Court Reporting Services
Brickell offers the full spectrum of deposition and court reporting services to our clients. Brickell’s standard litigation support package includes (i) a hardcopy transcript (Original +1 or Certified Copy) in full and mini versions and (ii) USB Depo Litigation Package, which contains electronic versions of the transcript in ASCII (.txt), Etran (.ptx), PDF, PDF Minuscript, TextMap Evidence Format (.xmef), hyperlinked PDF, plus scanned exhibits. The PDF format of the transcript is considered the official document of record.
Brickell charges a per-page rate for the hardcopy transcript, which typically includes a word index. Word index pages are charged at the same per-page rate as the other transcript pages (appearance page, certification, etc.). Brickell charges a flat rate for the E-Litigation Package and for Hyperlinking. Exhibits are typically priced on a per-page basis. For time-sensitive matters, Brickell offers an expedited transcript service. Expedited transcripts are charged at an additional percentage of the per-page rate.
Clients may also choose to receive an unedited ASCII (“Rough Draft”) of the transcript in electronic format prior to the court reporter proofreading and finalizing the transcript. When prepared as a Rough Draft, the transcript may not be certified and may not be used, cited or transcribed as the certified transcript of the proceedings. The Rough Draft requires purchase of the final hardcopy transcript and is charged based on the total page count of the final hardcopy transcript, but at a reduced per-page rate.
