Please help me respond to a charge of violating trademark rights.

I run a company that manufactures baking machines. A few years ago, at the request of an acquaintance, I made and sold baking machines bearing the trademark that the acquaintance was using.

Will the level of punishment be very high?

Would forensic recovery be possible?

I suspect my spouse of infidelity, but the text messages and photos exchanged in the past have all been deleted from the phone.

I would also like to know whether the material recovered in this way can be used as evidence to prove the infidelity in court.
