Consulting attorney with deep experience in ediscovery, digital forensics, and electronic trials. EnCase Certified Examiner (EnCE) in digital forensics. Over 38 years in the field of litigation technology.

Supervised forensic investigations and ediscovery projects in hundreds of disputes involving data theft, falsified evidence, spoliation, unauthorized access, SEC investigations, pharmaceutical patents, computer and integrated circuit technologies, software development, copyright infringement, domain name disputes, and other civil and criminal litigation matters. Provided affidavits, expert reports, and testimony in state and federal courts. Conducted electronic evidence presentations (hotseat) in over 30 trials.

Consulted with clients on business issues relating to ediscovery best practices, litigation preparedness, proper handling and storage of electronic business records, document retention policies, and technology risk assessments. Conducted over 50 public CLEs and hundreds of private CLEs on ediscovery and forensics best practices. Taught ediscovery at the law school level; lectured in computer forensics at the graduate level.

Clients have included law firms, technology companies, pharmaceutical companies, financial services companies, insurance companies, manufacturing companies, construction companies, government agencies, and universities.

My philosophy is: "Ediscovery is not a technical issue; it's a legal issue with a technical solution." Questions of scope and cost should be in the hands of the supervising attorneys, not the technicians. Technology serves the legal process rather than driving it. I can provide the expertise necessary to empower other attorneys to manage ediscovery and forensics projects as an integral part of the practice of law.
