From our clients

What clients say about SF Reporters

“SF Reporters has been my first choice for years, including countless depositions and several trials. Their transcripts are impeccable and completely reliable. Karla is the consummate professional and very easy to work with. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Matthew S. KahnGibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP · San Francisco

About

The transcript is what the judge reads, what the appellate court relies on, and what outlasts the case. It should be exact.

SF Reporters is a boutique agency of local certified reporters who know San Francisco's courts. We've reported civil, criminal, and family law trials, complex litigation, asbestos matters, and law and motion. Bring us a matter, and we cover it end-to-end, with rates and terms in writing before the job and no surprises at the end.

In California, the official record requires a certified shorthand reporter. Digital recordings and AI drafts have their uses, but they cannot certify a transcript or stand as the record on appeal. Founded by Karla Ellis-Davis, CSR RPR.

CSR Suite

We also build the tools the profession runs on.

Your rates. Your terms. Your business.

CSR Suite is our booking and billing platform for working reporters, built in-house and shaped by twenty years on both sides of the agency relationship.

Terms confirmed in writing before the job. Payment that arrives without a collections campaign. Made for the people who keep the record.

For reporters

A panel we actually trust.

We keep a panel of certified Bay Area reporters, with rates and terms settled in writing before anyone takes a job. If you're a certified reporter who wants on the panel, or a firm that needs coverage, get in touch.
