How to Properly Obtain Electronic Evidence in Fraud Cases

Trent L. Leavitt

November 7, 2017

Trent Leavitt began his career in computer forensics in 2005. Trent worked with law firms managing large cases in electronic discovery. Trent was the general manger of all aspects of “E-Discovery” and computer forensics. Over time Trent began to receive more questions regarding computer forensics. This began Trent’s career in computer forensics. A lifestyle change was in order and Trent began his degree program at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont majoring in Computer Forensics & Digital Investigations.

When he completed his degree in computer forensics & digital investigation Trent was hired by AccessData. AccessData is one of the largest computer forensics software companies in the world. Trent assisted clients in using computer forensics software and methodologies. After only two months in this position Trent was asked to head up the most prominent account for the company. The FBI account was by far the most important account for AccessData. During the rest of his tenure at AccessData Trent worked closely with FBI agents from around the country on matters related to computer forensics. Trent’s cases included child pornography, homicide, fraud, embezzlement, drug rings, sex trafficking and financial crimes as well as terrorism and counter terrorism.

In January of 2012 Trent co-founded Decipher Forensics LLC. In November of 2012 Trent left AccessData to pursue his goals of working for himself in the world of computer forensics.

Today Trent is a court certified computer forensics expert. He has seen hundreds of cases from start to finish. He has a particular love for law enforcement cases and complex litigation. His partners Mike Johnson and Richard Hickman successfully operate Decipher Forensics LLC. Since its inception they have worked with clients from 32 different states and several foreign countries. Trent works in areas of family law, criminal law, civil litigation, missing persons, intellectual property as well as all forms of cell phone forensics, password and encryption breaking.

When Trent is not performing computer forensics exams, he prefers to spend his time with his wife and four children, backpacking and spending time at “The Ranch” in Southern Idaho.
