Computer Forensics Inc.™ Opens Office in Lawrence, Kansas
Strategic location to serve corporations in the Midwest

Seattle - May 22, 2002 - Computer Forensics Inc.™, a leader in the field of electronic risk control and computer evidence discovery, announced today that it is opening an office in Lawrence, Kansas. The location was chosen because of its strategic proximity to the central part of the country allowing Computer Forensics Inc.™ to more easily provide Midwest-based companies with more timely and efficient services in the area of electronic evidence discovery, computer forensics analysis, expert witness services and electronic risk control programs.

The new Central Office is located in the Midwest to provide coverage across the whole of the US, from its Seattle-based headquarters to its East-coast office in Coral Springs, Florida. With this new location, corporations anywhere in the 48 contiguous states can receive best-of -breed services from Computer Forensics Inc.™ within about 2 hours.

"Historically, there has not been a presence of computer forensics and electronic evidence discovery experts in the central part of the country," said Deborah Juhnke, vice president of Computer Forensics Inc.™. "Our goal at Computer Forensics Inc.™ is to provide companies across the country with timely services and opening this office helps us to achieve that. We have seen an increase in the need for these services not just in the coastal states but in the interior of our country as well. We want to respond accordingly."

With the office in Kansas, Computer Forensics Inc.™ is filling the demand in the Midwest for computer forensics specialists. As use of email and the Internet increases, more companies are finding that they need electronic evidence discovery, computer forensics services and electronic risk control programs. Companies are also finding the need to train their employees on how to use network resources effectively and are looking for experts to help them develop programs and handbooks to do so. Computer Forensics Inc.™ provides plan design, training, employee handbook development and audits.

"We specialize in helping companies protect themselves from costly litigation and liability related to email use, file retention and workplace privacy. The interior states in our country host some of the largest Fortune 1000 companies, which are constantly installing more sophisticated computer systems and technologies, and giving all of their employees access to email and the Internet," said Joan Feldman, president of Computer Forensics Inc.™. "We want to be as accessible to those companies as possible so we can help them ensure security for their networks and employees. And certainly, if they find themselves in a situation that becomes litigious, we want to be able to help them in a timely manner."
