Premium Services

Expedited Delivery:

How quickly do you need your transcript? We offer same day, next day, 2 day, 5 day, 7 day, and 10 day delivery.

Rough ASCII:

Do you need to review your deposition to prepare for the next day's testimony? Ask our reporters to provide you with a "rough ASCII" of the proceedings. A rough ASCII is a notepad version of the reporter's notes before they have been proofed or compared to the audio from your deposition. This is particularly useful if you need to compare the comments of the witness against your own notes in order to prepare for a continuation of the deposition, additional witnesses or the next day of trial. You will still get your certified deposition in whatever time frame you choose, but a rough ASCII puts all the information you need at your fingertips.

Audio Synced Transcript:

Take advantage of letting your witnesses speak for themselves. The audio from deposition testimony can be synced to match the transcript and played back for judge, juries and clients while they watch the words go by on a video screen. Less costly than video depositions, but much more impact than having dry testimony read into the record!

Video Taped Depositions:

We can handle all of the details for a videotaped deposition, from booking your crew to delivering a final product. Show your juries the witness and let them listen to the testimony as though they were in the room as questions were asked. The format is your choice; just tell us what you need.

Video Synced Transcript:

You've videotaped your deposition; now put it to work for you by syncing it with the searchable transcript. Isolate portions of testimony for use in settlement conferences, client meetings and in court.

Video Conferencing:

Through our worldwide network, we can arrange video conferencing across the country and the globe. This is a great alternative to expensive travel, especially when time if of the essence and witnesses and counsel hail from many different places.

Video Live Stream and Live Note:

Utilizing experienced real time reporters, your deposition testimony can be live streamed to any desktop in any part of the world. Make notes on your laptop to track testimony and communicate with your partners. This is state of art technology that puts all of your litigation team on the playing field during every deposition.

Scanned and Searchable Exhibits:

Copies of your exhibits are stored electronically on our servers and we would be happy to provide you with scanned copies in any format you choose to integrate with your legal software. We can also provide you with your scanned exhibits on a Compact Disc or DVD, for use in preparing your case or for archival purposes. Copies of your scanned exhibits are also available to be e-mailed to you or your witnesses.

Archival storage:

Written depositions and court testimony are stored on redundant servers for security. Your record is safe with us.

Complimentary conference rooms:

We have both large and small conference rooms in our conveniently located Loop office building.

Remote Location Service:

Need a conference room outside of Chicago? Leave the details to us. With our connections across the country and the world, we can often find complimentary space for you wherever you travel. We will research the best possible options for your proceedings, and then let you choose the location that is right for you. We have arranged space as close as the suburbs of Chicago, as far away as Korea, and most places in between. Of course, we can also book a reporter for you in any location. Contact us for more information.

Worldwide Scheduling:

Do you have to schedule a deposition in another state or another country? Why would you take a chance on the Internet or the Yellow Pages to preserve your record? Turn to our network of partners to insure that your work will be given the same attention on the road as at home. Amicus Court Reporters will make all the arrangements for out of town proceedings, along with handling the responsibility of delivering a completed transcript to you on time and on target. Of course, our local reporters are also available to travel.

International Reporters:

Have passport, will travel! Many of our reporters are experienced with international travel and ready to accompany you to your international depositions. How much more secure will you feel when our reporter gets on the same plane as you do for the flight back home, knowing that your record is safely secured and ready to be delivered to you as soon as you need it?

Complimentary MCLE classes:

Do you need MCLE hours? We offer complimentary certified classes on using today's technology in the deposition process. These entertaining and informative classes tell you what you need to know to create the best record, and introduce you to state of the art technology. Do you want to experiment with a "Smart Board", see your demonstrative exhibits turned into animated images, or impeach a witness with his own demeanor? Use technology to help settle your cases with optimum outcome for your clients or claim an edge over opposing counsel in the courtroom. Take advantage of this class, taught by an attorney and a visual image expert, right in your own office. Call us to make the arrangements or click on our web link to ask for more information.
