Your entire scheduling team gets things done quickly and efficiently!!! In the 2 years that I have been working with your company, I have NEVER had a complaint — unless being too efficient is cause for complaint! 🙂 Just FYI — I don’t. I wish more companies were like yours!

We had an issue with a tablet returned by a deponent packaged incorrectly/poorly. David Andre worked diligently to get it up and running for us. We love the GREAT service (always), the scope of services available, as well as the range of locations (ie; worldwide!). Our Rep. Kyle Hill is TOP NOTCH. Always available for questions, to help, or just to offer a fun or kind word. Scheduling staff is also very helpful. I love your company!

Once again Planet Depos steps up and knocks it out of the park. Thank you – to your whole team and Debbie – for handling an arbitration hearing OVER ZOOM and never, not one time, wavering on your customer support. If I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, you are simply the best.
Sarah R. IP Litigation Paralegal, Venable LLP
Ann Marie, Wow. Less than a week after you sent me an email telling me about your employment with Planet Depos, we hired Planet Depos, whom I had never heard of. The videographer and the court reporter just left, and we could not be more impressed, satisfied, and overjoyed at what a great job they did. First of all, they totally accommodated us on short notice. Beyond that they did an awesome job in recording the deposition, which I thought would have lasted an hour but lasted more than three hours. Thank you for reaching out to me. I am a happy new customer and will recommend Planet Depos to anyone who needs a highly professional team for their video or regular depositions.
Matt C., Partner, Roberts & Caruso
“I realized that I had not scheduled a court reporter for a deposition scheduled yesterday. I called your organization and scheduling was able to get a court reporter so the depo could proceed as planned. Thank you. I am very appreciative for the prompt response.”
Debra T. Paralegal at Meyers, Rodbell & Rosenbaum P.A.
David, you were a significant member of our trial team. Not just for your tech skills. You delivered on that (maybe learned some stuff along the way) but your unflappable never say no attitude is what I value and valued most. This was as high a stakes trial as I will ever handle, with a lot of complicated stuff and a lot of pressure. Never having to worry about your piece and having you there is court each day provided more comfort than I think you appreciated. I will always demand that I get you for any other trial and recommend you highly to anyone who asks.
Principal, Miles & Stockbridge

“Just recently discovered Planet Depos but so far they ROCK. Kyle has been all over getting me whatever I need – from finding me a location for a videoconference depo in a backwoods town to making sure all my exhibits were present and accounted for – his team has set the bar high with immediate responses to my inquiries.”

“Jacque Wolf and her team at Planet Depos are reliable, easy to work with, and offer great pricing. We have used their team for several depositions lately, including some with a very short turn-around time, and they have always delivered outstanding service. The transcripts are delivered electronically & on time via their easy to use portal. Their staff is very accessible should anything arise. I highly recommend working with Jacque Wolf and her team at Planet Depos”

Legal Secretary
“The service we received from Planet Depos was not merely competent, but far surpassed any expectations. The court reporter for the arbitration recorded testimony for 8 or more hours a day for 3 weeks and transmitted fantastic rough transcripts only a couple hours after each day’s testimony. She was the first to arrive, and by far the last to leave the proceedings each day. It was amazing to work with someone who worked as hard as we did. Every final transcript we’ve received is perfect.
Once I have placed my request for court reporter services, whether local, in another state or another country, I do not have to give the request a second thought. The depositions are delivered in the format(s) requested on time and without any unexpected surprises.
Not only is every member of the team a professional in scheduling and taking depositions, but they are truly expert when emergencies arise, having provided court reporters and deposition suites within hours when the need arose.”

Partner
“Planet Depos provided us with excellent, personal service during depositions at two locations in Japan.

“Planet Depos is awesome!! Over my 20+ years as a legal assistant, they are by far the best court reporting company I have used. There is nothing they cannot do for you (finding a video conference location in another state, locating an interpreter or videographer, etc.)– and they do so in a very friendly yet professional way. In addition, you can rely on their transcripts being accurate. I have had numerous other court reporting companies vying for my business over the years, but I remain loyal to Planet because they are the best.”

Prior to the formation of Planet Depos, our firm enjoyed a long-standing business relationship with the principals of this family-owned business, so it was an easy transition to make Planet Depos our go-to vendor. There is never any doubt that the Planet Depos court reporters and videographers will be tremendously skilled, efficient and dependable, and you will always find their office support staff to be knowledgeable and accommodating. Without hesitation, I would recommend the services of Planet Depos for all of your reporting and litigation support needs.”

On short notice, we contacted Planet Depos for assistance with exhibits during trial. We were very fortunate that David Andre was assigned to lend a hand. David not only handled all the exhibit issues with ease and considerable grace under pressure, he became a valued member of the trial team, participating in strategy discussions and offering keen insight throughout. Beyond that, David was very personable and great to work with. I would welcome the opportunity to work with David again and would enthusiastically recommend him to any other Planet Depo clients. Thanks again for having such great personnel in general and David Andre in particular.”

“Planet Depos’ trial team helped me create a sleek and professional PowerPoint presentation for my opening and closing and also helped me display and highlight critical evidence throughout the trial. They worked with my experts and defendant to enable them to use a laptop from the witness stand to display CT scans on the monitors and projector screen. This was very effective and the jury was visibly captivated. Both the trial technicians and the support staff at Planet Depos were very flexible, working nights and weekends to refine our presentation. They became a part of our team and I would definitely retain them for future trials.”

