Westchester coverage
Working in Westchester
Westchester carries a substantial corporate footprint: financial services, pharmaceuticals, professional services and family offices with primary operations in White Plains, Purchase and Rye Brook. Residential matters commonly involve high-net-worth families and closely-held businesses. In both categories, the evidence sits in Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, small-ERP or accounting systems, mobile devices and cloud backups.
For Westchester matters, examiners are dispatched from the Manhattan intake at (212) 561-5860. On-site collections are performed at counsel offices in White Plains, at corporate campuses across the county and at private residences where the record requires it.

Westchester practice notes
How the work actually goes in Westchester
White Plains and Purchase corporate footprint
Corporate headquarters in White Plains, Purchase and Rye Brook carry a broad evidence profile: Microsoft 365 tenants with Entra ID identity, mid-size ERP systems (NetSuite, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics 365), EDR products and a mix of line-of-business SaaS accounts. Preservation and collection follow the same discipline as Manhattan corporate matters.
Family office and high-net-worth residential
Family office and high-net-worth residential matters commonly involve personal devices, personal cloud accounts, home network equipment and, increasingly, cryptocurrency wallets and hardware devices. Where cryptocurrency is part of the record, preservation includes wallet-file preservation and, where the matter requires it, on-chain analysis to trace transactions.
Surrogate's Court practice
For high-net-worth probate and estate matters in the Westchester Surrogate's Court, forensic work supports reconstruction of digital assets, authentication of disputed documents and communications, and preservation of records from the decedent's devices and accounts. Where a will or trust document is disputed, document authentication may draw on metadata analysis, printer forensics and, where the document was signed electronically, e-signature platform audit trails.
