Why Use Stenographic Reporters?

There is no substitute for the human element that court reporters bring to the courtroom. Having a single person be a part of the transcript-making process from beginning to end guarantees the best record possible. When someone's life or livelihood is at stake, a stenographic court reporter is the only choice to guarantee that justice is carried out.

When someone's livelihood is at stake, there is no room for discrepancies. Judges, attorneys, and clients can feel confident that stenographic court reporters will provide an accurate record of what was said in the courtroom or the deposition suite. Steno court reporters:

• Can sort and discriminate between testimony and background noise.
• Can clarify technical terms.
• Can certify the accuracy and integrity of the record and can testify to those points if necessary.
• Have excellent back-up systems with built in redundancies.
• Have the capability to ensure that off-the-record conversations are excluded from the record.    

When the trial is heating up, court reporters ensure that no time is wasted either during the trial or when transcripts are needed.

• Court reporters may provide unofficial transcripts of testimony on paper or by electronic file virtually instantly
• Court reporters can read back from any portion of their notes.
