Mobile Pattern-of-Life Analysis
Overview
Pattern-of-life analysis assembles a subject's routine — who they call, where they go, when they travel — from phone records, location history, app usage, and public digital traces. For attorneys, it produces powerful trial exhibits that show contradictions in testimony. For families dealing with elder fraud or at-risk relatives, it establishes whether unusual contacts or destinations have appeared. All data is obtained through lawful process: subpoena, discovery, or device-owner consent.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you obtain historical location and call data without the subject's consent?
Through lawful process. In civil cases, attorneys typically use subpoenas during discovery to compel carriers to produce CDRs and location records. We structure the request and analyze the results — working alongside counsel keeps everything admissible and within DPPA/GLBA boundaries.
Can pattern analysis prove infidelity?
It can provide strong circumstantial evidence — repeated overnight visits to an address, frequent contact with one individual, and routes that don't match the cover story. Combined with photographic surveillance, pattern analysis is often decisive in family-court matters.
