E-Discovery

The Law Office of David B. Willis provides E-Discovery services to both clients and law firms.

Today’s E-Discovery practice is a full time commitment. Increasingly large firms are developing E-Discovery groups and task forces to focus on just these issues. For small and mid-sized law firms, the expense of maintaining an E-Discovery attorney on staff that is familiar with this constantly changing area of law is often not an option.

Failing to understand and implement proper E-Discovey procedures can lead to a variety of problems including missed evidence, chain of custody issues, spoliation, authentication problems at trial, monetary sanctions, adverse inferences, and default judgment. Without a thorough understanding of E-Discovery best practices, it is impossible to verify the accuracy and quality of an opposing party’s production of ESI.

My office provides a solution that allows your firm to focus on its strengths. My involvement varies based on your needs and can run from a single E-Discovery issue to organizing and maintaining the entire E-Discovery process for your case. No matter the level of my involvement, I will work with your firm as a team for your client’s success.
