Vision Reporting Services is an independent court reporting firm owned and operated since 2017 by Lori Stocco, Realtime Court Reporter, Official Reporter, and Authorized Reporter.
Why choose Vision Reporting?
We are Canadian-owned and our reporters are all located in British Columbia. We take pride in providing top-quality transcripts and a comfortable space for counsel and their clients to attend for proceedings held in Nanaimo.
Vision Reporting Services has reporters located across Vancouver Island, and our central Island location makes it easy for us to attend where you need us outside of Nanaimo. We are able to attend in Victoria, Port Alberni and Tofino, Courtenay and Campbell River, and up to Port Hardy or the Gulf Islands should the need arise.
We continue to offer video-conferencing at a reasonable service fee for situations where some or all parties would prefer to attend remotely. Video-conferencing and room rentals (for Discoveries held at our Nanaimo offices) are complimentary with transcript order.
Depending on our client's requirements, Vision Court Reporters will attend anywhere on Vancouver Island or beyond upon request.
Our office space is fully wheelchair accessible. We have comfortable boardrooms available to accommodate large and small groups with a breakout space available upon request. If you would prefer to have a certified Vision Court Reporter attend at your boardroom or another location, we are happy to come to you as well.
