NAEGELI Deposition and Trial

What NAEGELI Deposition and Trial does

NAEGELI Deposition and Trial is a privately held, founder-owned full-service court reporting and litigation support firm headquartered in Portland, Oregon, founded in 1980 by Marsha J. Naegeli with a $2,000 loan. The company serves law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies across the United States through 12+ physical offices spanning Portland, San Diego, New Orleans, Nashville, Washington D.C., Chicago, Boston, Houston, Atlanta, La Jolla, Hawaii, and Philadelphia. Its core service portfolio centers on court reporting for depositions, arbitrations, hearings, and trials, supplemented by remote/laptop depositions, legal videography synchronized with transcripts, audio/video transcription, certified interpretation in 200+ languages, trial presentation support, document copying/scanning with Bates stamping and OCR, and transcript summaries.

The firm's technology stack is anchored by a litigation-support platform integrating court reporting, video deposition, transcription, and trial presentation services, with cybersecurity infrastructure provided through a 2025 partnership with Rubrik and e-Discovery integration via a partnership with Cicayda. Pricing is quote-based with pay-as-you-go billing across eight professional service streams, and the firm does not publish standard rate cards. Go-to-market combines direct phone-based scheduling through a toll-free number (800-528-3335), a website scheduling portal, dedicated enterprise case managers for complex matters, active participation in bar association and legal industry conferences, and multi-channel content marketing via an educational blog authored by the CEO.

The firm has served distinguished clients including President George W. Bush, Senator Elizabeth Dole, the Washington State Governor's Race, the O.J. Simpson hearings, and the Oregon v. Trump case, and has been recognized on the 2020 Inc. 5000 list, named a Top 25 Women-Owned Business by The Business Journal, and awarded the 2025 NALS Legal Innovation Award. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm operates as a bootstrapped, privately held corporation under founder leadership with no external institutional investors.
