COURT REPORTING SERVICES IN PUERTO RICO

REALwriters of Puerto Rico has quickly gained the respect and recognition of many loyal clients, not only in Puerto Rico, but throughout the Caribbean and the United States as well.  Our attention to detail and innovative pricing structure have sparked the interest of law firms everywhere.

ATTENTION U.S. ATTORNEYS!
Counsel and/or agencies practicing outside of Puerto Rico, looking to book depositions on the island, should be aware that in Puerto Rico it has been the accepted practice for the past 25 years to use tape recording systems in lieu of certified steno reporters as the means of making the record.  This has been done for the simple reason that in Puerto Rico there are no court reporting schools; thus, no real court reporters.
 
REALwriters of Puerto Rico is the exception.  We are the only agency in Puerto Rico with an ample staff of NCRA-certified shorthand reporters, trained, educated, and experienced in the U.S., capable of covering everything from your basic depositions to your big-litigation cases and arbitrations, including realtime and rough-drafts.  
 
So keep in mind, when shopping for a reliable court reporting agency in Puerto Rico for your English jobs, that you will never receive anything other than a certified shorthand reporter.  No other local agency can make that claim, nor the same guarantee.

Our court reporters utilize the latest technology and have handled nationally famous cases, such as:  The Oklahoma Bombing trialPhilip Morris tobacco cases; RJ Reynolds tobacco warehouse fire litigation; Kaiser Aluminum explosion hearings; the EgyptAir case; depositions involving general and commercial aviation cases in the U.S., Europe, South and Central America and the Caribbean, involving Piper Aircraft, Bell Helicopter, McDonnell Douglas, Boeing; speeches by a U.S. Vice President as well as R. Buckminster Fuller and Richard Daley, Sr.Watergate depositions; depositions in Butkus v. The Chicago Bears; depositions in the recent Tobacco Farmers litigation; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission hearings; and many of the high-profile cases in Puerto Rico, at both the deposition and trial stage, including the current 2004 Gubernatorial Election Recount court hearings.

We provide an array of litigation support services, whether for your big-case litigation or smaller-scale jobs, including:
  • Realtime Transcripts/Rough Drafts
  • Daily, expedited, or regular delivery, in Spanish or English

Realtime court reporter in Puerto RicoOUR PRODUCTS

Please call REALwriters at 787-726-3390 for a live demo on how our products can save you time, effort, and money spent on research, summarizing, annotating, and generating reports.  You owe it to yourself and to your clients to be the first law firms in Puerto Rico to profit from this amazing technology.

*** When considering the following  products, keep in mind that a recent Price Waterhouse study required a paralegal to find 20 documents out of 20,000.  After 67 hours of  searching, the paralegal found 15 of the requested 20 documents.  Given the same task, an optical imaging system – like our Optical Character Recognition technology --  found all 20 documents in less than three seconds.

Realtime Transcripts
Realtime is achieved by a special software in the court reporter's laptop which receives the steno feed from the reporter's steno machine.  This CAT software instantaneously translates the steno notes into English (or Spanish, as the case may be), producing a rough-draft transcript which can be read from the reporter's computer screen, or immediately passed on to the attorney via "rough ASCII disk" at the conclusion of the proceedings, or right onto the attorney's laptop simultaneously through REALwriter’s Binder realtime software.
 
Binder
Capture, analyze, digest and share discovery.   Binder is the legal industry’s award-winning software for managing multiple transcripts and exhibits. It is the only discovery management solution delivering the ideal tools for transcript intensive cases within a completely user-friendly interface (based on Windows 2000 technology).  Searching, issue coding, annotating, digesting, reporting, and exhibit linking are fundamentals within the high-performance software.  Binder is used at the firm, on the road, during realtime depositions, or even via the Web to share projects with co-counsel, expert witnesses, or remote attorneys.

  • Binder Is High Powered.   Binder is powered by the latest in litigation technology. Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Web collaboration, synchronized video, and bundled imports of transcripts, documents and video are among its cutting-edge assets.
  • Binder Is Pure and Simple.   Binder does not require intense training to put it to work. Its interactive control panes, modeled after the familiar Microsoft Outlook interface, keep active discovery, reports, annotations and issues within easy access.
  • In June of 2003, Binder received the 2003 @Award for “Favorite Transcript Management Solution” from the TechnoLawyer Community.   Binder has won this award two years in a row.
