Our discipline

When suspicion is not enough, evidence matters.

Outcomes in the Magistrates Court, Family Court and police investigations turn on what can be proven — not what is suspected. We build evidence the way a court reads it: timestamped, continuous, lawfully obtained, and explained in plain English.

Domestic Violence & Coercive Control Evidence

Coercive control is criminalised in Queensland. We document the patterns — surveillance breaches, location leaks, account compromise, stalkerware, AirTags — that turn a story into evidence.

  • DVO breach surveillance and documentation
  • Stalkerware and shared-account detection
  • AirTag and GPS tracker analysis
  • Pattern-of-behaviour timeline mapped to QLD law
