DORIS O. WONG ASSOCIATES, INC., CELEBRATES ITS 45th ANNIVERSARY AND UNVEILS ITS NEW LOGO

We are pleased to announce that we are celebrating our 45^th anniversary this month!  We are very proud of all that we have accomplished since we first opened our doors, both for the legal community and for our profession.

First and foremost, we are industry leaders in embracing new technology.  For years all a court reporter needed was a Stenograph machine and a typewriter to produce transcripts.  When computer-aided transcription first became available in the late 1970s, we were the first court reporting agency in Boston, and one of the first in the country, to get on board.  Since that time, we have grown with each exciting development to the point where our reporters are now capable of providing instantaneous translation directly to counsel’s laptops, even wirelessly.  As a profession, we have seen over a half dozen iterations of the Stenograph machine make their way into the marketplace.  These ergonomically designed machines are incredible workhorses and engineering marvels that allow reporters to keep on top of their game.   

Of course there is more to the field of court reporting today than producing hard copy transcripts.  The Internet has created many opportunities to better serve our clients.  Today transcripts can be sent in multiple formats and can be easily accessed even if counsel are away from their desks.  The popularity of the iPad and other portable electronic devices will lead to the development of new applications in the legal arena that will bring counsel even more flexibility in their practice.  Mobile video conferencing is another service we will soon be providing.  This will allow attorneys to attend depositions regardless of whether a video conference unit is available on either side of the call. 

So much has changed in 45 years.  More changes will undoubtedly follow, all of which require a huge commitment of time and expense, as well as a steep learning curve, but the rewards and benefits to our clients make our efforts worthwhile.

As we unveil our new logo, we renew our commitment to provide the legal community with the best products and the most reliable service all at competitive prices.
