If you believe a case has gone wrong, we help you understand the forensic evidence and identify exactly where to focus your challenge.
Families and defendants facing a criminal case — especially one involving forensic evidence — are often handed complex scientific reports, dense expert statements, and technical terminology that few outside the profession are equipped to interpret.
Solicitors do their best, but a full forensic case review is expensive and time-consuming. The result? Critical evidence goes unchallenged, the wrong questions get asked, and opportunities to identify genuine weaknesses in the case are missed.
This service exists to bridge that gap: a structured, independent forensic screening by a qualified expert, at a fraction of the cost of a full case review.
Technical language leaves families unable to evaluate what the evidence actually proves — or fails to prove.
You sense something is wrong but don't know what to ask, or how to ask it, at a legal appointment.
Concerns that gaps in the forensic record — untested samples, missing controls — have not been adequately scrutinised.
Without a clear forensic picture, legal teams may pursue lines of argument that the evidence does not support.
A clear, plain-language summary of the key forensic issues raised by your case materials — what the evidence shows, and what it does not.
Identification of areas where evidence appears weak, incomplete, or open to credible alternative interpretation — the points that warrant further attention.
A targeted list of questions to raise with your solicitor or instruct your own expert witness to investigate further.
A concise professional opinion on whether the forensic evidence base merits a more detailed independent review, and why.
Provide basic case details — charge type, stage of proceedings, jurisdiction — and upload your key documents: the charge sheet, forensic reports, and any case summary you have. You do not need every document to begin.
Our AI-assisted system organises your case materials and generates a draft forensic analysis, flagging areas of potential concern and framing the key evidential questions.
A specialist forensic consultant reviews, refines, and approves the draft before your completed screener report is emailed to you — typically within 7–10 working days of document receipt.

"The Rapid Forensic Case Review gave our family clarity when we needed it most. For the first time, we understood what the evidence actually meant in our loved one's case."
"We were completely overwhelmed by the forensic reports. The rapid review picked out the key issues and explained them in plain language, which helped us ask our solicitor the right questions."
"This service saved us precious time and emotional energy. It quickly highlighted weaknesses in the evidence and gave us a clearer picture of where we stood."
"Even though it was a fast turnaround, the review felt very detailed and careful. It gave our family confidence about the next steps and showed us things we hadn't realised were important."
"As a family with no scientific background, we were lost. The Rapid Forensic Case Review made everything easier to understand and helped us feel less powerless in the process."
All reviews are conducted independently and without connection to police or prosecution services.
You do not need a complete set of documents to begin. Submit what you have — a charge sheet, a case summary, or even a partial report — and we will work with what you provide. We will indicate in the screener which areas we were unable to assess fully and what additional material would be helpful.
Focus on the core documents: the main forensic report or reports, the charge sheet or indictment, and any expert statement you have received. A clear, brief summary of your specific concerns is also very helpful. You do not need to send every piece of correspondence — quality and relevance matter more than volume.
The Rapid Forensic Case Screener is not a formal expert report for court proceedings. However, if the screener identifies significant forensic issues, we can discuss whether a full independent case review — which can produce a court-admissible expert report — would be appropriate for your situation.
Yes. Our obligation is to the evidence, not to confirming what you hope to hear. If the forensic material appears sound and does not present credible grounds for challenge, we will say so clearly and explain our reasoning. Honest, independent assessment is the whole point of this service.
All information you submit is treated as strictly confidential. We do not share case details with any third party without your explicit consent. Our systems are Data Protection Compliant and documents are stored securely. Please see our Privacy Notice for full details.
No. The screener identifies potential areas of forensic concern and provides an independent analytical perspective — it cannot predict how a court, appeal tribunal, or review body will respond to any challenge. We will always give you a realistic, honest assessment of what we find.
We screen cases across a wide range of forensic evidence types, including DNA, digital forensics, toxicology, contact trace evidence, bloodstain pattern analysis, and more. Cases involving sexual offences, serious assault, homicide, and historical convictions are all within scope. If you are unsure whether your case is suitable, contact us before submitting.
Absolutely. Many clients use the screener as a cost-effective first step before deciding whether to commission a full independent review. If we recommend further work, we will outline what that would involve and provide a clear quote.
Everything you share with Veritas Forensic Advisors is treated as strictly confidential. We comply fully with data protection law and will never share your case details with any third party without your explicit consent.
All documents are transmitted and stored using encrypted, secure systems. You may request deletion of your data at any time. For full details, please see our Privacy Notice.
