Office and Equipment

Faison & Gillespie continually strives to maximize the efficiency of its lawyers through the use of innovative office design and technology. In 1997, partners of the Firm designed the current building to meet the Firm's needs. The resulting design produced an "L" - shaped building with offices for the Medical Malpractice Group on one wing and offices for the Business and Municipal Litigation Practice Group on the other. Support services used by all groups such as the mail room, copy room, file room, and the word processing department are located in the middle of the building for the convenience of everyone. Designing the building also gave the Firm the ability to create a variety of offices and conference rooms to suit its needs. Perhaps the most interesting of these is the video deposition room. The video deposition room, along with its specially designed conference table, was built to accommodate video depositions which use the DOAR^™ system. The DOAR^™ system enables the creation of split screen video depositions which show in one portion of the screen the deponent and in another portion of the screen the document or x-ray the witness is discussing. The video conference room provides a good example of the Firm's dedication to the use of technology.

Faison & Gillespie's dedication to the use of technology is also evident in its computer system. Each office in the Firm is equipped with a personal computer which is upgraded regularly to obtain the benefit of the latest computer technology. Each of these computers is linked through a local area network to a central file server. This arrangement allows instant access to any correspondence, pleading or other document which has been prepared by the Firm. Also, the computer network is designed to perform a wide range of research. For example, attorneys and paralegals in the Medical Malpractice Group use a variety of programs to research medical issues and frequently turn to medical databases on the Internet. All attorneys use their computers to research legal issues using a variety of resources such as Westlaw, on site CD ROM databases, and the Internet.
