Evidence work that holds up on the record.

Defensible productions, exhibits an expert can adopt, and technology that does not fail in the courtroom. Small firms litigate against vendor budgets ten times their size; we close that gap.

Where litigation support goes wrong

Most of the damage happens quietly, weeks before anyone notices. By the time opposing counsel raises it, the fix is expensive and the record is already made.

  • Productions with broken Bates ranges, missing attachments, or load files a review platform will not ingest
  • No provable chain of custody when the completeness of a production is challenged
  • Native email collections flattened into PDFs, severing parent-attachment relationships
  • Client data shipped out to third-party vendors and out of the firm’s control
  • Demonstratives built before the expert is engaged, and excluded because no one can testify to how they were made
  • Per-gigabyte vendor pricing that makes small-matter discovery uneconomical

How we work

We run the technical side of the matter the way a careful litigator would want it run: documented, reproducible, and defensible if it is ever put in front of a judge.

  • Processing on hardware you control, on premise or in your own tenant, not a vendor cloud
  • Every operation written to a tamper-evident audit trail with SHA-256 hashes
  • Deliverables that load cleanly into Relativity, Concordance, Everlaw, or Nextpoint on the first try
  • Demonstratives scoped, reviewed, and adopted by your expert before disclosure
  • Flat, matter-based pricing instead of per-gigabyte hosting meters
  • A quality-control report on every batch before anything leaves the building

eDiscovery & Document Production

A folder of collected material in; a complete, servable, Bates-stamped volume out. Families intact, duplicates documented, image-only PDFs OCR’d, and nothing silently missing from the range.

  • Ingestion of PST/OST mailboxes, MSG, PDF, Office documents, and images
  • Email family preservation across a continuous Bates range
  • SHA-256 dedup and near-duplicate suppression, with a duplicates report
  • OCR fallback plus per-document searchable text sidecars
  • Confidentiality endorsements (CONFIDENTIAL, AEO)
  • .DAT, .OPT, and .LFP load files for any major review platform
  • PDF or 300 dpi Group 4 TIFF, page-split or document-level
  • Date-range and custodian filtering, documented at processing time

Chain of Custody & Verification

A production is only as good as your ability to defend it later. Every batch writes a hash-chained audit log that cannot be edited without breaking the chain, and we re-verify on demand, byte for byte.

  • Tamper-evident, hash-chained audit log of the full run
  • Chain-of-custody certificate: custodian, range, counts, manifest hashes
  • Full tool fingerprint: every component and version recorded
  • Independent re-verification of any past production
  • QC report with Bates range cross-checked against page counts
  • Documentation fit for a cover letter or filed as an exhibit

Visual Demonstratives & Trial Exhibits

Geometry from evidence, not an artist’s impression. 3D anatomical exhibits segmented from the client’s own DICOM studies, built in the order that keeps them admissible: expert first, exhibit second.

  • 3D injury exhibits from the plaintiff’s own CT and MRI studies
  • Expert-directed: scoped, reviewed, adopted before disclosure
  • Segmentation log citing every source series and judgment call
  • Over-time sequences: injury, treatment, hardware, current state
  • Whole-body injury maps for polytrauma scale
  • Chronology and treatment-timeline graphics tied to record cites
  • Static renders, slow turntables, courtroom-ready formats
  • Exhibit scoping: the three that carry the story, not fourteen

Trial & Deposition Technology

The one week of the year where failure is unrecoverable. We bring the equipment, the exhibit database, and the operator, so your trial team argues the case instead of troubleshooting a display.

  • Courtroom setup with redundant equipment on site
  • Hot-seat operation: exhibits and clips on cue
  • Exhibit databases in TrialDirector, OnCue, or your platform
  • Depo video-to-transcript sync and designation clips
  • Remote and hybrid hearings with tested backup connectivity
  • Encrypted evidence handling in transit and at the courthouse
  • Pre-trial dry runs in the actual courtroom when permitted

How a production runs. Four stages, a checkpoint at each; nothing leaves until the QC report is clean.

STAGE / 01

Scope & Collect

Custodians, date ranges, Bates prefix, endorsements, and the format opposing counsel expects, defined before touching a file.

STAGE / 02

Process & QC

Ingestion, family grouping, dedup, OCR, rendering, and a report that surfaces failures before they become your problem.

STAGE / 03

Stamp & Produce

Continuous Bates with your endorsement, then the full package: images, text, load files, native slipsheets.

STAGE / 04

Deliver & Verify

A packaged volume with hash manifest and chain-of-custody certificate, re-verifiable for as long as the matter lives.
