It's often difficult to produce data from computer media. Whether you are attempting to comply with a discovery order, analyzing data acquired during discovery, or simply conducting an investigation, the amount of email, email attachments, office documents, Internet browsing history, images etc. make the production process complicated, labor intensive, and expensive.

David Rismann Consultants believes that the most qualified individual to assist with document production is the forensic computer examiner. Here's why: the examiner is familiar with computer data, operating systems, application software, and email platforms. The examiner understands how to acquire the data in a forensically acceptable manner, how to examine the data and determine what needs to be produced, how to preserve valuable metadata and file properties, and how to produce the data in a format that is acceptable to attorneys and to the court.

When you hire David Rismann Consultants, the entire process - from acquisition to examination to production - is handled by one company.
