Shanna Gray Being Assertive

So one of the first lessons I have learned in my first two weeks of taking depos is the importance of being assertive. I did hearings for a couple of months before starting this. I loved doing that. OAH has really great judges! They are almost always looking out for the court reporter. They remind counsels to slow down for the reporter; they ask for testimony to be repeated when it's hard to understand, etc.

Well, I'm not there anymore, and I am the only one that will do those things…

Shanna Gray Doc depos

Just finished editing my second doctor depo. I actually kind of like them. Scary thought!! My first two weeks doing depos were a little slow. Only two. I'm hoping this week I get a few more. I wonder if I will get more doc depos??? Lol.

Shanna Gray New Reporter

I'm a new reporter. I passed the October 2011 exam. I've done Office of Administrative Hearings for the past couple of months (heard it was slow in the depo world). I just started with an agency and have only received one depo a week. I know things are starting to pick up out there, and I was hoping someone could recommend some trustworthy agencies that could use help and wouldn't mind bringing on a new reporter. Any recommendations would be very much appreciated!!

Laura Iwai Mateo What do you charge for a copy order from the court requesting a transcript?

Hi Everyone!

I need some help.  I just got a Notice to prepare transcript on appeal in the mail today from the court.  I never got one of these before.  It looks like the attorney put in a deposit of $100 already. 

But the notice states "the primary reporter must notify counsel/part, transcript services, and the Civil Appeals Unit within 15 days if the amount on deposit for reporter's fees is insufficient." 

Okay.  What do I charge for a minimum…

Crystal Help!

Hello,

I took my first depo last week and was asked to mark a motion. I'm totally clueless and not sure what that means. Can anyone please help me? I was thinking it was possibly doing a certified question page and adding it to that, but I'm not sure if that's right.

Anything helps. Thank you :)

Debi Rodgers Scoping outlook

Hey All!  I just wanted to get some input on the outlook for the scoping field.  I have been in the scoping business for 20 plus years, full-time and part-time.  I have my own scoping business.  But due to the economy downfall in the past few years, I have only been able to do it part-time, if you want to call it that.  I have since had to take a job as a legal assistant to supplement the income.  My question is:  Is there enough work out there to go back to scoping full-time, or should I…

Mary Jo Cochran Reinventing myself

I just spent the last week subbing for first grade.  This past month I told myself it was time to push (yes, push) myself forward and look for court reporting work.  All this week I was looking forward to the Christmas break, knowing that with the new year I would be moving into my old familiar world.  Tonight I am destressing with some nice wine!!!  I have come such a long way these last three years.  I am now practicing at 200/220/and 240.  My abilities and my sense of self worth have…

Diane B. Hoffman Beware of Bridge Legal

DO NOT TAKE ANY WORK FROM BRIDGE LEGAL!!!  One court reporter I know hasn't been paid for a depo she took in May.  Not only that, the scumbags aren't even picking up the phone when we call them and they are ignoring our emails.  Three reporters that I know of so…

Laura Iwai Mateo THIS AGENCY WILL NOT PAY YOU.. DO NOT WORK FOR THEM

Do not work for DCR LITIGATION (Duke Court Reporters) located in Westlake Village.  After saying they will pay for one of the few jobs I did for them back in April, I still have not received anything.  Excuses after excuses.  THEY USED TO POST ON CSR Nation, but I think their reputation is going around. 

 

I just want to warn other reporters out there so they don't end up like me....working for free.

 

Rocket Reporting is another non-paying agency.
