Cellular & geolocation analysis
Understand the records before drawing conclusions. We review carrier data, location information, and communications in the context of the case.

Our services
Cellular records, location evidence, and courtroom support—organized around the questions your case presents.
The right support
Retain us for a defined task or coordinated support across analysis, exhibits, and testimony.
Understand the records before drawing conclusions. We review carrier data, location information, and communications in the context of the case.
Call detail records · Cell-site information · Timing advance
Bring relevant records, surveillance footage, and other observations into a coherent visual sequence that is easier to follow.
Maps · Slides · Synchronized evidence videos
Explain the methods, findings, and limitations clearly. Prepare for the technical questions your case may raise.
Trial preparation · Expert testimony · Clear technical explanations
Consult early on provider records, technical warrant language, preservation needs, and preliminary findings. We help identify evidence gaps and useful next steps as the case develops.
Active case consultation · Provider-record questions · Case triage
Explore investigation supportVehicle evidence
Examine vehicle location history, connected devices, and recorded activity.
Brian Meadows has received Berla CVST and CVSE certifications and training in vehicle systems forensics. Available locations, routes, connected-device identifiers, and vehicle-activity records can be compared with phone records, surveillance, and LPR observations.
His capabilities include chip-off acquisition: removing and reading memory chips directly when standard methods are insufficient. Available evidence and acquisition options depend on the vehicle system, version, and condition. Vehicle examinations are separately scoped.
Discuss vehicle evidenceField network surveys
Add observed network conditions to the technical evidence.
We survey cellular coverage at relevant locations and along routes, then compare the observations with historical carrier records and other evidence. Clear maps help explain coverage variation and assess whether a proposed location or travel account is consistent with the available information.
A survey records conditions at the time of testing. Network changes, equipment, and test conditions limit historical comparisons; a drive test cannot pinpoint a phone’s past location. Fieldwork follows the agreed case scope.
Discuss a network surveyWhat the work includes
Choose a focused assignment or a coordinated analysis and presentation engagement. The agreed scope identifies the work and deliverables your case needs.
Review supplied cellular and geolocation records for completeness, accuracy, and consistency with the requested scope. Identify apparent overproductions, missing material, and carrier errors for follow-up and correction with the producing entity.
Identify relevant voice calls and messaging activity. Compare communications with available social media interactions, text messages, and other evidence to understand the sequence and context of events.
Examine recurring locations, daily routines, and changes in activity over the period covered by the records. Distinguish observed patterns from assumptions about a person’s movements or activities.
Map call detail records, data sessions, timing advance records, and other available geolocation information. Explain the precision supported by each source and identify gaps in coverage.
Evaluate license plate reader observations, surveillance footage, social media activity, text messages, and vehicle data alongside the location and communication records. Brian Meadows brings social media investigative experience and Berla CVST and CVSE certifications in vehicle systems forensics to this work.
Develop maps and video sequences showing supported device and vehicle observations over time. Combine those observations with surveillance and other location evidence, while making time gaps and differences between sources clear.
Prepare a coordinated presentation with maps, slides, video, and an explanatory guide to the records and analysis. Organize the material so judges and juries can follow the sequence, methods, findings, and limitations.
Courtroom presentations
Maps, timelines, and synchronized video that make a complex case easier to follow.
We bring phone records, GPS data, surveillance footage, vehicle data, and license plate reader hits into one presentation. Prosecutors, judges, and juries can follow the events in order and see how the evidence connects.
Use the presentation to review the case, explain the evidence during plea discussions, or prepare for trial. When testimony is needed, we explain the analysis and answer the technical questions behind it.
How we work
A written scope and spending cap before work begins. Any increase requires your approval.
Discuss the questions, deadlines, responsible expert, and agreed scope.
Provide cellular records, social media, LPR observations, video, and related material.
Correlate sources, evaluate patterns of life, and document findings and limits.
Build integrated exhibits and explanatory slides, with testimony where retained.
Two ways to work with us
One coordinated team for technical questions, fieldwork, analysis, and courtroom explanation. Agree on the work and deliverables before it begins.
Meet to review the case, questions, and deadlines. Provide the relevant cellular records, social media, LPR observations, video, and other evidence.
We analyze and correlate the material, including pattern of life where supported, then build integrated maps, timelines, presentations and/or evidence video. Explanatory slides help judges and juries understand the technology, findings, and limits. Expert testimony is available within the agreed scope.
Work through developing cases with an experienced analyst. We review returned records, identify gaps, and help draft and review the technical language of search-warrant requests.
Act early: retention varies by provider and record type. We help identify preservation needs before data becomes unavailable. Preservation and disclosure are separate steps; counsel directs the legal process.
Our 12-month Agency Partner arrangement includes unlimited reasonable advisory access and six mutually designated analysis-to-trial case packages, usable throughout the year. Production for those cases follows the agreed scope. Additional or unusually complex work, vehicle examinations, and training require separate approval; field surveys follow the case scope. Availability and response expectations are agreed in advance.
