“Great experience every time I’ve worked with B&A. Their team is friendly, efficient, and the transcript quality is always excellent.”
“I had occasion to need a court reporter to cover a deposition at the last minute. … Justin picked up on the second ring and when I blurted out my dilemma, he had me scheduled within 15 minutes, Zoom link and all!”
“From start to finish, the team is always professional, organized, and incredibly responsive. Scheduling is easy, communication is clear, and everything always runs smoothly.”

WHY CHOOSE B&A LITIGATION SERVICES?
Five-Day Standard Turnaround
Remote depositions: five business days. In-person: seven. The common industry standard is ten. No expedite fee on standard delivery. Expedites and rough drafts available upon request.
A Certified Court Reporter in the Room
Every deposition we cover in Washington is taken by a state-certified reporter who swears the witness, makes the record as it happens, and signs the certification page, not a recorder running equipment for someone to transcribe later. The reporter who heard it certifies it.
Exhibits Handled for the Whole Case
Ask us and we track every exhibit across every deposition, indexed sequentially and accessible to the reporter. Nobody has to ask which number they’re on, and a document that comes back with a later witness keeps its original number. Originals archived until trial. We don’t charge for it. On a first deposition in a case, we’ll offer it.
Picture-in-Picture Depositions
The witness and the exhibit in a single frame, in person, hybrid, or remote. Exhibit handling is complimentary when you book a B&A videographer. Other agencies call us when they can’t run the setup.
Realtime Court Reporting
Read the testimony live on your laptop or tablet as the witness speaks, in the room or as remote counsel. Same-day notice is fine, a Certified Realtime Reporter is on our roster, and the certified transcript follows on our standard turnaround.
Legal and Audio Transcription
Court hearings, 911 calls, and recorded statements turned into reviewed transcripts with clear speaker identification. Our transcriptionists hold the AAERT CET credential, and standard turnaround is 10 business days.
Nothing Hidden on the Invoice
Six people on the Zoom doesn’t mean six Zoom fees. No archive fee for holding your own transcript. Every charge appears as its own line item on the invoice. The fees we do charge are intentional, and none of them are hidden.
Virtual Depositions Done Properly
Zoom, Webex, and Teams, with published best practices and a troubleshooting guide we wrote ourselves. Need the link today because the notice goes out today? Ask and it’s yours.
Reporters and Videographers Since 1980
Forty-six years in Washington. B&A is court reporter owned: co-owner Sarah Fitzgibbon still takes depositions every week, boots on the ground, not retired.
Nationwide Coverage
Deponent out of state? You don’t need to start vetting agencies. We cover it through our nationwide network of court reporting firms, court reporters and videographers both. Same point of contact, same invoice.

Nationwide Coverage
When your deponent is in another state, we arrange the court reporter and the legal videographer for you. B&A has a large network of court reporting firms and court reporters throughout the nation, including the members of DepoSpan, a nationwide association of court reporting firms that B&A belongs to. You don’t have to find and vet an unfamiliar agency, and you keep one point of contact at B&A and one invoice.
And when the witness has no setup of their own, we can arrange for Zoom-ready equipment to be taken to them anywhere in the country. Tell us where they’ll be and we find someone in that area, who stays for the whole deposition.
