3 Advantages of Remote Court Reporting

Before the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, remote court reporting was not as widely used. It was standard practice to partner with a local court reporter that had to be in the room to get the job done. Now, things are starting to get back to normal, but remote court reporting continues to be a favorable option for many litigators.

Whether you are considering working with a remote court reporter for the first time or wondering if you should continue to do so, here are three advantages you should know before making your decision.

Experience over convenience

It is not uncommon for a court reporter to be chosen based on proximity, but this does not always mean you are choosing the best reporter for your deposition. When you hire a remote court reporter, you get to choose a reporter that meets your standards, from years of experience to offering every single service you need. Don’t just choose a court reporter that is convenient; choose a reporter you can trust and rely on!

Save money & time

When you hire a remote court reporter or you have a web conference deposition, there is no doubt the cost is cheaper. The cost of travel adds up to a large annual expense, and avoiding this saves you money and even time. For a remote court reporter, you will not have to worry about covering that expense.

More thorough case

Court reporters often swear in witnesses, and when you hire a remote reporter and have an online deposition, you may get more witnesses simply out of convenience. Some witnesses are out of state, others may not have the time to drive, and some may not be interested in setting aside that much time. When you work with a remote court reporter, it is convenient for everyone involved.
