Imaging

As the legal industry continues its shift into the digital age, Smart Legal is prepared to help your firm along the way. Whether it is converting archives for digital storage, or scanning active discovery and case files for ease of review and dissemination, the need for imaging services is pronounced. Once scanned, we can export in a common PDF format or industry-standard group 4 TIFF for ease in management on the user end.
