Are forensic experts really worth the investment? Let’s take a quick dive into this question with an analogy.

When introducing a litigator to audio and video forensics, I like to use the analogy of car repair. You can have your car repaired by a backyard mechanic who charges $40/hour. It might take that backyard mechanic ten hours to fix the problem.

On the other hand, you could take your car to the dealership, which charges $75/hour, and have it repaired in two hours. The difference lies in the experience and credibility.

The dealership’s experience and knowledge of that car save repair time and help the customer better understand the nature of the problem. The same is true regarding a forensic expert. Forensic experts can save litigators time and money by helping them understand and explain forensic evidence and investigations.

The most direct monetary savings come from forensic “data culling.” For large cases involving massive amounts of digital media—such as hundreds of hours of body camera footage, closed-circuit television (CCTV), or thousands of smartphone images—the cost for lawyers to manually review everything is staggering.
