firstcourt

First Court delivers court reporting, legal videography, and trial presentation services throughout Washington D.C., Virginia, and Maryland from its regional headquarters. The firm's technical capabilities include real-time reporting, synchronized video depositions with linked exhibits, and remote deposition management through secure digital platforms. Their e-transcript system integrates with major litigation software suites for seamless document handling and case preparation. The company operates as part of IMS Consulting & Expert Services following a strategic acquisition that expanded both organizations' service offerings. This merger combined First Court's established jury consulting and trial presentation infrastructure with IMS's expert witness network and advisory services. The integration created a unified platform serving law firms, corporate counsel, and government agencies across the mid-Atlantic region. First Court maintains dedicated practice groups in intellectual property, antitrust litigation, and financial services disputes. Their court reporters hold current certifications from the National Court Reporters Association and state boards. The firm's trial presentation specialists deploy standardized protocols for handling sensitive materials while supporting proceedings in federal, state, and administrative venues.
