What we cover

Five things, done properly

Every one of these is the same underlying job — an accurate record, delivered when it was promised, by someone whose name and number are on it.

Stenographic depositions

Machine shorthand by a certified reporter, with exhibit marking and handling, a complete transcript package, and a reporter who interrupts when the record is about to be lost.

Deposition reporting

Realtime reporting

The testimony on your screen as it is spoken, so you can mark, annotate, and search during the deposition instead of waiting on a transcript to plan the next round.

Realtime reporting

Remote and hybrid proceedings

Remote depositions with the oath administered by the certified reporter, digital exhibit handling, and a tech check before the date rather than during it.

Remote depositions

Transcript turnaround

Rough draft, standard, expedited, and daily copy, with the tier and the delivery date agreed at booking so an expedite is a decision rather than a surprise line item.

Turnaround tiers

Trial and hearing support

Arbitrations, evidentiary hearings, and multi-day trial coverage, with daily copy overnight and a realtime feed at counsel table when the schedule calls for it.

How booking works

Four steps, no surprises

The order matters: pricing and reporter assignment are settled before anyone goes on the record, not after the transcript arrives.

  1. Send the notice

    Caption, date, venue or platform, witness, and matter type. Add the protective order if one governs the testimony.

  2. Get an itemized quote

    Appearance, transcript, copies, and any expedite priced separately, so you can see what each part costs before agreeing to it.

  3. Reporter confirmed by name

    You know who is covering the date and under which certification, early enough to raise a conflict if there is one.

  4. Transcript delivered

    In the formats and on the tier agreed at booking, with exhibits scanned and linked and the certification page complete.

Before you book

Common questions

What do you need to book a deposition?
The caption, the date and start time, the venue or platform, the witness name, and the type of matter. If a protective order governs the testimony, send that as well. The more of it that arrives up front, the sooner the quote and the reporter assignment come back.
How much notice do you need?
Most dates are covered comfortably with several days of notice, and short-notice requests are still worth asking about. If a date cannot be covered, you hear that immediately rather than the afternoon before.
What is included in a transcript package?
A certified PDF, an ASCII file, an E-Transcript (PTX), a word index, and a condensed version, with exhibits scanned and linked. Other formats are available when a case management system or a client requires one.
Do you coordinate videographers and interpreters?
Yes. Legal videographers and certified interpreters are scheduled alongside the reporter so one date is confirmed once rather than assembled by counsel across three vendors.
Do you cover both California and Texas?
Yes, and the credentials are separate. California requires a Certified Shorthand Reporter license and Texas requires certification through the Judicial Branch Certification Commission. Both are held, so a matter with depositions in each state does not need two separate arrangements.
