Reporting Services
The menu of technology and services First-Choice offers has been carefully designed to meet the needs of today’s law firms handling large litigation cases. This package includes a complete array of deposition and transcript services as well as video conferencing, advanced reporting management software and real-time reporting. No other court reporting company in the area offers superior technology or a more comprehensive line of services.
Video-Transcript Synchronization
Video depositions are synchronized with the transcript, which allows you to pinpoint sections of the video through the text.
Exhibit Linking
Key points in the transcript text are linked to their various sections and counterpoints, so one click on the words will take you where you need to go in the text.
Data is Available Online
You can access all of your companies’ information online through our site. Once you log in, you can view and interact with your calendar, case calendar, transcript library, exhibit management, case library and online scheduling.
We are the one source for all that you need for your deposition…
- Arranging deposition suites
- Video conferencing
- Interactive realtime
- Exhibit linking
- Synchronized transcript to video
We confirm your scheduled appointment with an email once it is received. Then, we will follow-up with a phone call the day before the deposition to confirm the schedule with you.
Once ordered, your transcript will be delivered in 7-10 days. This quick delivery allows you to review the testimony while it’s still fresh in your mind.
The transcript you receive will have been proofread for accuracy and details. It is condensed in the four-to-a-page format and saved on a disk, and each transcript comes with a word index. We will also customize to the format you prefer. It allows you to search, print and email perfectly formatted transcripts without any extra software needed.
We also specialize in multidistrict litigation and will customize the delivery, rates and archiving for you. Just let us know what you need and we’ll provide you with the best solution to suit your needs.
Video is often a major part of the process. A video testimony can help win a case because it allows body language and facial expressions to show. Also, inflection and tone in the voice can help to strengthen a testimony. (Sentence deleted here) We use digital video and quality audio in which the levels are monitored through the taping.
Record Retrieval
We will retrieve all records that you require…
- Medical records
- Business and employment records
