Whether you’re a North Carolina-based attorney or just
visiting, here are a few things you should look for when choosing a court
reporting firm to cover your next deposition:

Certifications and
Memberships

A great indication of the credibility and professionalism of
a court reporting firm is whether its reporters are certified and whether
they’re a member of professional organizations. In addition, professional
organizations require their members to take part in continuing education
programs and adhere to a Code of Professional Practice.

Locations and Availability

While North Carolina isn’t a big state (in terms of land
size), it’s sometimes difficult to find court reporting firms who regularly
cover areas outside of the major cities. It’s even more difficult to find a
court reporting firm that can provide you with a conference room in a rural
corner of the state. Greater  Raleigh Court Reporting covers North Carolina from Murphy to
Manteo, and our reporters are available for early morning, evening, and weekend
depositions or hearings. We have conference rooms available in big cities like
Raleigh, Charlotte, Wilmington, and Greensboro, and in small towns like Angier
and Clayton.

Experience

Hiring a court reporting firm that has experience covering
all types of proceedings ensures that you never end up having an unprepared
reporter show up. Our court reporters have decades of reporting experience in
courtrooms, depositions, boardrooms, conference rooms, and more.

Tech Smarts

Look for a court reporting firm that keeps up with the
latest technology in court reporting and data security. Leading firms keep up
with new technology to be able to offer cost and time savings to their clients
and to ensure the security of your data. We use cutting-edge court reporting
equipment to capture the record and offer Zoom rooms so you can take the
deposition of your North Carolina-based witness from the comfort of your own
office, whether that’s across the state or across the country.

Easy Scheduling/Communication

It’s important to be able to get in touch with a person when
you need to schedule, make a change to your deposition details, or have a
problem that needs a quick resolution, instead of talking to an answering
service or being forced to leave a voicemail. The best court reporting firms
also have lots of information on their website and an online scheduling tool,
so you can quickly find what you need and schedule your deposition without
picking up the phone.
