Scanning Documents for Litigation Support & eDiscovery

By USA IMAGING, Inc.

In high-stakes legal matters, timely access to accurate information can make or break a case. Law firms, corporate legal teams, and government agencies rely heavily on documentation—and increasingly, on the ability to retrieve and analyze that documentation digitally. That’s where litigation support scanning and eDiscovery preparation come into play.

At USA IMAGING, Inc., we help legal professionals streamline their discovery process by scanning and organizing critical paper records into fully searchable digital files, optimized for legal review, analysis, and court submission.


📑 What Is Litigation Support Scanning?

Litigation support scanning is the process of converting legal documents, case files, correspondence, exhibits, and records into digital format. These files are then indexed, OCR-processed (Optical Character Recognition), and delivered in formats compatible with popular legal review platforms.


🔍 Why eDiscovery Demands High-Quality Scanning

In today’s legal environment, eDiscovery (electronic discovery) requires law firms to produce documents quickly and in a format that supports metadata tagging, keyword search, and Bates stamping.

Documents that are not digitized—or that are poorly scanned—can delay discovery and even lead to court sanctions for non-compliance.

At USA IMAGING, Inc., we ensure:

  • High-resolution scanning for clarity and legibility

  • OCR text recognition for full-text searchability

  • Secure digital delivery via encrypted file transfer or external drives

  • Indexing and tagging for streamlined review and legal production

  • Bates numbering when required by court or opposing counsel


⚖️ Types of Documents Commonly Scanned

  • Case files and legal correspondence

  • Contracts, agreements, and court filings

  • Depositions and transcripts

  • Medical records and evidence exhibits

  • Financial statements and ledgers

  • Paper emails, memos, and internal communications


🔐 Chain of Custody & Confidentiality

We understand that legal documents contain highly sensitive and privileged information. That’s why every step of our process—from pickup to scanning to delivery—is designed to uphold confidentiality, integrity, and a verifiable chain of custody.

Our San Diego facility follows strict handling protocols and offers after-hours or onsite scanning upon request.
