News & Events

     Everybody is concerned about the cost of litigation – especially your client.  Long gone are the days of a case consisting of a few depositions with a reporter, witness and two attorneys.  Now coordinating a deposition can involve several teams of litigators, the reporter, videographer, realtime software, laptops, additional litigation support software and staff, and even audio, video and text feeds from the room to remote counsel and staff.  It’s a lot to handle and costs can quickly get out of hand, especially for cases with a high number of witnesses.

     One of several ways Henderson Legal Services (HLS) works to reduce your litigation costs is by offering all video as a Synchronized Digital Video Transcript (SDVT) powered by DepoView™ from InData Corporation.  The power and flexibility of the SDVT makes it one of the most value-added products HLS offers.  Not only do you receive the video synchronized to the transcript, but the DepoView™ software comes equipped with tools for easily creating and exporting video clips, printing the full or condensed transcript and keyword searches.  We can deliver the SDVT on either CD or DVD and we can also link your deposition exhibits directly to the transcript so they are available at the click of a mouse.

     The true value of the SDVT, however, is not just in the power of the DepoView™ software, but the flexibility of the export options available on the disks themselves.  By exploring the contents of the disks you will find a myriad of import files for litigation support applications such as CT Summation®, LiveNote®, RealLegal® SR and TrialDirector®. Additionally, the disk contains all the source files you might need for import into other applications, such as the transcript ASCII file, the source MPEG files and exhibit scans.  With the purchase of this one product, you can cut your trial preparation costs by virtually eliminating the need for costly media conversions and avoiding lost time spent tracking down components of depositions.  Plus, HLS will archive your SDVT so that if it is lost or misplaced, it can be replaced quickly at no additional charge.  With an SDVT from Henderson Legal Services, you can be assured you’ve purchased a powerful tool to bolster your argument and save your client money.
