Henley March & Unger Consulting ("HMU") has experience in providing technology consulting to over 300 law firms nationwide. HMU works with law firms and legal departments to implement comprehensive technology planning and a broad range of software and hardware solutions. In addition, HMU teaches a wide variety of legal technology seminars and continuing education classes. Included in its classes and consulting work is dtSearch.

According to Barron Henley, a lawyer and principal of HMU, “One of the most common and costly problems facing law firms is difficulty finding their existing documents. Most lawyers draft a large portion of their documents by taking pieces and parts of other documents they created in the past and cobbling them together in the form of a new document ... The problem with this method is that it's often difficult to find that paragraph you know you drafted 6 months ago so you can drop it into the document you're drafting now. Therefore, solving the issue of lost electronic documents must be a part of any technology initiative or strategic plan.”

The solution that HMU counsels to this dilemma is dtSearch. "The searching capabilities are impressive and this program pays for itself the first time you find that long, lost document you would have otherwise never found. Moreover, you'll never lose another document."
