Attorney Thomas R. Houlihan Granted Certification As A Certified Computer Examiner

The law firm of Amer Cunningham Co., L.P.A. is pleased to announce Thomas R. Houlihan has been granted the Certified Computer Examiner (CCE) certification. The CCE certification is administered by the International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners, a body which reviews the training and skill of computer examiners, and administers a multi-part practical test.  The CCE certification means that Mr. Houlihan has demonstrated his understanding of the forensic process of extraction of data from a variety of electronic and computer devices using sound, repeatable and testable methods. 

Mr. Houlihan is one of less than 900 persons worldwide to obtain this certification, and one of only a handful of attorneys nationwide.  Because Mr. Houlihan is also an attorney, he is uniquely able to evaluate and administer not only the forensic extraction of electronic evidence but also its ultimate admissibility and utility in court proceedings. 

“Understanding how a computer utilizes, stores, and retrieves data is valuable for a variety of purposes, and is becoming an issue in more and more litigation.  Common questions are arising in court proceedings concerning the validation of e-mails, chat logs, images and other documents found on computers,” remarked Mr. Houlihan.  “I got the training and did the testing because I had to develop a base-level understanding of these matters to be effective in my own practice.” 

“Now that Mr. Houlihan has obtained this specialized certification in computer forensics, it propels him to a unique level in the legal field,” states Mr. Jack Morrison, Jr., President of Amer Cunningham Co., LPA.  “We are pleased he is certified and available to consult with judges, lawyers, and law firms in the area of e-discovery and computer forensics,” added Mr. Morrison.

The law firm of Amer Cunningham Co., L.P.A. practices in the area of business and corporate law; real estate law; civil litigation; employment law; business litigation; tax law; health care law; labor law; estate planning, probate & trusts; banking and commercial lending; workers’ compensation; and government, public, and municipal law.
