We specialize in technical enquiries… discovering clues in computers, performing detailed investigations, finding electronic eavesdropping devices and providing court testimony. Our Seattle/Tacoma area company was founded in 1987 by Dr. Gordon Mitchell. We serve clients ranging from Fortune 10 companies to individuals.
Our skills are honed by design of optical/electronic/mechanical/sensing systems, decades of investigating vulnerabilities, providing experiences from hair-on-fire emergency situations to being the long term corporate memory for clients.
