Transforming Criminal Defense:

How H Law GroupSaved Over 350 Hourswith iDox.ai’s Advanced Redaction Software

Overview

The H Law Group based out of California, is a criminal defense law firm that boasts of having a group of some of the best DUI and firearms lawyers in the state. Additionally, H Law Group represents a wide range of clients, including those charged with drug offenses, domestic violence as well as other criminal matters. They also maintain discovery documents, such as police reports, toxicology reports, and traffic collision reports as part of their legal process. Historically, the firm was confronted with onerous manual redaction processes.

Challenges

Before implementing iDox.ai Redact, H Law Group relied on Adobe for document redaction. Their team had to go through each document MANUALLY and redact any sensitive information by reading it aspect by aspect.

The main challenges were:

Burden: The manual process was time-consuming, as it meant a reviewer had to read through all discovery documents to determine where redaction would be necessary.
Handwritten Documents: A significant portion of the discovery documents were handwritten, making it difficult for software to accurately identify and redact sensitive information.
Time Expense: The manual redaction process was slow, taking considerable time to ensure all sensitive information was properly redacted.

Solution

The H Law Group adopted iDox.ai’s redaction software to streamline their document management process. iDox.ai offers advanced AI-powered redaction technology designed to handle both typed and handwritten documents.

Key features that benefited the H Law Group include:

Automatic Identification: iDox.ai’s ability to automatically find and redact sensitive information such as witness names, addresses, and court personnel information.
Time Efficiency: Handwritten documents still required manual assurance but iDox.ai was able to save the team hundreds of hours detecting sensitive information within scanned documents.
Ease of Use: iDox.ai Redact was straightforward, allowing the H Law Group to quickly integrate the software into their workflow without major disruptions.

Results
