Vernon Court Reporters is an approved transcriptionist for Lewis County Superior Court in Chehalis, Washington. We are authorized to prepare verbatim transcripts of court proceedings under GR 35 and RAP 9.2, the Washington State rules that govern transcripts used for appeals.
Lewis County is one of western Washington’s larger rural counties, serving communities including Chehalis, Centralia, Morton, and Winlock through three Superior Court judges. The court handles a broad caseload — felony criminal proceedings, family law matters, civil litigation, probate, and juvenile cases — and that volume means transcripts are regularly needed for appeals and post-conviction review.
