Who We Help in King County
We work with criminal defense attorneys who need appeal records, family law attorneys seeking review of custody or parenting plan orders, civil litigants appealing trial court decisions, and people representing themselves who need a certified transcript. We also handle Commissioner hearing transcripts, which make up a large share of King County’s daily family law, probate, and civil docket.
Why Choose Vernon Court Reporters
We have been serving Washington courts for over 40 years. Our transcripts meet the GR 35 standard required for appellate filings. Every transcript is verbatim and certified for official use.
Vernon is approved in courts across western Washington, including Pierce County, Snohomish County, and Whatcom County. If your case involves multiple counties, there is a good chance we are already approved there as well.
GR 35 is Washington State General Rule 35, which requires every Superior Court to maintain a list of approved transcriptionists. Only transcriptionists on that list — like Vernon Court Reporters — can prepare official certified transcripts of electronically recorded court proceedings for use on appeal.
King County uploads audio recordings to ShareFile, a secure file transfer platform, and provides the requesting party with a download link. You share that link with us and we retrieve the file — no CD required.
Most transcripts are returned within 3 to 5 business days. Rush and same-day options are available depending on recording length.
Yes. We regularly work with self-represented litigants. The process is the same regardless of whether you have an attorney.
