Q- How do you charge and how often?

Invoices are sent out at the beginning of the new month for the previous monthly work completed.  All invoices have a detailed log of the work performed.

We are available at any time to go over questions regarding an invoice. We accept check, wire transfer and credit card payment.

Q-  What is eDiscovery?

Discovery is a procedure in a legal case by which parties exchange evidence with the other side. ESI or Electronically Stored Information has many different formats including emails, electronic office documents, text messages, social media posts and many more. In a law suit or investigation these data sources contain potential evidence that may be subject to discovery. eDiscovery is the process of taking data from the source and helping you to find evidence. In the eDiscovery process, data will be identified, collected, processed, reviewed by attorneys and produced to the other side.

You can also call us at anytime at 617-329-9530. If your question is not time pressing, reach out direct to sking@dataminediscovery.com.

Q-  Why do I need to process my data before review?

Processing converts your data for quicker review and is an important step in assisting you to search and find the documents you are looking for. Electronic data comes in many forms. Converting the data allows you to open the files in one application instead of a separate application for each type of file. When dealing with so many file types, data processing will take the multitude of files and convert them into a single format for review. Data processing also help you to make the data searchable. Processing allows you to search the text of documents,  search meta data fields such as the email sent and received date and also run deduplication which removes identical files from your review. Without this step, analytics and technology assisted review would not be able to work. 

Q-  Can I use your eDiscovery Review platform and be my own project manger?

For the most part you can be in control of the project management. We help our clients with as much or as little support as needed. While we are here to be your project manger 100% of the time, we understand that some clients would like to create their own cases and process their own data. If this is the case, give us a call and we can show you how.

Q-  I have data to collect but I’m not sure on the next step. How can you help me?

We will do a complimentary call with you, your client or your client’s IT team to get the process started. We will help you ask the correct question to identify, collect, process, review and produce your data.
