Long Island coverage

Working in Long Island

Long Island covers a wide range of evidence profiles. The western Nassau corridor (Great Neck, Manhasset, Garden City, Uniondale, Hempstead) carries corporate, law firm and healthcare footprints. Suffolk County carries mid-market operating businesses, manufacturing, healthcare systems and the Stony Brook academic and medical footprint. The East End is primarily a residential and small-business economy.

For Long Island matters, examiners are dispatched from the Manhattan intake at (212) 561-5860. On-site work is common at counsel offices in Uniondale, Garden City and Melville, at corporate premises across the island and at private residences where the record requires it.

Long Island practice notes

How the work actually goes in Long Island

Nassau corridor

The western Nassau corridor from Great Neck through Manhasset, Garden City, Uniondale and Hempstead concentrates law firms, corporate headquarters and healthcare systems within a compact geography. On-site collections are routine, and the schedule usually allows a same-day round trip from the Manhattan intake.

Suffolk corridor

Suffolk County carries mid-market operating businesses in Melville, Hauppauge and Ronkonkoma, manufacturing along the LIE corridor, the Stony Brook academic and medical footprint, and the East End residential and small-business economy. Suffolk collections are scheduled with a full working day allocated to the round trip, with remote preservation starting on the initial call.

East End matters

East End matters (Southampton, East Hampton, Amagansett, Montauk) are commonly high-net-worth residential or small-business matters where the record concentrates in personal devices, personal cloud accounts, home network equipment, and, in the residential-hospitality economy, vacation-rental platform records. The engagement is scheduled around the working season.

EDNY Central Islip practice

For matters in the Central Islip EDNY courthouse, preservation and collection is coordinated across the Long Island custodian locations and the report is prepared for the assigned chambers on the schedule set by the court.

Frequently asked

Common questions on Long Island matters

Do you serve the whole island, or only Nassau?

Both Nassau and Suffolk are covered. Nassau addresses in Great Neck, Manhasset, Garden City, Uniondale and Hempstead are within a normal drive from Manhattan. Suffolk addresses in Melville, Hauppauge, Ronkonkoma, Riverhead and the East End are handled with scheduled on-site visits and remote preservation where possible.

How do you handle EDNY Central Islip matters?

For matters seated in Central Islip, preservation and collection is performed at the custodian's Long Island location and the report is prepared for the assigned Central Islip chambers on the schedule set by the court.

Can you support a Long Island mid-market corporate matter?

Yes. Mid-market matters typically involve Microsoft 365, a small ERP or accounting system, an EDR product, a few line-of-business SaaS accounts, and a set of mobile devices. The engagement is scoped to those systems rather than a wholesale seizure.
