Aether Law, PLLC

-Aether Law, PLLC -

As a licensed attorney and professional investigator based in Michigan, I specialize in providing attorneys with the expertise they need to unlock the potential of digital evidence in their cases. With years of experience and a proven track record, I’m here to help you uncover the critical details that can make the difference in negotiating and the courtroom.

I partner exclusively with attorneys to:

-- Demystify Digital Evidence: From social media activity and cell phone data to GPS tracking and cloud storage, I help you understand what digital evidence is available, where to find it, and how to access it legally and effectively. Whether it’s identifying the location and time of key events or analyzing metadata, I break down complex technical information into clear, actionable steps.

-- Analyze and Interpret: With my background in digital forensics, I don’t just gather data—I interpret it in the context of your case. This includes examining communication timelines, tracing online activities, mapping movements, and connecting digital footprints to real-world events. My goal is to provide you with insights that strengthen your case and anticipate potential challenges.

--Develop Tailored Strategies: No two cases are alike, and neither are the approaches I take. I work closely with you to understand your specific needs and develop customized strategies for collecting, analyzing, and presenting digital evidence. From subpoenas to expert testimony, I’ll ensure every step aligns with your goals.

Strategize for Court: I’ve been qualified as an expert in Michigan’s Circuit Court, and I can guide you in presenting digital evidence persuasively. This includes creating clear and compelling visual aids, drafting expert reports, and providing testimony that effectively communicates technical findings to judges and juries.

Experience

I have assisted attorneys with:

-- Criminal defense: including multilple homicides and drug trafficking charges-- Civil contract disputes
-- Divorce and child custody-- Appeals

Every case is unique, but one constant remains: the importance of digital evidence in building a compelling narrative.

Born in Texas and raised out West, I pursued my legal education at Michigan State University College of Law. I eventually made my way to the Traverse City area, where I married a local and immersed myself in the community. My journey into the intersection of law and technology began in 2015, when I was hired as an intern to assist in prosecuting an individual charged with multiple life offenses. One of my earliest tasks involved examining 18 devices containing over 100 GB of data. My analysis played a pivotal role in securing multiple convictions across two counties.
With nearly 30 years of experience working with PCs, starting from the days of DOS Shell, I’ve developed a deep understanding of computer systems and digital forensics. Today, I combine my expertise as an attorney with my passion for technology to offer clients unparalleled access to digital evidence and innovative strategies to leverage it effectively.

TESTIMONIALS

"I contacted Aether Law to perform extractions on two phones belonging to opposing parties in a civil lawsuit.  It was a somewhat complicated case, and the opposing parties were, to put it mildly, rather difficult.  Aether Law did the extractions quickly and effectively and added great value to the case.  Perhaps just as importantly, Aether Law was detailed, timely, and very accessible which was critical to the outcome of the case given the timelines that existed.  I recommend Aether Law’s services to anyone that needs an extraction done well, done quickly, and at a reasonable price."
                     - Robert Whims, Traverse City Attorney

"I retained Aether Law to provide expert testimony in connection with a motion to determine the validity of a purported trust document in a complex divorce matter. Tristan conducted a review of pdf documents to determine if there were any digital artifacts or other observations regarding the form of the purported trust that would aid in the Court’s determination regarding the document’s veracity. Tristan was qualified as an expert in the field of digital forensics and provided clear, concise testimony regarding his observations, which played a critical role the Court’s findings in our favor. Tristan is extremely knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Aether Law to anyone in need of a consultation and/or expert testimony relating to digital artifacts or information."
