CDR Analysis for Attorneys: Save Time, Strengthen Your Case
How CDR Analysis Can Help Attorneys Win Cases: A Private Investigator’s Perspective
In today’s complex legal landscape, more attorneys are turning to Call Detail Record (CDR) analysis to uncover timelines, patterns, and connections that traditional discovery can’t provide. At Royal Palm Investigations, we specialize in translating raw, technical telecom data into court-ready evidence — saving attorneys time, reducing frustration, and strengthening case outcomes.
🔍 What Is CDR Analysis?
Call Detail Records are logs generated by telecom carriers that capture metadata from phone calls and texts. While they don’t include call content, they do show:
- Incoming and outgoing calls
- Call durations
- Cell tower connections
- Time and date stamps
- SMS activity
- Geographic movement via tower location data
When interpreted correctly, CDRs can reveal communication patterns, frequent contacts, and critical movement timelines — all of which can be vital in criminal, civil, and family law cases.
⚖️ Why Most Attorneys Struggle With CDRs
CDRs typically arrive as massive, unformatted spreadsheets filled with abbreviations and codes. For most legal teams, reviewing them is time-consuming, confusing, and outside their core skill set.
Attorneys often:
- Lack the technical expertise to decipher raw telecom data
- Don’t have time to build contact frequency reports or timelines
- Risk missing key connections that could help or hurt their case
That’s where we come in.

We provide a complete, end-to-end CDR analysis service, including:

✅ When to Use CDR Analysis
CDR evidence is especially valuable in:
- Criminal defense (timeline reconstruction, refuting contact claims)
- Civil litigation (harassment, stalking, or breach of contact)
- Family law (custody disputes, proving communication with third parties)
- Corporate investigations (employee misconduct or data breaches)
