Taught ediscovery at the law school level; lectured in computer forensics at the graduate level..

My philosophy is: "Ediscovery is not a technical issue; it's a legal issue with a technical solution."

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.
