I helped attorneys and their clients navigate the technical and intricate processes of e-discovery in cost-effective and efficient ways, with a thorough knowledge of federal and state rules of civil procedure, technology, and the e-discovery process.I have more than 20 years experience as a litigator and trial attorney; I how to assess, build, and resolve cases to the satisfaction of clients in challenging legal matters. Throughout my career I have had a keen and abiding interest in the discovery phase of lawsuits and investigations, and have focused on e-discovery since its origins in the early 2000s. My interest in discovery started when I clerked for a United States Magistrate Judge. There I learned how crucial discovery was to the merits of a case, how pursuing the right strategy could pave the way to a successful resolution, and how the wrong strategy could derail a case, sometimes regardless of the merits. My interest continued to grow throughout my career as a partner in large and small firms and as an e-discovery consultant. The process has evolved from a paper based process to a digital one, and I understand how digital technology has forever changed the role that discovery has in modern litigation. Developing my ability to hone the discovery process has allowed me to increase the positive impact of this phase of a case while making it less costly and more efficient.
