Practice areas
A broad civil practice, with a technical specialty
Most civil litigation needs the same thing from a reporter: an accurate record, on time, from someone who prepared for the subject matter.
Where the preparation goes deepest
Technical and document-heavy matters
These are the cases where a glossary built before the deposition is the difference between a citable transcript and a corrected one.
Technology and intellectual property
Patent, trade secret, software, and AI disputes — source code and attorneys'-eyes-only depositions, expert testimony, and terminology prepared from the pleadings and the asserted patents.
Commercial and contract
Business disputes, partnership and shareholder matters, and contract litigation, where the record turns on document-by-document testimony and exhibit handling has to be exact.
Employment
Discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour, and class matters — long witness lists, repeated depositions, and a record that has to stay consistent across all of them.
Also regularly reported
The ordinary run of civil litigation
Volume work, reported to the same standard and quoted the same way.
Insurance defense
Coverage disputes, bad faith claims, and defense depositions on a schedule that tends to be set by someone other than the attorney taking them.
Construction defect
Multi-party matters with large exhibit volumes, site-specific vocabulary, and expert testimony on means, methods, and standards of care.
Workers' compensation
Applicant and defense depositions, often with interpreters, and a schedule that rewards a reporter who shows up on time and delivers on the quoted tier.
Consumer and lemon law
Vehicle repurchase and warranty matters, including technical service bulletin and repair-history testimony that needs the terminology written correctly.
Personal injury and premises
Plaintiff and defense depositions, treating witness testimony, and the exhibit handling that comes with a long records file.
Administrative and regulatory
Agency hearings and proceedings where the parties want a certified stenographic record rather than an agency recording.
