Court Reporting Is Not One-Size
Transcribes All. Karasch & Associates Offers
Opportunity to Match Court Reporters to Needs of the Case
West Chester “Chester County”, PA, November
19, 2008 – Court reporters are examples
of behind-the-scenes workers who go about their jobs in a quiet
and professional manner and most people assume they are appointed
or selected at random. But when attorneys are in a position
to choose a court reporter, they have certain criteria, depending
on the case and often look for the reporter with the appropriate
qualifications. A court reporter's accurate skills, reliable
performance and familiarity with subject matter can make for
an exemplary transcript. A trusted court reporter is
often a key member of the legal team.
Because court reporting is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all,
Karasch & Associates has created Litigation Support My
Way™ to allow clients to choose which options best meet
their specific case needs. This includes a selection
of qualified court reporters and a number of delivery options
such as hourly, rush, expedited and real-time reporting. Karasch
Case Consultants review the overall case and the history to
recommend the most economical and timely options available.
Familiarity Brings Confidence
"When considering a court reporter, attorneys
tell us they first need someone who is on time and prepared. They
don’t want to wait for the court reporter to start the
deposition,” explains Henry Karasch, RMR, CSR (DE), Founder
of Karasch & Associates, a company that manages and fulfills
all court reporting and litigation needs.
Good reporters need the right experience and a degree
of sensitivity. Like many professionals, attorneys develop
a personalized style as they work cases. For example,
oftentimes there will be a rhythm to the questioning in a legal
proceeding and the last thing needed is a court reporter interrupting
the flow with unnecessary questions or unfamiliarity with the
subject.
"Many attorneys like to work with the same court
reporter. We act like matchmakers, so they can choose
from any of our reporters, at any level of ability, or specialty
and we will do our very best to make sure they are assigned
the preferred reporter," said Linda Karasch, CLVS, Co-founder
and CEO.
"We're making it convenient for attorneys to get
the service they need and provide and obtain information in
the easiest way for a competitive price, with no sacrifice
of high quality service,” said Linda Karasch.

Delaware and New Jersey, provides a full spectrum of litigation
support services, including document management , court reporting,
