When South Florida Attorneys Need a Court Reporter, They Turn to Laws Reporting

Credit: Kayak

South Florida is one of the fastest growing regions in the United States. People from across the world travel south to indulge in the sunny weather, the sandy beaches, the food, and the fashion.

This especially rings true in Miami-Dade County. 2.7 million people– just about 12% of the state’s total population– live in this region alone. Miami has become one of Florida’s cultural meccas. People are drawn to this area in search of the night life, the art scene, the water sports, and so much more.

With such a vast scope of industries making Miami the hustling, bustling city we all know it to be, the legal industry has to be just as busy. Maritime law, copyright law, personal injury– if you can think of an area practice, chances are that there is Miami attorney who is busy with the Miami course of law.

In most of these busy attorney’s cases, in order to provide clients the support they need, they need quality litigation support themselves. It’s not enough to work with just any court reporting firm. Their court reporting firm of choice needs to offer full-service litigation support. It has to employ the fastest, most accurate, and most reliable Miami court reporting professionals. They have to provide the best customer service out there so that attorneys can be confident if anything goes wrong, their firm of choice will be there to help.

In Miami, Florida, practiced attorneys know there is only one firm that can deliver on each and every one of their needs. Laws Reporting is the tried and true example of superior litigation support. Since 1976, Laws Reporting has existed to provide attorneys the most crucial thing they need: Service tailored to their needs. Firm founder, Paula Laws, noticed that many court reporting firms at the time did not live up to the standards of their clients. Perhaps they didn’t provide enough services. Perhaps their technology was out of date. Perhaps their service was poor.

Laws took note of each of these misgivings and created a court reporting firm attorneys can always rely on. Laws Reporting operates as a big-city court reporting firm with all the bells and whistles clients need while still offering clients individualized service. They use the latest technology to ensure every service runs as smoothly as possible. Their Miami court reporters are proud of their education and continue to protect their skills long after their initial certification.

“There have been many times where my law firm needed a court reporter, often the night before a big hearing,” one attorney says. “We would reach out to multiple reporters and would find Laws Reporting as the company that would always pull through. Now our firm ONLY uses Laws Reporting for our court reporting needs due to their professionalism, diligence, and ability to cater to our needs often at the 11th hour! We are very happy and fortunate to have found Laws Reporting!”

It is this attention to each running part of business that garnered the attention of the National Network Reporting Company (NNRC). The NNRC is an international court reporting database. In order to achieve this, they partner with only the best and brightest court reporting firms in the industry. These firms go through an intense vetting process that assures the firm’s speed, accuracy, and level of customer service. This means that, no matter where in the world an attorney is, they can book a service with the NNRC confident they will deliver on each and every one of their needs.

Laws Reporting’s excellence is what has marked them as the NNRC’s Miami partner. Now, attorneys visiting the city don’t have to worry about hunting down a firm that provides not only quality court reporting, but legal video services, remote depositions, interpreters, and so much more. All they have to do to find that firm is visit the NNRC’s Miami page, and learn more about Laws Reporting.

With satellite offices across South Florida, legal professionals from Miami to West Palm Beach can work with Laws Reporting without having to combat the Miami traffic. This saves attorneys crucial time that could be spent on their casework. Providing clients the support they need to work efficiently and effectively is just a part of a day’s work for the staff at Laws.

NNRC Announces Partner Pages

by: Willow Sharp

(Folsom, California) December 7, 2021

The National Network Reporting Company (NNRC) is pleased to announce their brand new partner pages. As an international court reporting firm, the NNRC has partnered with court reporting firms all over the globe. In the United States, the NNRC sometimes has partners who do not cover the same area, but work in the same state. To help clarify which partners work in which states, the NNRC has produced these state partner pages. The directory is still a work in progress, but these pages include: California Partners, Ohio Partners, Colorado Partners, Louisiana Partners, Alabama Partners, and North Carolina Partners. On each page, readers can learn a little about the firms that represent these areas.

For over 40 years, the NNRC has served attorneys and other legal professionals across the world. Before, the standards for litigation support varied wildly from firm to firm. Attorneys could never anticipate whether or not a firm could live up to their expectations. This was unacceptable to the firms that founded the NNRC. Together, they set a new standard of speed, accuracy, efficiency, and customer service. In order to be accepted as an NNRC partner, clients must undergo a strict vetting process to ensure they live up to these high standards.

