Several of our clients are booking us to provide reporting services for the courts but I want to see if we could be listed on the court reporters by county/court page as well. We also want to see where we can get a list of reporters that were laid off so we can use them first when our clients ask us to provide services.

While we don’t have layoff lists for people in Alameda & San Francisco, we would urge CR readers to contact / register with U.S. Legal Support. It seems they wish to use you back inside the courts in which you previously worked.

WANTED COURT REPORTER FOR DEPOSITIONS – San Bernardino
Independent contract court reporters needed for private civil depositions in the
isolated Wild West of San Bernardino County, one of the most
corrupt in all of California.
Anti-gay hostility and hate, witch hunts, Sheriff misconduct, attorney misconduct,
judicial misconduct, and more — we have it all. Some cases have counsel
representation, others are pro per.
Established court reporting agency level
fees and minimum billing structures are simply too expensive
to depose all the witnesses who could be useful.
Principals send inquiry to anticorruption@nym.hush.com

If you are a laid off court reporter in San Francisco or Alameda County, U.S. Legal support (listed above) has requested contact lists of those laid off. Unfortunately, we don’t have such a list. However, CR’s might wish to contact them and get on their CR list for jobs that come up in the courts.

You say you’re: “Looking for experienced, certified court reporters to add to our network for various projects throughout CA courts we are invited to bid on.” ?????
Your site advertises:
“Our primary goal is to provide a professional transcription service to you at affordable rates, and we guarantee a 98% accuracy rate for “good” audio files with up to two speakers in the recording.” ?????
Wow, you can transcribe up to two speakers with good audio? And the courts are taking bids for this? Is this for real?
