I was honored to chat with Tom O’Connor and Rachi Messing recently. They have an interview series on the eDiscovery Channel where their guests share how they got started in this industry. There are over 30 case studies on this site about people’s journeys in our industry, but this is the first time I have…
Have you ever stopped to think about the significant people in your life? Do you find that you are so busy living your life, going through the daily, weekly, monthly routine of managing work and/or family expectations, that you sometimes neglect to acknowledge those significant people that have touched your heart in some way? Like many of…
This article is difficult for me to write, but I want to share this with all of you (I teared up just typing the article title). On Christmas Day, I was skimming through my Facebook news feed. I saw a post from a young man I don’t know sharing that this is his first Christmas without…
I celebrated my birthday a few days ago. Four years ago, I launched LitigationSupportGuru.com on my birthday. When I reflect back on the past four years, I am proud of the impact this site has had on so many individuals. I have met some wonderful people that I would not have met otherwise. I have…
Two people. Both have worked in litigation support for many years. They live about 9,800 miles apart. They have a 14 hour time difference between them. They met online. No, not on one of those dating sites — they met because of this Litigation Support Guru site. One of the most wonderful things about starting this site…
I received this question in my email inbox in response to my email entitled “What Would You Ask?” Cathy asked me, “If you had to do it all over again, would you? If the answer is yes, what would you do differently?” Wow, what a question, right? Cathy mentioned that she has been in the legal…

It is Thursday. I am sitting in Dallas, in the Galleria mall, outside of Starbucks, with a view of the ice skating rink below. I am staying at the Westin Galleria. Interestingly, my husband is upstairs in the room working remotely, trying to get a production out the door. He works in litigation support too. I…
Two years ago, on September 12, LitigationSupportGuru.com went live. It was also my birthday. I’ll never forget how excited I was. I would like to thank all of the people who have spread the word about Litigation Support Guru to friends, colleagues and newbies. I also want to thank those that left comments over the…
Wow, we’re beginning another new year in the litigation support and electronic discovery industry. The good news is that the industry is still very strong and there are plenty of opportunities for newbies to join and thrive. I was lucky enough to take two weeks vacation at the end of the year. I am returning…
Last week I was on the phone chatting with my friend, Shimmy (Shimmy is the guy in the video with me). We were talking about football and more specifically, I was talking about my Philadelphia Eagles. I was explaining to Shimmy that I am disappointed in my team this year because they are so inconsistent….
Today is my wedding anniversary. It is marriage number 2 for me. I married Kel (short for Kelbert) 4 years ago on August 8, 2008. The date was a suggestion by a dear friend of mine, Margaret Havinga. She thought it would be cool to have an anniversary date of 08/08/08 and apparently the Chinese…
I have been working in litigation support a long time and one of the interesting things about the field is where the firm or service provider decides to locate the litigation support team. For years, our team was located near the Records Department and our team had cubicle workstations in one room with no windows….
Running a litigation support department can be similar to being an entrepreneur. Many of the managerial aspects are the same. There is definitely a marketing component for both. Providing excellent service to our clients is not any different than running a business and retaining clients. There are even some litigation support service providers that are…
On leap day, February 29, 2012, I attended my first Supreme Court Argument. Working in Washington DC does have it benefits. There are so many historical buildings in our midst. The law firm where I work has a well respected appellate practice in addition to many impressive litigators. About 4 months ago, I was talking…
