FAQs

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions that may be of value to you.
  • Can your Court reporter administer an oath to a Deponent in a US Civil Court Matter?

    Customarily, if both parties agree, then the UK reporter can administer the oath. If a Notary Public is required to administer the oath, we can arrange it on your behalf.

  • Should scheduling attorney call EDS to reconfirm a deposition?

    No, we automatically call on all depositions scheduled the day before the deposition is scheduled. Of course, if the attorney has a deposition scheduled on the calendar and you have not heard from us to reconfirm, please call immediately.

  • If ordering attorney wants a real-time reporter, does attorney need to request one in advance?

    Yes, in fact many states require that advance notice be given to opposing counsel of the intent to use real-time.

  • Do you have ‘on the ground’ support?

    Yes we do, unlike US Court reporting firms, who say they have offices in Europe, when they have PO boxes. We are open from 7 am till 12pm 7 days a week , providing immediate help and support to Paralegals with Document production or any other need, however small.
