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.

Questions about coverage

Do you only take technology cases?
No. Technology and intellectual property work is where the preparation is deepest, but the majority of civil litigation runs through the same reporting requirements. Employment, commercial, insurance defense, construction, workers' compensation, and consumer matters are ordinary work.
Does the practice area change the price?
The reporting does not. What can change the quote is realtime, turnaround tier, expected length, and whether a proceeding needs interpreters or videography — and each of those is itemized rather than folded into a single number.
Do you report proceedings in languages other than English?
The record is taken in English, with a certified interpreter sworn on the record. Interpreted testimony runs slower and produces a longer transcript, which is worth accounting for when scheduling the day.
Can you handle a high-volume deposition schedule?
Yes, with notice. A matter with many depositions across weeks benefits from consistent reporter assignment, because exhibit numbering and case vocabulary stay coherent across the whole record rather than resetting with each new reporter.

Whatever the matter is, the record works the same way.
