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

Sat Aug 19 07:34:14 PDT 2023

While this does not directly answer the question asked, the CLC members should consider attending the UF E-Discovery program this year.

There is a virtual option and 14 FREE CLE hours -along with great content - completely free.

This is a link to last years program and I believe the 2024 program is already scheduled for February.

10th Annual UF Law E-Discovery Conference (ufediscoveryconference.com)<https://ufediscoveryconference.com/>

I have attended the last two years - and at least 1-2 hours have focused on construction law issues specifically.

Go Gators!

I presume/hope that upon confirmation of the shenanigans, a Bar complaint and permanent disbarment follow.

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

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...
