The Record of a Legal Proceeding is
One of the Most Important Aspects of our Industry.
After a proceeding has taken place, the record is a living document that can be referenced for future legal purposes. Being the guardian of that record is a responsibility that is not to be taken lightly. As the legal industry transitions into the digital age and technology and automation change the scope of our profession, we must respond proactively, maintaining the highest level of integrity in the verbatim record.
Enter LegalTran Transcription Services, founded by Ellen Leifer, a court reporter who has specialized in deposition work for over 35 years, and her son, Robert Leifer, a court reporter with five years of experience in legal transcription services. They recognize that the way in which a legal record is currently produced is changing right before our eyes, yet quality and fast turnaround time, hallmarks of the legal industry, must be maintained.
