From the President

Utilizing new technologies is imperative in litigation today, and, because testimony is an important part of the discovery process and is complex by nature, it is our desire to give you what you need.

Not every court reporting agency provides deposition management tools for their clients. But that is one of our main goals, so that assisting your attorneys with their trial preparation process goes smoothly.

Best Regards,
Sheila Atkinson-Baker
