Approximately 99% of people in America between the ages of 18-49 have cell phones. Everyone’s locations are being tracked by their service providers; all kinds of data are stored on both our cell phones and the cloud; and everyone’s using social media. Who cares about DNA; get their cell phone.

How can this digital evidence be obtained and utilized in criminal and civil litigations? This seminar will explain how cell phones work, what data you can get from cell phones and call records, and what you can get from social media to include Google maps.
