For Attorneys & Investigators

Scene reconstruction built to hold up to scrutiny.

When documenting a scene, site, or a piece of evidence that has to hold up in court, how it was captured matters as much as what it shows. We reconstruct it as a measurable 2D or 3D record, captured with admissibility and attention to detail in mind; led by a licensed investigator who can testify to how the work was done.

What is forensic scene and accident reconstruction?

It's the process of capturing a scene — an accident, an incident, a disputed site — as an accurate, measurable 3D record. From that reconstruction you can take measurements, establish sightlines and distances, and show the scene as it was, long after it has changed. Attorneys often use this for accident reconstruction and crime-scene documentation.

How do you make the documentation hold up?

Whether a specific piece of evidence is admissible is the attorney's and the court's call. Our job is to make sure it can hold up by capturing and preserving every reconstruction with documented parameters and maintaining original data we can account for from the first flight.

// Documented capture + data we can account for

Who actually captures the scene?

The work is led by a licensed private investigator (DPSST PI-ID 98328) with more than 15 years across law enforcement and complex criminal-defense investigation, who can testify to how the work was done — not someone who simply knows how to fly a drone.

What can you reconstruct and document?

Accident and crime scenes, property and boundary disputes, premises and liability conditions, structures, and hard-to-reach places for time-sensitive evidence collection — all served as measurable 3D scene reconstructions, orthomosaic maps, and high-resolution imagery.

Questions

What you need to know.

Can you testify about your work?
Yes. Because capture is led by a licensed investigator with experience testifying, we can take the stand and explain how the data was collected, preserved, and processed.
How do you preserve chain of custody?
We document capture parameters, timestamps, equipment, and personnel, and preserve original unaltered data. See our Admissibility & Chain of Custody page for the full process.
Are you an approved provider with the Oregon Public Defense Commission?
Yes. We're an approved OPDC provider for scene reconstruction services as well as photo and video creation and editing services. We're happy to assist the public defense community and will provide any information needed for your funding request.
Can you work on short notice for time-sensitive scenes?
Conditions change and evidence degrades. We prioritize time-sensitive forensic captures and plan around weather and airspace to reach the site as quickly as safely possible.
Who do you work with?
Our background is in complex criminal-defense investigation, and we're glad to work with anyone who needs quality scene reconstruction — either side of a criminal matter, civil cases, or attorneys and investigators of any kind. Our job is to capture what's there accurately and defensibly, not to pick sides.

Need scene reconstruction or documentation that can hold up in court?

Tell us the location and type of case. We'll scope the project and provide a quote or information required for OPDC funding requests, when needed.
