ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FTI Consulting, Inc.
(NYSE: FCN), the premier national provider of strategic and litigation-related
consulting services, today announced H. Kirke Snyder has been appointed
Managing Director of its new Electronic Evidence Practice. With over 15 years
of experience consulting with attorneys regarding litigation data management,
and a published author on the subject of e-mail data mining, Snyder is
recognized in the legal profession as a leading expert in this area. In
addition to a Juris Doctor degree, he has also earned a masters degree in

efficiently recovering, searching, sorting and sifting large amounts of data.
Bringing electronic evidence expertise to our clients, along with our

successfully pursue their total litigation strategy."
