Palm Beach venues and custodians
Where Palm Beach evidence usually sits
SDFL West Palm Beach division

Fifteenth Judicial Circuit (Palm Beach County)
Palm Beach County civil, probate, and complex business matters sit at the Palm Beach County Judicial Center. Probate court is a significant venue for high-net-worth estate matters where the technical questions and evidence sources match GDF's practice scope.
Family office and private-wealth firms
The Palm Beach corridor concentrates family offices, trust companies, and private-wealth firms. Technical work supports internal review, employment and trade-secret matters, and civil disputes over data or intellectual property, all under a documented chain of custody.
Condominium and HOA disputes
Palm Beach and Broward condominiums and homeowners associations generate matters that touch access systems, camera archives, board communications, and management platform records. Preservation is scoped to the specific period at issue rather than a broad sweep.
Palm Beach practice notes
How the work actually goes in Palm Beach
High-net-worth probate and estate matters
Probate and estate matters in Palm Beach typically pull in mailbox archives, closely held business records, trust accounting platforms, custodian statements, personal device data, and personal cloud accounts. Preservation is scoped to the beneficiaries, entities, and time period at issue. Where a document authenticity dispute is present, the technical record covers the native file, the storage location metadata, and, where available, the platform-side audit trail so the record supports the analysis rather than depending on inference.
Closely held business disputes
Closely held business disputes in Palm Beach often involve mixed personal and business use of the same accounts and devices. Preservation is scoped to the business-related records at issue and documented so a court can see what was and was not captured. Where a departing owner or officer is at issue, USB and file-transfer artifacts, personal cloud synchronization, and repository activity are examined in context with the person's role and workflow.
Boca Raton corporate and tech corridor
Boca Raton hosts technology, biotech, and corporate operators with a full modern stack: Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, Slack or Teams, cloud infrastructure with a wide IAM surface, and enterprise SaaS for finance, HR, and operations. Preservation captures the identity provider, the tenant audit log, endpoint telemetry, and the SaaS records the matter reaches so the technical record supports counsel's scope.
