 Heather Barbieri

 President, Barbieri Law Firm

 As a family law attorney, I regularly require the services of private investigators. The most successful investigations involve strategy and planning. Blackfish is hands down the sharpest group out there. When you hire Blackfish, you are pairing with the most strategic investigators around. They are pros at covert operations and have the in-depth knowledge to dig deep when conducting background checks. Blackfish investigators always go above and beyond as valued members of the team.

 I’ve been a prosecutor and defense lawyer in the criminal justice system for 23 years and there is no other investigations company I’d rather have working on my cases. These guys are real professionals and true partners; they have the skills to get to the truth of the matter, the wisdom to know how to best present their case, and the experience to help formulate trial strategy. Blackfish is the best around!

CRUCIAL IN EVERY CASE

## DIGITAL FORENSICS

DIGITAL FORENSICS Is the process of retrieving as much electronic data as possible from its source, and subsequently analyzing it in context. The goal of this process is to preserve any evidence in its most original form, usually for use in a structured criminal or civil investigation. The forensic examination must meet rigorous evidentiary collection standards to withstand cross-examination in court.
