Reporter Testimonials

There are so many things I love about being a court reporter. No two days are ever the same. We get to work on such a wide variety of cases, so every day brings something new and interesting. Even though each case is different, my role remains the same: making sure every word is captured accurately and preserving the official record. It’s rewarding to know that I’m playing an important part in the legal process, even if I’m working behind the scenes.



I’m also incredibly grateful to work for Universal. The staff is always willing to go above and beyond to help with anything that comes up, and that kind of support gives you the confidence to focus on doing your job well. I’m proud to be a part of such an amazing team.

After having worked for 45 years as a freelance stenograph reporter and having worked at several different firms, I am so very happy to be working with Universal. Everybody that works for Universal supports their reporters. Everyone is professional, always willing to help me with any issues I have. In my opinion they pass above the bar for excellence in providing court reporting services. A+!!!

Precision meets purpose. Court reporting is a career built on skill, dedication, and a commitment to accuracy. It’s more than just capturing words for the record; it is about preserving history, justice, and people’s stories.



Over the past eight years with Universal Court Reporting, I have grown tremendously—not only as a court reporter, but as a professional. This profession requires dedication, focus, and most importantly, a passion for attention to detail. I truly love what I do, and I hope others discover the same joy and purpose that this profession and Universal Court Reporting have given me.
