THIS INFORMATION IS TO LET YOU KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 (CORONA VIRUS) OUTBREAK AND THE THEREFORE VERY NECESSARY IMPLEMENTATION OF SOCIAL DISTANCE, Q&A COURT REPORTING, IN AN EFFORT TO DO ITS PART TO ASSIST, WILL BE OFFERING DEPOSITION AND EUO PROCEEDINGS THROUGH VIDEO TELECONFERENCE USING THE VARIOUS MEANS AVAILABLE, TO INCLUDE ZOOM, SKYPE, FACE-TIME, ALL AT “AT-COST” RATES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. WITH THE USE OF LAPTOP COMPUTERS, OUR COURT REPORTERS WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO FURTHER EXPAND COURT REPORTING SERVICES TO ASSIST WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING.
HOWEVER, PLEASE KNOW THAT Q&A IS STILL ALSO WILLING TO SHOW UP IN PERSON FOR PROCEEDINGS.
ADDITIONALLY, WE WOULD LIKE TO RESPECT THE REQUEST FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING BY HALTING PHYSICAL DELIVERIES OF TRANSCRIPTS IN TWO MANNERS. ONE, FOR THOSE WHO ARE OKAY WITH RECEIVING AN E-TRAN OR ASCII TEXT FILE OF A TRANSCRIPT ONLY, WE WILL CONTINUE TO E-MAIL THOSE. TO ANYONE WHO REQUESTS A HARD PAPER COPY AND/OR NEEDS THEIR SEALED ORIGINAL FOR COURT PURPOSES, TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, WE WILL MAIL THOSE PAPER TRANSCRIPTS AND SEALED ORIGINALS AS OPPOSED TO HAND DELIVERY.
BECAUSE THE SEALED ORIGINAL IS NEEDED PRIMARILY FOR COURT TRIALS OR COURT OR HEARING PROCEEDINGS, AT THE TIME IN THE FUTURE THAT A SEALED ORIGINAL WOULD BE NEEDED, WE CAN QUICKLY AND IMMEDIATELY PRINT, SEAL AND MAIL THE ORIGINAL SEALED TRANSCRIPT. WE WILL STILL HAND DELIVER ANY PHYSICAL PAPER TRANSCRIPT AND/OR SEALED ORIGINAL IF IT IS NEEDED SAME DAY.
FOR MORE INFORMATION, DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL OR E-MAIL US. WE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF THIS PANDEMIC.
With kindest regards, and respectfully,
