Evidence Analysis and Preparation


O’Connell & Associates is unique in the document management industry for our experience and ability in the area of evidence analysis. Our expertise extends beyond the management of documents. Legal teams and businesses rely on us to analyze the relevance and importance of documents and other evidence and to assist with case-building strategies. We can assist the attorneys in analyzing how the evidence may be best presented in the case.

Evidence Analysis and Preparation

Document Management and Control Issue Coding
We work with the legal team to identify the issues in a case and code documents accordingly in the database.
Document Management and Control Document Analysis
Documents are analyzed to extract important information which is then annotated in the database. Key elements in each document are highlighted and brought to the attention of the legal team.
Document Management and Control Uncovering New Causes of Action
We have the expertise to recognize new issues while analyzing documents. In the process of studying the evidence, potential new causes of action may become apparent and we promptly notify the legal team.
Document Management and Control Trial Exhibits
We assist the legal team in selecting documents to be used as trial exhibits. We can prepare the trial exhibit list from our database. Additional documents are maintained and reserved for impeachment or rebuttal.
Document Management and Control Case Position Analysis
To make a good case, the evidence must be strong. We work with the legal team to determine the relative value of certain positions in the case based on whether there is enough substantial evidence to support them.
Document Management and Control Subject Matter Modules
We can respond to a request by the legal team for all documents that pertain to an issue and prepare an issue-specific module. We utilize the database to search for the subject documents. An issue analysis report is prepared upon request, sourcing the supporting documents.
Document Management and Control Witness Depositions
To prepare for a witness deposition, we retrieve all documents and search all transcripts from the database for information relevant to that witness. This subset of documents is reviewed with the legal team to prepare the deposition exhibits. Deposition exhibit binders are maintained and the exhibits are incorporated into the case chronological document set. Deposition transcripts are incorporated into the database.
Document Management and Control Hearings
We have substantial experience assisting legal teams in preparing documents and evidence to support pretrial motions, from motions to dismiss to motions for summary judgement and/or adjudication.
Document Management and Control Post-Trial Motions and Appeals
We also have extensive experience in assembling evidence to support post-trial motions, appeals and assembly of the records on appeal. In preparing an appellate brief, we can assist the legal team by providing review of the supporting facts and the appropriate cites to the record.