“The National Network Reporting Company is a different type of firm,” Lloyd Gronich, an expert from Oak Park, California says. “Their business was founded out of the concern for their clients, and the business continues to be molded by that clientele.”

This allows attorneys, no matter where in the world they are, to schedule a litigation support service with the utmost confidence. Whether booking a court reporter in California or a legal video professional in Missouri, there is a partner with the NNRC who can help.

To learn more about the NNRC, call (866) 337-6672, email debbe.dreher@nnrc.com, or visit their offices.

How Court Reporting and Remote Depositions Come Together

by: Willow Sharp

In the past year, the world of law has had to make some major changes. With many professionals working from home for the majority of the year, everyone has had to adapt what they do to keep cases moving while ensuring the safety of everyone involved.

With livelihoods potentially in the balance, the law can’t just be put on hold. National Network Reporting Company (NNRC) quickly rose to the challenge. Videoconferencing was already a service the litigation firm employed. The service allows attorneys to connect across the globe for any sort of meeting they may need. The next logical step was to transform that idea into remote depositions.

How can an attorney have a remote deposition? It’s the exact same idea of an in-person deposition, just from the comfort and safety of each participant’s home or personal office with a few minor changes. Remote depositions must be agreed upon by all involved parties. Any and all exhibits or documents must be delivered to those involved via email. All those involved should ensure their microphone and cameras properly work. On the day of the deposition, oath must be administered remotely. From that point on, the deposition continues as it might in the court room.

Though some may think a remote deposition may mean no court reporter involvement, this does not have to be the case. When an attorney schedules a remote deposition through the NNRC, that service can include one of the company’s skilled professionals. Though not in-person, the NNRC’s court reporters are still able to produce an accurate transcript in record time, and are on standby to assist with any problems that may arise.

With the NNRC, attorneys can be confident all their information is safe. The company utilizes the best technology in the business so that legal teams and their witnesses connect over a secure server. All details of the case stay between those involved in it, precisely as it should be.

In a time where everything seems uncertain, the NNRC is there to make things a little clearer. For decades they have offered superior litigation support to attorneys, paralegals, and other legal professionals across the globe. Customer service should never come second, especially in a global pandemic. With the NNRC, clients not only know their case is in good hands, but the hands of professionals who truly care. In a line of work so important, that is a quality that truly matters.

To learn more about the NNRC and their remote depositions, call (916) 451-9187, email debbe.dreher@nnrc.com, or fill out this contact form.

The National Network Reporting Company (also known as the NNRC) is a network dedicated to promoting quality court reporting firms across the United States, Canada, and Europe whilst providing both a national and international court reporting directory to today’s legal professionals. The NNRC is committed to opening new doors for lawyers by providing them with the necessary resources to expand their reach with 21st-century connectivity. They offer video conferencing, real-time reporting, accurate and timely transcripts, as well as a wide range of other services that aim to assist lawyers by enhancing efficiency and enabling them to take hold of their case materials in new ways.

A Database of Quality Reporters

In the age of interconnected technology, the decentralization of information is inevitable. This expedited information diffusion can have the unfortunate consequence of causing confusion rather than enlightenment, making the abundance of information next to worthless for those without the time to search through piles of related text. This is where specified search engines or specialized directories such as the National Network Reporting Company can be of great use. Giving industry professionals a way to easily navigate through the tangled rat’s nest of hashtags and keywords, court reporting directories like the NNRC are invaluable tools needed to navigate the vast world wide web. The ease of gathering the services necessary to ensure a successful litigation provides legal firms with a chance to focus on the most important details of winning a case.

Providing Worldwide Connections

With their multitude of online services, law firms may contact the National Network Reporting Company from any location in order to find quality court reporters within their chosen area. Searches can be done by specific name or by general region, and attorneys can book their court reporter online through the NNRC website. Because those at the NNRC recognize that even straightforward cases can become unnecessarily complex if a legal service like a witness deposition is needed across state lines, the NNRC aims to provide 24/7 quality service to any attorneys in need of national court reporter coverage. The National Network Reporting Company prides itself in providing accurate information with reliable technology and full litigation support.

Court Reporting and its Adjacent Fields

A person who records the events of a court room or deposition is not a new job to be filled. For centuries, there has always been someone nearby with a documentation of court proceeding in order to help the legal process flow a little more smoothly. In the late 19-century, the first stenotype machine was invented, and the vision of court reporters many of us have was developed.

