SOFTWARE

SUMMATION

Litigation support software that allows attorneys to effectively manage case information, including transcripts, documents, exhibits, and other electronic evidence, as well as manipulate this information throughout all stages of litigation. Every document or image which comes into the firm regarding a file is scanned in a searchable format and an image format, so that should there be an extensive amount of documents, one can locate a particular letter within a few seconds by typing in the appropriate search criteria. Once found, the image of that document can be read and/or reproduced immediately. If same is within a larger document, such as a deposition, then the rest of the deposition can also be read in conjunction with the particular passage or document that is being searched. Another example of how we use this software would be to determine what each of some fifteen witnesses said occurred on a specific date as to a specific incident, and then graphically compare same for the purpose of finding consistencies or inconsistencies. This is a very powerful piece of software typically used for large cases to permit immediate electronic access to the information and search large amounts of data in seconds for purposes of motions, cross-examinations, and other such trial procedures.

CASEMAP®

Litigation support software that allows attorneys to organize, evaluate and explore the facts, key individuals or witnesses, and the issues in a case by converting bland facts and issues into full color presentations for the courtroom and office use. CaseMap is software which tends to evaluate people, documents, evidence, and issues for settlement and/or trial purposes. It effectively creates a complete map of the cast of characters of a case, including all of the issues and evidence associated therewith.

TIMEMAP®

Timeline and graphing software which links to CaseMap® and converts the case information into visual presentations allowing attorneys, clients and the Court to clearly understand the facts in a graphic timeline. TimeMap presents a proportional time grid with the facts attached thereto. By looking at the visual of the timeline graph, one can quickly analyze cases as well as interpret same. By moving the fact boxes attached to the time grid to either side of the grid, one can compare the various positions to further analyze the progression of the case. This is a remarkable piece of software which visualizes the details involved in a case in a graphical format.

TEXTMAP®
