ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELORS AT LAW

The firm has available for free downloading and use certain discovery forms for use in obtaining discovery information on computers and hard drives. These forms are made available free of charge, but with no warranty or representation. They are obviously general in form, and will need to be tailored specifically to fit the needs of the case in which you may wish to use them.

The forms include both state (Texas) and federal forms. Each corresponding form will have a *.frm and a *.df file--the *.frm file is the actual form in Wordperfect 5.1 format, and the corresponding *.df file is the data file in which you may enter the necessary data, and then perform a file merge under Wordperfect to produce the final product.

The forms are also available in ASCII text format, with the files showing a*.txt label.

Motion for Protective Order, to Preserve Documents

Protective Order with provisions for examination of computer hard drive by third parties retained by each party.

Please note that, in furnishing these forms, the firm is not encouraging non-lawyers to utilize them, and does not intend to furnish legal advice, since this can only be done in specific consultation with clients. Instead, these forms are intended for use by attorneys only, and as a public service.

The firm is very familiar with the types of issues involved in such discovery-related matters, and is available to assist you or your client on any such matters. Likewise, Digital Forensic Company, Inc., a company with which the firm has worked closely in connection with computer-related discovery, is a company which specializes in assisting attorneys in obtaining computer-related discovery information, such as retrieving erased or altered data from computer hard drives.
