Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely, the Free Evaluation is an important step and always completed without any charge or obligation.  Sometimes we may find that the audio is not a good candidate for our processes, in which case we would elect not to move forward but usually will make recommendations for your case.

The Free Evaluation is normally completed within 1 business day.  Clarification processes will typically take 2 business days once the case is approved and an Agreement For Forensic Services has been completed.  Authentication services typically take 3 to 4 business days.

Certainly, there are a number of software packages available for audio enhancement, including those on cell phones.  However, without the disciplines of the forensic process there may be admissibility issues.  United States Forensics is not a law firm, and as always, we recommend you consult with your Attorney for guidance and advice.
