Hi, I'm Willie Kerns, a Kentucky Technology Forensic Expert.

Yes—and in many cases, that digital evidence on cell phones and social media accounts can completely change the direction of a case. Whether it’s Snapchat, standard text messages, or other apps, deleted content and associated location data can often be recovered through forensic tools and analysis. I specialize in uncovering this kind of critical information—helping attorneys and clients build timelines, verify alibis, and challenge false claims.

If you're working on a case where mobile data could play a role, contact me as early as possible. Proper preservation of the device is essential to protecting the evidence.  Contact me before agreeing to any ESI protocol with opposing parties.

When your email account is breached, whether personal or business-related, the attacker almost always leaves behind digital fingerprints. As a cybersecurity and email forensics expert based in Kentucky, I analyze login logs, device IDs, masked IP addresses, email headers, and activity patterns to determine how the breach happened, what was accessed, and when.

In many cases, I uncover actionable clues about who’s behind the attack—whether it’s a disgruntled employee, organized cybercriminal group, or even a foreign nation-state actor. I’ve helped Kentucky businesses, law firms, and government agencies respond quickly and decisively to cyber incidents involving email breaches, ransomware, and insider threats.

Understanding the "how" and "who" is essential for containment, recovery, and—when necessary—building a case for legal action. If your business email, Microsoft 365 account, or Gmail was compromised, contact me immediately. Early response can make all the difference in what we’re able to preserve and uncover.

At SmartPath Technologies, I combine advanced digital forensics tools with real-world legal insight to handle complex eDiscovery services across Kentucky. I help law firms, businesses, and government entities sort through massive volumes of electronic data—emails, text messages, documents, PDFs, mobile data, chat logs, and cloud storage—and extract only what’s relevant and legally significant.

Whether you’re up against tight court deadlines, uncooperative opposing counsel, or don’t know how to begin collecting ESI (Electronically Stored Information), I make the process efficient, defensible, and crystal clear. I support civil litigation, criminal defense, and family law eDiscovery matters throughout Louisville, Lexington, Paducah, Bowling Green, and beyond.

If you're dealing with electronic discovery in Kentucky, don’t wait until data becomes overwhelming—contact me now to get ahead of the curve and protect your case.

As a leading Kentucky-based digital forensics and eDiscovery specialist, I use a powerful combination of professional-grade tools and national expertise to help attorneys, businesses, and government agencies get results. My toolbox includes industry-recognized platforms like Cellebrite, FTK, GoldFynch, eDisco, Autopsy, Microsoft Purview, Google Takeout, and a suite of open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools—designed to uncover deleted messages, hidden files, and critical metadata across devices and cloud platforms.

I also bring the strength of strategic partnerships with top cybersecurity and eDiscovery experts nationwide—including Galactic Advisors and CyberGuard 360. These alliances allow me to offer Kentucky clients access to advanced threat detection, incident response, and large-scale review solutions typically reserved for big city firms—while still delivering personal, hands-on service right here in Western Kentucky.

Whether you're handling a criminal defense in Lexington, investigating fraud in Owensboro, or preparing for litigation in Paducah, I provide clear, defensible digital evidence that stands up in court and gives your case an edge.

If you're looking for a proven forensic expert with national reach and Kentucky roots, contact me today. I proudly serve clients across Louisville, Bowling Green, Murray, and the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky.

In recent Kentucky employee data theft investigations, I’ve helped businesses uncover insider threats using advanced digital forensics and cyber investigation tools. One of the more unique cases involved an employee who forwarded sensitive client emails to their personal Gmail account, then deleted the messages and emptied the recycle bin in an attempt to cover their tracks.

Using system-level email artifacts, browser cache, and forensic imaging, I was able to recover the deleted evidence, including time stamps and recipient details. And when it came time for discovery, I worked with my client’s attorney to subpoena Google—verifying that the emails, along with attachments containing intellectual property (IP), had indeed reached the employee’s personal Gmail inbox. This not only confirmed the breach but also strengthened the legal position for further action.

I’ve also investigated:               
- Use of unauthorized USB drives to extract customer lists
- Employees uploading files to personal cloud accounts (Dropbox, Google Drive)
- Data exfiltration via messaging apps and CRM exports

If you're dealing with a suspicious employee, internal breach, or stolen data, I offer trusted insider threat investigations across Kentucky, serving businesses in Louisville, Lexington, Mayfield, Bowling Green, Benton, Owensboro, Paducah, and surrounding areas.
