Targeted message collections can include SMS, iMessage, and WhatsApp.
Follow a targeted collectionSTART WITH THE MATTER
Sometimes counsel needs phone evidence, but a full collection is broader than the matter calls for. Scope and privacy concerns belong in that first conversation.
A more focused option when the matter calls for something narrower.
MANAGED COLLECTIONSCollection request
“My client is concerned about his privacy. Can we limit this collection to messages and calls?”
A focused collection for the matter.
AGREE IT BEFORE COLLECTION
Choose calls, messages, contacts, or all three. In this example, calls and messages are selected. Contacts stay outside the delivered scope.
Targeted messages can include SMS, iMessage and WhatsApp.

THE RIGHT SCOPE FOR THE MATTER
MARA handles the technology and coordination. You decide the scope with us.
BROADER SCOPE
For matters requiring the broader available phone collection.
Collect the broader supported device dataset when a full collection is appropriate for the matter.
SELECTED CATEGORIES
Choose one or more supported categories when the requested scope is narrower.
Targeted collection limits the delivered dataset to the selected supported categories, with the supporting files needed for those artifacts. Available content depends on the device and collection method.

See how the service worksCOLLECTION WITHOUT THE TRAVEL BILL
A remote phone collection shouldn’t require flying a team across the country, shipping a kit, or paying for someone to wait onsite.
With MARA’s guided remote service, the custodian stays where they are and we work remotely. Your team avoids the travel arrangements, equipment shipments, and onsite waiting that can add cost to a collection.
