ABOUT US

The Beginning

Behind the Gavel was born after working on several complex federal criminal cases together. It became clear that many CJA attorneys lacked sufficient resources to manage and review complex, voluminous discovery. Behind the Gavel strives to contribute however they can to CJA panel members, Defender Services, and the court systems as a whole.

Our Expertise

Over the last 6 years, BTG has worked on dozens of Federal, State, civil and criminal cases. Combined, those cases contained approximately 6,500,000 discovery pages. We have helped legal teams all across the United States with massive conspiracy cases, gang cases, drug cases, firearms cases, human sex trafficking cases, RICO cases, Title III cases, fraud cases, and more.

Behind the Gavel has been commended and recommended by many attorneys and staff across the country for our ability to produce organized discovery in a timely, cost-effective fashion. Federal judges have also recognized and valued the cost-saving abilities that BTG can bring to an appointed case. BTG has a customer satisfaction rating of over 97% and have saved legal teams over 330 hours on average!

I also give Daley an enthusiastic two thumbs up. He has been happy to go the extra mile. He has made himself available after hours. He has a rare ability to extract the relevant info from gobs of reports. He is talented and diligent.

John B McEntire IV
Federal Defenders of Eastern WA & ID

I worked with Cary for several years on many complex white collar cases. He is adept at organizing document heavy discovery cases, which is invaluable for time-crunched attorneys looking to identify the issues. The benefits of his help outweigh the costs-simple as that.
