Arlington, Virginia · Washington DC, Maryland & Nationwide
Pro-Legal Services, Inc. provides forensic data collection services, digital forensics for law firms, and ESI collection for litigation, internal investigations, and regulatory matters. Every collection runs under documented chain of custody with forensic preservation and audit-ready reporting, because a collection that cannot be explained later is a collection that did not happen. Every collection is hash-verified, documented as it happens, and defensible years later by the person who ran it.
Sources We Collect From
Laptops, desktops, and servers. Mobile device forensics across phones and tablets. Email forensics and email collection. Microsoft Purview and Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Google Workspace and Slack. Enterprise SaaS applications. Network shares and legacy media. Remote and on-site collection, including after-hours and weekend work when a custodian cannot be taken offline during business hours. We run custodian interviews before collection rather than after, because the sources a custodian names in conversation are routinely not the sources on the IT inventory, and the gap between the two is where a motion to compel lives.
How We Work
Scoping first. Custodians added at the start multiply cost through every downstream phase, so we help narrow the collection before anyone touches a device. Targeted cloud collection where the matter allows it, rather than full forensic imaging by reflex. Forensic preservation with hash verification. Early case assessment, de-duplication, de-NISTing, date filtering, and domain exclusions applied before processing, so you are not paying to handle data nobody will read.
What You Get Back
A defensible collection with a documented methodology, a chain-of-custody record for every item, processing and load files built for your review platform, and a single named contact who can explain any step of it. We operate 24/7/365 for urgent preservation and rapid-response collections.
Collection is the first step. Pro-Legal also provides ESI processing and managed document review, AI document review for litigation, confidential business information redaction, and certified legal translation where the collection comes back in another language.
