Since its founding in 2019, Metafor LLC has specialized in data and metadata forensics. We decode digital data to resolve questions involving electronic evidence. We excel at uncovering forgery and tampering within electronic documents and communications, and in reconstructing detailed timelines from activity on computers, mobile devices, networks, and cloud platforms. Based in New York City, Metafor is led by Mike McGowan.
Mike McGowan has been at the forefront of applying technology, digital forensics, data and statistical analyses, and investigative skills to resolving issues involving electronic data for over 20 years. He has examined computers, mobile phones, and other electronic devices in both routine cases and cases in which many millions of dollars or people’s freedom have hinged on what was uncovered on the devices. Prior to founding Metafor, Mike worked at Stroz Friedberg where he supervised the digital forensic lab at the firm’s headquarters.
