Software Forensic Expert Witness

Service Overview

Clear, objective software analysis—when the stakes are high.

When software is at the center of a legal dispute, clarity matters. As a Software Forensic Expert Witness, I bring decades of architectural and development experience to uncover what happened, how it happened, and why it matters. Whether it’s a code quality issue, a system failure, or an IP or licensing dispute, I provide in-depth technical analysis, expert reports, and courtroom-ready insights that attorneys and judges can trust.

My Work Process

Thorough, defensible, and communication-first.

Step 1 – Legal & Technical Intake: We start with a consultation to understand the case, legal questions, and scope of the technical issues.
Step 2 – Discovery & Analysis: I review source code, system architecture, documentation, and related evidence to identify key facts and technical patterns.
Step 3 – Expert Reporting & Testimony: You’ll receive clear, objective reports that explain complex issues without jargon. I’m available for deposition and trial testimony as needed.

Troubleshooting Process

When the story isn’t clear from the code, I help find the truth.

Identify whether a failure was caused by poor design, bad code, or integration issues
Evaluate software deliverables against contract or industry standards
Assess ownership, licensing, or originality in source code
Validate or challenge claims of IP misuse, negligence, or technical misrepresentation

Whether you're defending or prosecuting, I help you make your case with confidence and clarity.

Going Beyond the Usual

Developer-to-Attorney Translation: I break down technical details in language that attorneys, juries, and judges can understand—without losing the nuance.

Deep Technical Credibility: 25+ years in architecture and engineering, with books, talks, and real-world systems to back up every analysis.

Professionalism Under Pressure: I’ve worked in high-stakes environments and bring calm, focused clarity to litigation—even under cross-examination.
