There are two main reasons why I'm referring you to a lawyer:
(a) to the extent I know some lawyers' strategies, I am generally
not at liberty to talk about them, and
(b) to the extent I am at liberty to talk about the rest, I am
not confident of my ability to present their methods correctly,
due to the fact I haven't spent ten years learning all the
intricacies of contract law
Neither (a) nor (b) interferes with my confidence in the statement,
"contract lawyers are well-prepared for repudiating electronic documents."
(To explain (a): a few years ago I worked as the chief sysadmin for a
law firm, and got to sit in on their strategy sessions for how to handle
the changes electronic documents presented for subpoenas, signatures,
and so forth. I am not at liberty to talk about their methods: I can
only tell you the lawyers I worked for took this quite seriously, and
were confident of their ability to repudiate electronic signatures.)

Your CPA and ISP claim to do this. Nobody knows whether it truly is
until a court declares it to be so.
