Reporting Services
U.S. Legal Support’s
court reporting services include archival and retrieval
of transcripts through an internet repository that
is accessed by password I.D. Our highly skilled
deposition and trial reporters deliver accurate
transcripts using state-of-the-art transcription
methods including interactive realtime, instant
rough drafts and daily copy. We also
offer videotaped depositions, video/text synchronization
of transcripts, realtime via the internet and videoteleconferencing. Transcripts
may be delivered in E-transcript or ascii format
for ease of importation into a variety of litigation
support software programs such as Summation or
Livenote. We can provide several software
options enabling you to conduct full-text searches
of an entire case from transcripts, videos, exhibits
and medical records to document production. In
addition, U.S. Legal Support is a certified reseller
for Livenote, a litigation support software.
Scheduling
Scheduling and coordinating depositions
is time consuming and often frustrating, particularly
when depositions occur in multiple jurisdictions. Compounding
these issues are inconsistencies in quality, types
of service, transcript delivery and pricing.
At U.S. Legal Support, depositions can be scheduled
online, by calling our local offices directly,
or by calling our national court reporting division’s
toll-free scheduling center. We guarantee
personal service during regular business hours,
plus 24-hour-a-day service in case of an emergency. Key
personnel will be assigned to your case to maintain
consistent, professional communication.
Scheduled depositions are assigned a confirmation
number that expedites confirmations, cancellations
and rescheduling of additional depositions for
the same case. Once a deposition is scheduled,
each U.S. Legal Support office confirms with the
legal department or law firm one day prior to its
scheduled commencement. Upon confirmation,
our offices arrange for a court reporter to arrive
at the deposition location 15 minutes prior to
the scheduled deposition time.
Court Reporter Credentials
Each court reporter
must present impeccable credentials to be considered
as a reporter for U.S. Legal Support. Proven
court reporters must adhere to our rigorous standards
of ethics, performance and professionalism. Veteran
reporters may be selected to become a “Preferred
Court Reporter” upon a client’s request.
Transcripts
Transcripts may be requested on an
instant or expedited basis. In addition to
standard hard copy delivery, transcripts can be
delivered electronically in E-transcript or ascii
format.
Transcripts are quality checked with a battery
of tests to ensure proper handling to meet every
requirement dictated by the client. Civil
rules of procedure are highly respected and upheld
to the highest standards. In addition, in-depth
quality checks are randomly performed by a statewide
quality manager dedicated to improving service
and products. Each transcript and any supporting
documentation must meet or exceed our standard
of excellence.
