I have the highest respect, trust and confidence in Melissa Watkins and her team of court reporters. They have proven time and time again to be accurate, reliable and efficient. As a litigator, I need to know that I can rely on my court reporter to be at a deposition or hearing early, be professional, prepare a clean and accurate transcript and provide a speedy turnaround when necessary (which is far more often than not!) I can happily report that Watkins Court Reporters has met and even exceeded my expectations 100% of the time!
