About Us

Our Mission & Vision

Latimer Court Reporters, Ltd., is a boutique court reporting agency located in Sycamore, Illinois. Our firm was founded by Michelle R. Latimer, who has been a Certified Court Reporter and Registered Professional Reporter for over 30 years. She started her career in Chicago and then moved out to the Rockford area. We handle work in the Rockford and surrounding areas, as well as the Chicagoland suburbs. Our team of stenographic court reporters are ready to work with you on your cases

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 uses the most up-to-date technology available in the court reporting industry to provide our clients with the most options.  Our reporters are dedicated to providing professional 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.

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. Transcripts by digital recorders are not admissible in Court. Our rates are based on the industry standards and won’t be inflated with unnecessary charges.

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.
