitations and explain when a conclusion depends on assumptions or incomplete information.
Our experts maintain certifications and continuing education in digital forensics, network intrusion, and related specialties. Professional development and membership in organizations including IEEE and AAAS support that ongoing work.
