Subject: [CLC-Discussion] Referral Needed: Expert Regarding Forensic Authenticity of Electronic Documents/Files

EXTERNAL EMAIL - Please Handle Cautiously
Anyone had occasion or need to use an expert to forensically evaluate and testify regarding the authenticity of electronic documents? We have a case going to trial next month in which the opposing party has recently produced electronic documents (PDFs) that, upon scrutiny, have clearly been fabricated or "doctored":

  *   One is a subcontract created in Word-by our opposing counsel, no less-a day before its production, in which he screenshotted signatures onto it from another subcontract.
  *   Twenty-one others are Home Depot invoices to which he (or his client or someone else) added (or in which he changed) a reference to the subject project in the invoices' "Job Description" field, i.e., in order to falsely make it appear that the invoiced materials were delivered to the subject project (when our contention is that they were not).

Obviously, our opposing counsel is not a member of this committee or list, so we have no compunction against floating this request here.

Let us know of any referrals/recommendations...
