Precision Discovery Expands Nationwide Practice with the Opening of Their DC Metro Area Office

NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Precision Discovery, a leader in electronic discovery and computer forensics services, announced today that the company has opened its first DC Metro Area office in order to better serve its growing list of regional and national clients.

With an existing national platform covering the East Coast, Southwest, Midwest, Southeast and West Coast, the DC Metro Area is a natural expansion of the firm's practice, serving some of the country's largest corporations, law firms, and government entities. Precision Discovery's new office is positioned to support Washington, DC; Northern Virginia's Technology Corridor; and the Bethesda/Silver Spring area.

Aaron Patton, a Director of eDiscovery, will head the DC Metro Area office. His background in complex litigation, eDiscovery consulting, and project management will be a resource for Precision Discovery's local, national and international clients. "I'm thrilled to be launching the DC Metro office of Precision Discovery," said Patton. "DC is a hub for eDiscovery technology development and education. As a growing firm with a national practice and list of clients, the DC area was the logical next step."

Mr. Patton will be working closely with the office's lead project manager, Jeff Hudson. Mr. Hudson is an experienced litigator and project manager who has worked on complex litigations with day-to-day responsibilities managing large-scale document reviews, as well as set-up and operations management for remote review projects.

"Jeff Hudson is a great addition to the Precision Discovery team," said President and CEO, Jerry Barbanel. "As a hands-on project manager and eDiscovery liaison, Jeff has tremendous insight into our clients' needs and ultimate goals. As a result, he is able to counsel clients on review efficiencies while keeping quality control and deadlines as his primary focus."
