Forensic Pathways can provide an unrivalled and unique source of forensic science expertise to organisations across the criminal justice system. Due to our range and calibre of expertise and true focus on our customer’s needs we can offer an impartial and independent consultancy service.
Our team of consultants have all worked for either major forensic science providers or Police services worldwide and therefore have a thorough understanding of both the prosecution and defence side of a criminal case. The level of expertise means that Forensic Pathways can help to ensure the provision of safe and sustainable forensic science evidence in court.
Our consultants will provide expert advice across a wide range of both criminal and civil cases involving the full spectrum of forensic evidence types, including some very specialised areas.

A thorough and critical review of cases and case files:
assess the interpretation of the exhibits examined and any ensuing scientific tests within the context of the circumstances of both the event and subsequent investigation
