Frequently asked questions
Is a WhatsApp screenshot valid evidence in Mexico?
It can be offered, but on its own it is easy to challenge because it does not show where it came from or whether it was altered. A forensic examination of the original device or conversation documents its origin, integrity and context.
What should I do with the phone or computer in the meantime?
Do not delete, edit or forward the messages or files; stop using the device where possible, do not reset it or send it for repair, and write down who has had it and since when.
Can you help if the hearing is in a few days?
Say so in the assessment and message us on WhatsApp as well. The time a report takes depends on the evidence and the analysis, so we cannot promise a date before reviewing the case.
Can we hire our own expert if the prosecutor already has one?
Yes. Parties may offer their own expert evidence, and when an analysis cannot be repeated the defense must be notified so its expert can attend or take part (National Code of Criminal Procedure, art. 274).
