Why This Webinar Exists
The courtroom doesn’t care who’s right; it cares who’s prepared.
When I took on a major public-records case without an attorney, the experience rewired how I approach investigations, documentation, and evidence control.
In this live session, I'll share the behind-the-scenes lessons every DFIR professional can use to make their own reports, chains of custody, and testimony bulletproof before they ever set foot in a courtroom. I'll sprinkle some stories of perjury, destroyed public records, and a bad faith judgment.
What You’ll Learn
- 
When Documentation Becomes Evidence – and how to write so it stands up under discovery.
 - 
Procedure as a Force Multiplier – using the rules to frame the fight, not react to it.
 - 
Cross-Examination Survival – answering hard questions without volunteering rope.
 - 
Lessons From the Field – what actually happened when government lawyers tried to bury the record.