As technology has grown and advanced, so has the court reporting industry. With the invention of computer-aided transcription, reporters no longer had to write up their transcripts by hand. Court reporters have also become a main resource for providing closed captions for televised court broadcasts.

Fulfilling Client Expectations

But in recent years, court reporting firms have become far more than what the title leads one to assume. With the needs of attorneys and paralegals seemingly growing by the minute, court reporting companies need to keep up with the growing demands in order to not only be a competitive business, but a resource legal professionals will turn to again and again. These firms offer the traditional court reporting options, as well as videography, videoconferencing, trial presentation, and more.

As one of the nation’s oldest court reporting firm and a founding member of the National Network Reporting Company, Anderson Reporting knows a thing or two about the nuances and changes the court reporting industry has undergone over the past several decades. The Columbus court reporters offer a full list of litigation services in order to assure that each and every one of their clients’ needs are met.

But what exactly are these new standards of business court reporting firms are being expected to uphold? In today’s day and age, they are more important than one might think.

Court Reporting in the Modern World

Despite the enhancements of recording technologies, court reporters are still utilized in court proceedings across the world. They provide insight a computer could not. Nowadays, court reporting firms and their professionals are expected to fulfil a wide breadth of needs.

With the technology available, many court reporting professionals extend their services to not only a national, but international level. It has become a standard to provide daily copies and even same-day rough-drafts. Realtime reporting takes all this to the next level. Having a working transcription of the proceedings in a case the moment they happen is crucial to managing a courtroom. It allows for transcripts to be marked up and highlighted when necessary.

To help things move along as quickly as possible, these documents should be sent over email in a PDF. This not only increases speed of delivery, but helps keep these firms green. Comprehensive word indexing, exhibits scanning, and online scheduling are also a must for many.

Legal Videography

Videos of depositions and court proceedings have become increasingly important over the years. Many use these videos to judge the actions of opposing counsel and study their next move. Recordings of depositions can prove to be excellent resources for building a strong case.

The Houston court reporters at Hanna & Hanna boast their certified court reporting staff and video specialists alike. Their specialists are certified through the NCRA, a national organization that assures legal videography quality, as expertise in videography can be more difficult to achieve than one might think.

These videographers are to assure the room is properly lighted in order to best see everyone on camera. The equipment must be working properly and taped in a place where audio feedback will not interfere with the sound. Often, by the next day, files of the proceedings are expected to be delivered in whatever format necessary. At times, synchronized text and video can be provided.

Finding These Resources in One Location

An attorney or paralegal could easily spend hours looking for each individual resource from individual firms that specialize in these areas and more. But upon seeing the rise in litigation needs, many court reporting firms decided it was in their best interest to bring clients each and every one of these resources. Knowing if each and every one is quality, however, can be tricky.

This is a question the National Court Reporting Company (NNRC) has taken upon themselves to answer. The NNRC is a court reporting owned and operated firm that assures the quality of court reporting firms, so that clients can easily locate one whose services can be trusted through and through. Each of the above listed firms are NNRC members—so whether a client was to book a court reporting or trial presentation service, their quality can be guaranteed.

The NNRC offers a variety of booking options. Clients can go to the firm’s website and book there, certainly, but they can also fill out the NNRC’s online scheduling form and search for their firm by name, by region, or even by court reporter.

How the National Network Reporting Company Became the Leading National Court Reporters Directory

by: Willow Sharp

A good court reporter can be good to find. Back in the day, an attorney would have to scourge phone books, call up several different firms, and hope the firm they landed on is truly a quality business. The process is still the same nowadays, except it is entirely digital, and perhaps even a little trickier to navigate. Any firm can have a pretty website, but that doesn’t guarantee good service. A law professional still can’t know if the firm they booked will actually deliver—at least, not without the NNRC.

The National Network of Reporting Companies (NNRC) formed in 1983 to make that search a little easier. Five leading firms in the court reporting industry knew that what clients want is not only excellent reporting quality, but firms that meet and exceed their needs. With these needs in mind, the five firms joined together to create a company that ensured that any law professional across the United States can look to them and know they are getting the best court reporters or litigation services possible.

