Tuft & Arnold, PLLC maintains a database of briefs and court forms which allows us to use previously created documents to reduce costs for our clients. Tuft & Arnold, PLLC uses Apple Macintosh computers for the stability of the Unix-based operating system, relative safety from viruses, and the creative software available for use in settlement and litigation. Tuft & Arnold, PLLC uses Microsoft Office — Word, Excel, Entourage (e-mail), and Powerpoint which are fully compatible with Windows versions of the same software.

Through the use of scanners we are able to quickly and inexpensively provide documents to clients, opposing counsel, and the Court as needed. The use of digital copiers allows us to quickly produce copies of documents from discovery responses, to motion documents, to trial exhibits and beyond, while scanning them to allow for easy retrieval. Tuft & Arnold, PLLC performs multiple back ups of our computer files to minimize and prevent the loss of any vital data that could occur as a result of computer malfunctions, fire, or natural disaster.
