“I just want to let you know, Ron, how much I appreciate you and U.S. Legal Support.  I call U.S. Legal Support for my attorneys’ deposition needs because I know that I can rely on you to do a great job and that I don’t have to worry about any problems arising.  If a problem does arise, I know that you are just one phone call away and it will be taken care of immediately.

I’ve used U.S. Legal Support for depositions mostly in Sacramento and Southern California for at least 5 years now.  I have also used U.S. Legal Support’s record retrieval and I can honestly say that I have always had a very pleasant experience every time I use U.S. Legal Support.  The people are very personable and helpful and they provide excellent service.”

Digital Management of Testimony in Court Reporter Transcripts

Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) was enacted June 30, 2000 to facilitate the use of electronic documents and signatures.  As it relates to the law, see Digital Signature Guidelines Tutorial prepared by the American Bar Association abanet.org/scitech/ec/isc/dsg-tutorial.html.              

When applied to a court reporter transcript by way of encryption and authentication, a digital signature secures the deposition transcript and prevents it from being readily changed.  For example, U.S. Legal Support www.uslegalsupport.com delivers its deposition transcripts digitally signed and encrypted. The deposition transcripts are then uploaded to a secure repository so that each client has access to all testimony in all cases in which U.S. Legal Support’s certified shorthand reporters have performed the deposition reporting. This ensures the user of the repository can verify the integrity of every transcript upon viewing it.

While most court reporting companies have centralized production of deposition transcripts, U.S. Legal Support maintains production within the state in which its brick-and-mortar offices are located. In so doing, it ensures statutory compliance with the taking and production of deposition transcripts and allows us to deliver a higher degree of service.

“Gail provided litigation tech support to our trial team in the recent jury trial in Florida.  Once again, Gail’s performance was beyond stellar.  She was assiduously prepared; spent all the time I asked of her reviewing presentations of documents, call-outs and video; and did a remarkable job editing video deposition testimony so it came across to the jury in seamless fashion. 

On top of all of that, Gail was an indefatigable worker and pleasant and cheerful to boot.  By virtue of her extensive trial experience, she was able to provide me with effective suggestions and pointers in presenting the case.

Stated simply, I would not think of going to trial without Gail’s tech support, and though it may be against the lawyers’ creed, I really am at a loss to deliver sufficient encomiums about her performance.”
