A.I. Assisted, Human Verified.
Your work is deadline driven. I get it. I produce A.I. assisted, human verified, affordable case deliverables for litigators and their retained expert witnesses with clearly stated turnaround times.
Trust but Verify, and Never be Outworked.
I make sense of your case related source records. The core product is a hyperlinked document chronology, whereby every relevant fact is instantly verifiable. I also produce supporting analyses with regard to motion practice and report drafting, as well as live proceeding preparation. My work spans all aspects of civil litigation, with an emphasis on medical and healthcare disputes, in which argued fact patterns and opinions built on a well-sourced clinical record are required in order to be credible.
Finding the right medical expert and confirming they will hold up before you retain them. The work starts by matching the medical question to the correct subspecialty, then confirming the physician actually holds the relevant board certification, maintains current clinical practice in that field, and has the requisite experience as a testifying witness to credibly make your case: prior transcripts, malpractice history, license discipline, and any pattern of contradictory opinions or a reputation as a hired gun. I also research conflicts, availability, fee expectations, and how the expert is likely to come across to a jury. A poorly chosen expert can be worse than none at all, whether in the form of wilting under cross-examination or facing a Daubert challenge. This service exists to surface such issues during the selection period, as opposed to after a given medical expert is retained.
Every engagement is priced before work begins. No hourly billing. No scope creep. No invoice surprises.
Advanced A.I. workflows handle the volume. I verify the output myself, and in any event every deliverable is linked back to the source record from which it was derived.
Standard delivery: 48 hours. Rush delivery: same business day. My workflow is bound by one constraint. Yours.
Send me the matter details and a page count estimate. I respond the same day. Rush engagements confirmed and scoped within hours.
Get in TouchYou pay $1.00 for each page you send me. That is the price: your page count times one dollar. Send a record through once and every analysis it can produce is included, and you are never charged twice for the same page. The only thing that adds to the total is new pages, like a later deposition transcript or a supplemental production. No hourly billing. No estimates. No surprises.
Many clients don't at the outset, and that is fine. Because I charge by the page and not by the deliverable, I can look at your records and tell you what they will actually support, whether a chronology, a gap analysis, or an impeachment angle you had not spotted, at no extra cost. When I recommend a line of work, it is because it helps your case, not my invoice.
Every page is $1.00. One page can become any of the following, all included in the rate:

On a produced set:
A few services are priced as flat fees, not per page:
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Medical expert identification & vetting (finder's fee, payable only if the expert is retained) | $1,000 |
| Case Screen for Merit (72-hour turnaround) | $500 |
| Ongoing case coordination | $1,000 / month |
Standard Terms
$1.00 per page. $500 minimum per matter. 50% to start, balance due on delivery. Same-business-day rush: add 50%. A "page" means one page of a document you send me for analysis. My own work product does not count toward your total.
This is a solo litigation support practice built on 25 years of complex litigation support experience and the systematic application of advanced A.I. workflows to case documentation. You hire me, and I do the work.
I work exclusively in litigation. That focus is deliberate. Every tool, every workflow, and every service I offer was designed for the specific demands of active case preparation: the deadlines, the page counts, the standard of care disputes, the deposition timelines. I don't do transactional work. I don't do regulatory matters. I do litigation support.
The practice covers medical-legal matters including medical malpractice, birth injury, personal injury, and products liability, as well as general civil litigation including commercial disputes, IP litigation, and antitrust matters.
I combine A.I. assisted document workflows with experienced litigation judgment. The A.I. handles volume. The judgment handles everything that actually matters: what's clinically significant, what's missing, what contradicts the opposing expert, what the timeline really shows. Every deliverable is reviewed before it goes out. The result is work product that arrives faster and holds up better under scrutiny, at a flat project fee priced before I start.
My name is David A. Black, and I have worked in complex litigation support for 25 years. Earlier in that run I was a senior intellectual property paralegal and electronic evidence liaison at the Silicon Valley offices of Cooley Godward LLP (now Cooley LLP) and Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich (now DLA Piper). I was also a project manager at OnPoint Analytics, a small Bay Area firm specializing in data analysis for testifying economists in high-stakes litigation in the early 2000s.
From 2020 to 2025 I ran MedLegal Network, a medical expert witness vendor serving clients nationwide. For the past 15 years I have worked very closely with one of the most renowned child neurology medical expert witnesses in the U.S.
I earned a BA in Political Science from the University of California, San Diego, a Master's in English Literature from San Francisco State University, and a California public school teaching credential from the University of San Francisco. I taught middle school in San Francisco as a young man.
Reputable artificial intelligence products are with very few exceptions incredible at getting much of your work done competently in a fraction of the time it takes a human being to do so. They read thousands of pages without tiring. They find the one lab value buried deep in a record. They draft a chronology in hours. I therefore use such tools daily and don't mind saying so.
Moreover, A.I. is evolving rapidly. What a model or agentic process could not do in January it does by June. Anything anyone tells you about their limits has a short shelf life. I re-test my own workflows as the tools change, because a method that was sound a year ago may now be obsolete.
Having said this, they are not infallible. And their perfection will likely never be achieved. A model can produce a citation to a source that does not exist. It can attribute a finding to the wrong date, the wrong physician, or a page that says something else entirely. It does this in fluent, confident prose that reads exactly like the right answer. Expert declarations have already been thrown out because the citations in them were invented by a model. Fluency is not accuracy. Linking A.I. claims to their corresponding source files, however, serves to catch the technology's imperfection.
This is why verification is not an option with respect to my work. It's a requirement. Every fact in a deliverable carries a citation to the source page from which it came, and where the work calls for it I bundle those cited pages into the deliverable itself. That is what makes the work verifiable rather than merely asserted. You do not have to take my word for any of it, and you do not have to take the machine's. You can click the citation and read the page.
I would never ask a client to accept work product generated by artificial intelligence without source file verification. Neither should you.
