Digital Forensics Expert Witness
CEO, The Waldrep Company · U.S. State Dept. ATA Cyber Mentor
17 years of digital forensics. 27 years of law enforcement. 200+ cases in federal and state courts. Never disqualified.
Eric founded The Waldrep Company in 2007 to provide court-qualified digital forensics examinations, expert witness testimony, and litigation support. He has completed 200+ engagements in criminal, civil, and corporate matters across federal and state jurisdictions, and has never been disqualified as an expert witness under Daubert or Frye standards.
His investigative career includes service on the U.S. Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force, the FBI’s Innocent Images Task Force, and the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force — building the investigative instincts, evidence-handling discipline, and child-protection focus that shape GOSET’s mission today.
