<p>Have your attorney demand all notes, files, audio from this reporter. Do not send any money to her at this point. Instead of having the depos taken over again, see if her files and audio is sufficient to certify the transcripts. if her files are sufficient, you or a colleague will have to produce the transcripts with stipulated agreement by the attorneys. In my other firm, a reporter died, and all attorneys agreed another reporter could produce a transcript based on the deceased reporter's files. Report her to any board she can be reported to in New York, including the notary public board. If she cannot or will not produce her files, calculate the expense to redo the depos, and have your attorney file a lawsuit against her. The attorney should take it on contingency. We had a reporter completely lose all her files, don't know how, on a depo, and the depo had to be redone. The reporter was on the hook and had to pay for all expenses, witness, lawyers, everything. Hope that gives some insight.</p> So sorry for you.

<p>So sorry for you. I had a similar situation with Cynthia Purcell, CA CSR out of Orange County. The attorney contacted her repeatedly to get the transcripts. It was all bad, bad, bad. I sent her a copy of the BPC with her check after she finally sent them in. So glad that's behind me. I contacted the CA Board of CR and they told me I absolutely had grounds for a complaint, but I'm hoping my letter I sent with her fat check will show her the errors of her ways. I believe in Karma.

<p>Kelli, this was my experience a few years back except it was a scopist supposedly from Florida. I have all the e-mails she sent me stating she was done with all four or five days' work and was proofing. The deadline was getting close so I finally confronted her and that's when she tells me there's no way she can finish my work, that my notes were a mess, etc, but she sent me an invoice for a very small amount so I knew something was wrong.

Yes, my notes were trash because I was a newly-hired Official at a court and had been ill for couple of months before hire date. I would love to know the name of the person. Maybe she moved to New York or something. Let me know!! Thanks</p> Hey, Roberta-Anne,

<p>Hey, Roberta-Anne,</p>
<p>After all the dust settles please let us know what happened and why this reporter dropped off the face of the earth. Of course, you can fill us in sans names. </p>
<p>I'm so glad you are getting your transcripts. What a nightmare.</p>

<p>I have sought counsel and am close to receiving all my work. Thanks for all your suggestions and support. Chris, your post is stellar. And Kelli, I am 99.99 % sure she's not on this page. I can certainly give you her name and will message you shortly.</p>
<p>TIA</p>

<p>I just don't get it. Why take the work if you're not going to turn in the transcript. You won't ever get paid if you don't turn in the transcript.</p>

<p>Roberta, I've had the very same thing happen. Unfortunately, our hands are tied. However, in the instance I was dealing with, I explained as much to the attorney, and his immediate response was that he'd have a warrant for arrest issued so the reporter could sit in a cell while the tript was produced. It did the trick. He got the transcript immediately. </p>

<p>In another instance I was contacted by a lawyer seeking my advice on what to do to get tripts from another reporter. So I called the reporter to see if I could assist in any way. Interestingly, that did the trick also. I listened. I assured that no one was angry...more concerned for the reporter's welfare and that testimony was needed for evidence in the case. Reporter was more frightened at the repercussions. In that instance I was a non-interested third party. </p>
<p>That's the sum of my experience with this situation. Good luck.</p>

<p>I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but my gut feeling is she is probably incapable of producing a transcript and that's why it's taking her so long. Maybe her audio malfunctioned and her notes are crap. If she hasn't turned in jobs from April, there's no way she's going to do yours. I would contact your client and see about redoing the depos, then tell her you'll sue her for the costs of retaking the depos. The longer you wait, the worse it's going to get. Good luck!