They are always friendly, polite and extremely helpful. On a few occasions, I have been in a pinch and needed a court reporter the same day. Every time, they have come through for me. Their reporters are also more than willing to accommodate our “immediate” needs, that being the need for a rough draft of a transcript in very short order. I can’t say enough about Planet Depos and, of course, the DiMonte family. They make me feel like “family.”
Paralegal
“I just want to write a testimonial on a deposition and two pre-deposition meetings in New Zealand last month. This was the first time we attempted to set up something in a foreign country. You took the “bull by the horns and ran with it.” There was very little that I or our IT manager had to do. You arranged the deposition and meetings and all we had to do was have our witness show up.
I was amazed how you can actually “see” someone who is halfway around the world from you. All of these meetings went on without a hitch anywhere. There was a quick response to any issues that came up, and you were very professional. The calls were placed on exactly the minute they were supposed to.
I would certainly recommend Planet Depos to anyone.”

She was the first to arrive, and by far the last to leave the proceedings each day. It was amazing to work with someone who worked as hard as we did. Every final transcript we’ve received is perfect.
Communications revealed that the reporter worked numerous weekends to give us the transcripts as quickly as possible and the effort is greatly appreciated by our attorneys working on post-hearing briefing. Not only was she hard-working, but she was friendly, courteous, and a joy to have in the hearing each day. We couldn’t be happier with how Planet Depos handled the reporting.”

Paralegal
“I also wanted to give my highest compliments to Zack from Planet Depos. He helped us out tremendously during trial with exhibits, opening and closing statement and in many other ways. He had a printer and a lap top right in the court room which was very helpful when we needed to make edits or redactions to exhibits or submit modified during instructions directly to the court based on rulings. He was also cool as cucumber during the entire trial and was always available late at night and on weekends to help us out as the trial progressed. It was a great feeling to be able to ask for any exhibit or any specific page of any exhibit on the fly during cross and not only did you know it would show up instantly on all the screens in the court – it was always spot on.”
Partner
“Every employee that I have had the pleasure of coming in contact with has been extremely friendly, helpful and professional. From scheduling with Jennifer Stewart who was very patient and kind as I was scheduling a group of depositions at one time, to Jessica York who came and introduced herself just one day after I scheduled! It is not often these days that companies will go out of their way to show their appreciation and she definitely did. She was very helpful in explaining all the other wonderful services that are offered and last but not least, Dawn Hart our court reporter who was punctual, experienced and exceptionally courteous. We will definitely be using them again and I would recommend their services to anyone!”

With all the other challenges involved in preparing for trial, it is comforting to know that I can always count on Planet Depos to support me and handle all things related to court reporting. “
Partner
“I do want to take the opportunity to let you know how awesome Suzanne and Neal are. I had an issue today with exhibits not getting to Japan in time for the depo on Monday. They were both amazing in getting me information and an alternative option of instead of mailing the exhibits, having them printed in Japan and delivered to my attorneys at their hotel. I cannot begin to express how much we appreciate the help in not only getting the depos set but sending us all the information we need to conduct an international deposition and making sure we have everything so it goes as smoothly as possible.”
Paralegal
“Planet Depos provides excellent service in Asia. Many different logistical problems arise in conducting depositions in Asia and they know the ropes and the details and are able to solve these problems and get the job done. They have exceptional personnel and state-of-the-art equipment. They are also very familiar with working in translation, which is not a simple thing. I highly recommend them.”
Partner
“I must let you know how much we appreciate all of the work that Planet Depos does for us. We have an extremely busy practice group and can always depend on your help. Not only are we always able to depend on the quality of the work, last minute projects or requests, the ability to let you know that we have a deposition in Timbuktu – and you can handle the logistics for us, but our rep – Matt Workman – is the absolute BEST EVER!!! He really is the very best at what he does and we truly enjoy seeing him. It is so nice to know we have your efforts on our side. Thank you for all that you and your team do.”
Paralegal
“Before Planet Depos came on the scene, my staff was consumed with sorting through the daunting procedures and protocols associated with taking depositions in the Asia-Pacific region. But PD’s seamless assistance based on their local experience with visas, conference rooms, hotels, interpreters, videographers and more eases that burden so that we can focus our attention on getting the testimony we need overseas. And the fact that they bring several realtime laptops to depositions is just icing on the cake. I recommend them without hesitation.”

“Planet Depos is much more than a court reporting service. They are an invaluable Asia-based resource to those who face the complicated and extensive procedures for taking depositions in Japan, providing much-appreciated guidance at each step along the way. They are highly knowledgeable, have an excellent working relationship with the Embassy and Consulate staff and are a pleasure to work with. Planet Depos provides full-service reporting, including realtime monitors and daily transcripts. I look forward to working with them again.”
Partner
“Planet Depos accuracy is exceptional, especially with technical terminology and issues related to native Japanese speakers — skills they no doubt acquired from being in the unique position of living and working in Japan.”
Partner
“You would be a crazy gaijin if you tried to take a deposition in Japan without using Planet Depos. You can look up the procedures on the U.S. Embassy’s website and try to follow what is written there, but Planet Depos helps you to navigate everything that is unwritten about deposition-taking in Japan. It is a pleasure working with Jodi and her staff, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.”
