How it works

From incident to exhibit in four steps.

Family Evidence turns chaotic evidence collection into a streamlined, court-ready workflow.

01

Client captures evidence

Incidents documented instantly

Your client downloads the Family Evidence app and logs incidents in real time. Photos, videos, screenshots, and voice memos — all captured with embedded metadata and GPS coordinates.

  • Mobile app for iOS and Android
  • Offline capture with sync when connected
  • Automatic metadata preservation
  • Voice memos for context

Step 01

02

Evidence auto-authenticated

Cryptographic security applied instantly

The moment evidence uploads, our system generates a SHA-256 hash, obtains an RFC 3161 timestamp, and begins chain-of-custody logging. No manual steps required.

  • SHA-256 cryptographic hash
  • RFC 3161 trusted timestamp
  • Chain of custody initiated
  • AI content detection scan

Step 02

03

Attorney reviews and organizes

Full control over case evidence

Access your dashboard to review new evidence, organize by category, add notes for trial, and collaborate with your team. Every action is logged for the custody chain.

  • Case-based organization
  • Attorney notes and annotations
  • Team collaboration tools
  • Evidence categorization

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

How quickly can I get started?

You can create an account and invite your first client in under 5 minutes. The mobile app is available immediately, and evidence begins authenticating the moment it's uploaded.

Do my clients need to be tech-savvy?

Not at all. The mobile app is designed for simplicity — clients just tap to capture photos, videos, or voice memos. Everything else happens automatically in the background.

What if evidence is captured offline?

The app stores evidence locally with embedded capture-time metadata. When connectivity returns, everything syncs automatically while preserving the original timestamps.

How do I know the authentication is legally sound?

We use SHA-256 hashing (the same standard used by banks and governments) and RFC 3161 timestamps from DigiCert, a globally trusted Time Stamping Authority. These methods are recognized by courts worldwide.

Can opposing counsel verify the authentication?

Yes — that's the point. Every export includes hash values and timestamp certificates that can be independently verified using standard tools. Transparency builds trust with the court.