Since then, the NNRC has expanded to encompass 55 court reporting firms not only in the United States, but Canada and Europe as well. Though the NNRC has grown 11 times it’s original size, their original model of business has not changed. The NNRC still vows to offer law professionals top-of-the-line court reporting firms while providing excellent customer service.

It’s the NNRC’s online booking service and court reporters directory that put them above the rest. All a law professional has to do is click the tab “Book Online,” select which services they require, fill in some information about themself and the case, and submit. If the professional would like to get a little more specific in their request, however, they can turn to the court reporters directory and find a service near them. A law professional can search by their location, a court reporting firm’s name, or even by the name of a certain court reporter they would like to work with.

Potential members of the NNRC must be recommended. They undergo an intensive vetting process to assure their equipment is state-of-the-art, their reporters are accurate, timely, and professional, they have global video depositions and conferencing services, they have proven experience in meeting litigation support needs, and that their reputation for customer service is responsive and next to no one.

With the NNRC’s seal of approval, quality court reporting firms are getting the business they deserve. In Phoenix, Arizona, Coash & Coash has been open for 35 years. In their area, their repute is strong, but their partnership with the NNRC has opened even more doors for them. Anderson Reporting in Columbus, Ohio has been open over three decades as well, and as one of the founding firms of their NNRC, their business has flourished. The same can be said for Beovich, Walter, & Friend in Portland, Oregon. Even after 30 years with open doors, their firm is still growing.

These firms can call upon their membership with the NNRC in order to confirm that they are, in fact, the best of the best. Simultaneously, with each quality firm the NNRC covers under their wings, their reputation grows more and more prestigious. After so many years of being a premiere business for law professionals to turn to, the NNRC has become one of the leading court reporting directories. Their easy to navigate website, convenient booking engine, and compiling of talented reporting agencies are what lead attorneys to come back time and time again.

(Houston, Texas) May 25, 2018

One of the challenges for law firms with depositions and other tasks across the nation is finding reliable court reporting firms away from home. The National Network Reporting Company (NNRC) has now addressed this issue within the industry. Their national court reporters directory has now become the most-researched and most popular listings of court reporting and litigation support firms in the nation.

For law firms looking for individual firms within a particular state, NNRC also offers new state directories. Their most recent addition to this list includes a directory of Texas court reporters. The directory includes top firms for markets like Houston, Dallas, and Austin.

The Houston representative for the Texas directory is Hanna Reporting, one of the oldest court reporting companies in the nation. Hanna reporting serves the entire Houston area and is based downtown. Their status as one of the oldest members of NNRC means they have developed a prime reputation as a reliable and exacting firm that delivers quality for all of its services.

The Texas court reporters directory for the National Network Reporting Company includes a 24/7 booking engine where law firms and paralegals can secure appointments for services ranging from deposition reporting, videoconferences and meetings to transcripts and trial support. The directory also includes a clickable map to other states directories and recent posts from the legal news blog published by the NNRC writing and legal team.

Dallas attorney Simon Penny describes the implications of the NNRC directories:

“We’ve found great reliability and convenience with the NNRC model. Their system of state and national directories really helps our legal team procure the services we need for our cases. Because we represent clients across Texas and often have depositions in states beyond the area, it is paramount for us to find reliable court reporting services.”

Software for Top Court Reporting Companies

by: Willow Sharp

Complete business management software offers solutions and optional Internet repository services for court reporting firms of any size. Features include online scheduling, job management and document management.

Calendaring and deposition scheduling allows for tracking events, depositions, tasks and individual reporter availability. In addition to this, simplifying the management of depositions requires a few easy steps, such as attaching documents, tracking correspondence and entering in date changes.

Managing business with built-in options include templates for standard or special billing rates. For example, tracking deposition acknowledgements, works-in-progress, work completion and assignment availability results in increased production and revenue for the firm.

Scanning all exhibits and papers with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) gives the ability to read and extract specific words within the files. Using OCR enables the building of a robust on-line discovery database with coding services for cataloging the scanned case documents. Furthermore, it provides the litigation parties access for secure, remote research.

File storage with online controlled access permits ease for sharing transcripts, exhibits and other confidential records with participants in the case who have various levels of authority. In fact, scanning the transcripts provides access to files in a variety of electronic formats.

In the end, the key objectives of reliability, speed and accuracy in management software provide what court reporting companies need for success in managing the workflow for national court reporters. Moreover, it provides extraordinary methods for enabling an edge over competitors.
