Litigation Support

Litigation Support that is always Insightful, Resourceful, and Ethical.

  • Is the opposing party really who he says he is? Can we get information that will impeach his credibility as to background, conflicts of interest or other damaging information?
  • Former employees can help your case, but where are they? We will locate and interview them to see whether they could make favorable witnesses or just provide useful background information.
  • Expert witnesses can make or break a case. We have written on our blogs about the need to profile expert witnesses here as well as here.

CASE STUDY: PLAINTIFF FRAUD

A plaintiff was sued by a company for an alleged intellectual property violation and said that the violation had cost it millions in a lost contract. The party who broke the contract had a similar (but not exactly the same) surname as the plaintiff, but our client could not link them. We found that the two were brothers who spelled their names differently, and that the plaintiff had attempted similar lawsuits with previous companies in other states. He had been called a fraudster by other judges and had millions in outstanding judgments filed against him. Once confronted with our findings, he dropped his case and our client paid nothing. Our bill was $4,200.

CASE STUDY: WHO IS BEHIND THE DEFAMATORY WEBSITE?

A client came to us with a theory that a website defaming their company was secretly funded by one of their top three competitors. Through public records we were able to link a competitor and the website using real estate records (the website was funded by a charity based at the competing CEO’s residence) and through state-level lobbying records. Our bill for investigating the competitors and linking one to the website and the charity was $8,700.

CASE STUDY: MOB TIES?

A client came to us during a contract dispute with three individuals, two of whom he suspected of being linked to organized crime in Russia. He wanted us to confirm whether they could be tied to the mob. A press and database search revealed no direct evidence of any mob-related criminal activity, but databases did indicate that one of the men had served time in prison two decades before on weapons charges. Our bill was $6,000.
