Professional Stenography Services

Our Team

Over 30 Years of Experience

Michelle and her team of professional stenographic court reporters bring the commitment of excellence and expertise to handle all types of legal proceedings. Our team of reporters is dedicated to providing expert, quality services that will meet your demands and exceed your expectations. We value the relationships we build with our clients, and they know they will be satisfied with our work product and the handling of sensitive exhibits when working with our team.

Since the Pandemic, we have been providing Zoom links to our clients so they have the option of remote depositions as well as in-person proceedings.

Only certified stenographic court reporters are able to clarify if there are two people speaking at once or can ask someone to repeat something that was not understood clearly or heard due to an accent or being soft-spoken. We won’t send you an uncertified digital recorder to preserve your record of proceedings and handle your sensitive exhibits. Our rates are based on the industry standards and won’t be inflated with unnecessary charges.

We’re very grateful for the many years of excellent reporting Michelle has provided!

Jeffry S. Spears – Faulkner, Spears & Chudoba, LLC

Michelle Latimer has been my preferred court reporter for over 20 years. She is
friendly, accommodating, dependable, on time and very accurate. I mainly defend
health care providers in medical malpractice cases. These cases often involve difficult medical terminology and complex medical concepts and sometimes foreign-born medical professionals who have heavy accents. Michelle handles these cases with ease and amazing accuracy. I can always count on Michelle.

Michael J. Denning – Heyl, Royster, Voelker & Allen

I truly enjoy working with Michelle Latimer. As a certified court reporter, I have found that the transcripts that Michelle produces are accurate and produced in a timely manner. Many of the cases I handle involve allegations of medical malpractice, and the testimony always involves complex verbiage pronounced different ways by different people. Many witnesses talk very fast and use complex terms quickly, and Michelle always keeps up. Over the course of multiple lengthy trials, her work ethic and production have always proven reliable, and I have seen many occasions where the Court and opposing counsel were pleasantly surprised with Michelle’s professionalism and ability to keep up with complex proceedings.

Lisa R. Munch – United States Attorney’s Office Northern District of Illinois, Western Division

I have retained Latimer Court Reporters and Michelle Latimer, CSR, RPR, for over 20 years. Michelle’s professionalism, expertise, meticulousness, and reliability are second to none, making her company and her individual services my first choice whether for deposition, hearing, or trial. When others ask for a recommendation, I endorse Michelle Latimer.

Christian J. Cosentino – The Cosentino Law Firm

We are a full-service law firm that has a thriving litigation practice and we have used Michelle Latimer as our regular reporter for over 20 years. Michelle has demonstrated herself to be the consummate professional, demonstrating patience in challenging depositions and hearings, producing accurate transcripts, and earning the respect of the attorneys and judges across Northern Illinois. Our firm has used other court reporting services in circumstances which have not allowed us to select the reporter and none of them hold a candle to Michelle Latimer. Not all court reporters are the same; performance matters, accuracy matters, turnaround time often matters. We highly recommend Michelle Latimer to any attorneys who understand that, because Michelle excels in all of those areas.

Jerrod L. Barenbaum – Allen Galluzzo Hevrin Leake, LLC

Latimer Court Reporters, Ltd., is my “Go To” court reporting firm. Michelle and her team of reporters arrive early, rarely need to interrupt, and handle all of the technology and connection issues I don’t want to deal with myself. I always get my transcripts when I want them and in the format I ask for. I don’t know why anyone would feel the need to bring in an out-of-town reporter when Michelle and her team are right here.

Tim Mahoney – Mahoney & Mahoney

My name is Tim Mahoney. I am a plaintiff’s attorney in Northwest Illinois. I have been practicing for 29 years and my family has been for over 60. I have used Michelle exclusively for several years. She is accurate, prompt, attentive and always in good spirits. I have a tendency to go fast, and she has no problem keeping up or hearing and can also turn around the transcript in whatever time you need. She is awesome.
