ABOUT FindACourtReporter.net

An alarming trend in the freelance court reporting world prompted the creation of FindACourtReporter.net. It became apparent that local court reporters were suffering loss of jobs to large “court reporting” firms that advertise on the Internet, claiming to have reporters available all across the country. What most attorneys and other hiring parties don’t realize when they utilize these services is that these firms do not have court reporters on staff all over the nation; they simply call a local reporter in the area where the job is to take place, and ask the court reporter to cover the job for them.

So in the end, the local court reporter does, in fact, get the job, but at such a cost to both the reporter and the hiring party! It’s obvious why the local court reporter doesn’t like this arrangement. For compensation, the reporter must take whatever rate the firm offers them, which is usually a greatly reduced sum. But why would the hiring party care? It’s because a big portion of the invoice they are paying goes directly to a middleman!

Here at FindACourtReporter.net, we believe that a hiring party can receive a tremendous benefit from having a one-on-one relationship directly with the court reporter they are utilizing, without the necessity of a go-between agent. It’s understandable that the hiring party enjoys the ease of a helpful website to eliminate research time, and because of that, we have created this site with the sole mission of putting parties directly in contact with the perfect court reporter for the job, wherever that may be.

This concept is long overdue in our field, but now that it’s here, we believe it will quickly become an invaluable resource in law firms, courthouses, corporate offices, and anywhere else that understands the importance of finding a quality court reporter.
