Every attorney understand the importance of a winning team. Whether you are looking for an expert witness, a court reporter or a paralegal, the many moving parts of building a case require faith in the expertise of your legal staff.
The Directory of Choice for Court Reporting Firms
When it comes to court reporters, picking the right company or lone practitioner for a case is not always so obvious, particularly for attorneys who need to travel across the state or the nation.
Our team has researched the top court reporter directories online in an effort to provide our readers with a comprehensive review of their options. The winner, hands down, is the National Network Reporting Company (NNRC). Their court reporter directory is searchable in a number of ways and includes a number of superb legal resources ranging from a blog on legal news to an Areas of Practice section for various types of legal professionals.

Searchable Menus
The directory includes a searchable menu organized by three sections: USA, Canada, and Europe. This menu includes many sub-sections for cities and states/provinces. The geographical division of the members is accompanied by a member’s index as well. There is also an immediate link to book a firm where an NNRC representative will process the request and distribute it to the appropriate member.
NNRC is a unique organization in many ways, not least because of their state-of-the-art and searchable directory. Users can explore the list of reporting companies by name, city, or state. Each facet of the search index includes a built-in navigation menu and clickable map of the United States.
A good court reporting company will provide services as varied as transcriptions, conference room rentals, litigation support, videoconferencing and, of course, real time reporting for depositions and other needs. Each NNRC member offers these services and many more. Each company in the NNRC family is pre-screened and must pass a membership review before joining the organization.
Legal News, Trends and Technologies
Even more impressive is the NNRC blog which acts as both a legal news source and an index of newly-created pages and other content for the entirety of the site.
NNRC is one of the nation’s oldest court reporting organizations with a very high standard of services and inter-member cooperation. For court reporting professionals the NNRC list of resources is a superb index of articles and documents on the latest trends, technologies and events within the reporting and litigation support industries.
