About Us

At CREST, we’re more than just a court reporting agency. We’re your trusted local partner in the legal process. With over 30 years of experience reporting in all facets of legal proceedings, our team brings not only technical expertise, but a deep, working knowledge of how the courts truly operate.

What sets us apart is our team. Most of our reporters are former “official” court reporters, giving us knowledge and insight into courtroom dynamics, judicial preferences and procedural protocol that only comes from years of experience.

But what truly defines CREST is our personal approach. We take the time to understand your needs, your case and your concerns. Whether it’s a sensitive family law matter, a complex civil case or a high-profile trial, we provide meticulous, reliable service with the professionalism and discretion you deserve.

At CREST, you’re not just a client, you're a colleague and your success is our mission.

Testimonials

“I have worked with CREST Reporting on many occasions and have always been impressed with their professionalism. They have always gone above and beyond to make sure my needs were met.  They are prompt, efficient and personable whether reporting in the courtroom for trial or at a deposition.  It’s great having such reliable and competent court reporters and the fact that they are a pleasure to work with puts them at the top of my list.”

-Chase Martin (Attorney at Adamski, Moroski, Madden, Cumberland & Green LLP)

“I am happy to say that I have worked with Crest Reporting and Jill Carrera for many years in many trials. Jill is excellent. She has decades of experience reporting trials, is a consummate professional who knows her craft, and she always seems to be happy and calm in the courtroom. She is hands down the best on the West Coast.  I cannot imagine working with another reporter.”

-Roy Ogden (Attorney at Ogden & Fricks)
