The Work
Depositions, hearings, trials, and recorded interviews.
- VerbatimEvery word on the record — crosstalk, false starts, difficult accents, and hard-to-hear audio, all captured.
- FormattedQ&A, colloquy, exhibits, parentheticals, and sidebars — laid out to your state's requirements or the federal standard, not a generic template.
- CertifiedEvery transcript is certified and signed before it goes out. My name goes on the record next to yours.

The Transcriptionist
I'm Kelly Frisby. I spent twenty years in tech as a technical writer, business analyst, and project manager — work built on precise language and careful listening. Legal transcription isn't a career change so much as a distillation: keep the accuracy and the language, drop the meetings.
I work from Loveland, Colorado, and take the view that a transcript is a legal instrument, not a typing exercise.
