Why would an Attorney use the services of a discovery/forensic audit company?
The research and analysis required to come up with a grounded opinion about your ability to go forward with your litigation is quite complex and it requires investigating great numbers of documents from many different specialized fields ( i.e. mortgage, real estate, county recorders). This is best performed by somebody who specializes solely on this area of expertise; just the same way an attorney would hire a physician as an expert witness or a CPA to act as a consultant in calculating damages. Many attorneys including your consulting attorney will hire these types of third party providers to enhance his service to your eventual advantage and benefit.
