President COMPUTRONICS

Randall has been involved in Information Technology for thirty-three years and has owned a computer service company since 1991.  He got into computer forensics by doing data recovery for businesses and individuals involved in civil cases but then got into criminal cases with expert testimony in the case of State vs Watkinson in 2002.  He presented that case as a CLE faculty to the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (WACDL) and was immediately sought after as a computer expert in criminal defense.  Since then he has presented two more WACDL seminars and worked as a computer expert on forty-eight criminal cases (from employee theft to murder), fifteen civil cases and one bankruptcy case testifying in court ten times.  He is a beta tester for AccessData, a partner with Kroll Ontrack Forensics and member of the Computer Technology Investigator’s Network in Washington State.  His experience as a computer forensic expert in civil (both plaintiff and defense) and criminal cases adds a unique perspective to the computer forensic challenges which businesses could face.
