Cost Of Discovery

[chas0x01]

Hello everyone on thelaw.com, this is my first post so hopefully I'm not duplicating the same question 100X over - and I apologize in advance if I am.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a general ballpark estimate of how much basic discovery cost in a discrimination case. Or what would be involved in getting discovery on items such as emails, and yearly performance reviews, and salaries -W2s, promotion and raise history, HR complaints for a particular department, etc.?

Thanks.

chas, your question is so general and so open-ended, it cannot be answered.

Sorry I guess that was somewhat vague. Let's just use one for instance. Defendant is a fortune 100 company who will fight everything. Ballpark what would be the cost (and general process) for getting discovery on W2s over the last 5 years, for say two comparitors?

Thanks.

As you were told on the other board where you posted this, there is no possible way to give you anything like an accurate guess, and you couldn't ever get anything that wasn't a guess, based on a hypothetical situation. You're going to have to ask your own attorney, who is familiar with all the details of the situation, about costs. Strangers on a message board can't do it for you.
