Evidence for Counsel

    Preserve Instagram evidence for lawyer review

    Instagram harassment and impersonation matters move fast: comments get deleted, accounts get renamed, and profile history disappears. Finium Legal captures the public post, comment thread, account-change history and timestamps as a structured file prepared for lawyer review. Counsel decides what the record supports.

    What the firm sends

    01

    Public profile URL and account handle

    02

    Specific post, story or comment URLs where available

    03

    A description of the harassment or impersonation pattern

    04

    Any prior reports already filed with Instagram

    What comes back

    01

    Post and comment chronology

    Flagged posts and comments captured with source link, timestamp and surrounding context, ordered into a timeline.

    02

    Account-change log

    Handle, display-name and bio changes tracked over time, so a renamed or since-edited account does not lose its history.

    03

    Custody record

    Capture time, source, hash and export version for each item, so the file’s handling stays traceable.

    04

    Structured export for lawyer review

    A single file the instructing firm can open, assess and use in its own matter management, not a court filing.

    Limitations

    • Finium Legal captures public-source material; it does not access private messages without lawful authorization.
    • The evidence file is prepared for lawyer review. Counsel, not Finium, decides how the record is used and what it supports.
    • Finium does not submit reports to Instagram, file anything with a court, or promise a removal or case outcome.
    • Deleted content captured earlier can be preserved; content deleted before Finium is engaged generally cannot be recovered.

    Frequently asked

    Can Instagram comments be used as evidence for a lawyer to review?

    Yes, when captured with a source link, a timestamp and enough surrounding context to place the comment. That structure is what a Finium evidence file adds to a plain screenshot.

    What happens if the account changes its name or deletes posts?

    At the agreed cadence, captures can record handle, display-name and bio changes observed during scoped checks, and earlier captures are preserved, so a rename or deletion after capture does not erase the record.

    Does Finium submit anything to Instagram or a court on the client’s behalf?

    No. Finium prepares the evidence file for lawyer review. The instructing firm decides whether to file a platform report, a demand letter, or a court filing.

    What if the matter involves intimate images?

    Intimate-material matters are handled through a separate counsel-authorized procedure, with no uploads and no intimate media through the standard intake form.

    How fast can capture start after a firm engages Finium?

    Capture typically begins within the confirmed handling scope communicated at intake; earlier engagement generally preserves more of an account’s history.

    What does the delivered file contain?

    A chronology of flagged posts and comments, an account-change log, source links and timestamps, a custody record, and, where scoped, harm classification and evidence-file handoff for counsel to assess.
