Mr Tiernan Coyle

The only forensic provider in the UK specialising in forensic fibre examination for both prosecution and defence sectors within the criminal justice system. Offering a tailor made service for legal professionals in the criminal defence sector, we are a defence forensic provider that can re-analyse fibres using our own state of the art equipment and facilities. Our uniquely specialist approach has been very successful in a number of cases where the re-analysis of fibres has formed a critical part of the defence. Unlike many of our competitors, we are accredited to ISO 17025 for forensic fibre examination, the Forensic Regulator's recommended standard. Notable cases for the defence include the case of Stephen Lawrence and Abdul Basset Al Megrahi (the Lockerbie bomber). Contact Traces was founded by Tiernan Coyle in 2006 and performs in excess of one hundred fibre cases per year.
