What Kaplan Leaman & Wolfe Court does

Kaplan, Leaman & Wolfe (KLW) is a privately held national court reporting and litigation support firm headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, operating since approximately 1984. The firm delivers stenographic court reporting, legal videography, and a broad set of litigation support services to law firms, insurance companies, corporations, and government entities across the United States, with disclosed physical offices in Philadelphia and Harrisburg PA, Marlton NJ, New York City, and six Florida locations (West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Jupiter, Miami, and Punta Gorda) and stated nationwide coverage in all 50 states via its field reporter network. Named enterprise users include White & Case, Fox Rothschild, Fisher & Phillips, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, with multi-month and high-profile federal trial work cited as recurring case studies.

KLW's service portfolio is built on a proprietary technology stack centered on the LiveLitigation platform, a 100% browser-based virtual litigation environment supporting one-way and two-way video streams, document sharing, group and private chat, and electronic paperless exhibits without client-side software downloads; the EZ-Litigation mobile app on iOS and Android, which consolidates deposition scheduling, transcript download, invoice payment, and GPS-enabled navigation; and an Internet Transcript Repository providing password-protected, worldwide access to transcripts and exhibits at the case, firm, or individual lawyer level. Supporting platforms include E-Transcripts (encrypted, searchable files with interactive word indices), Realtime Transcription Service, Video-to-Text Synchronization linking transcripts to video clips by page/line or keyword, Interactive Video Depositions with picture-in-picture touchscreen annotation, and Internet Streaming of transcripts to unlimited viewers with optional password protection. Through a strategic partnership with Precise Inc. (over 15 years of mutual cooperation), KLW extends the offering into trial consulting, jury research via the Predict™ statistical tool, courtroom presentations, mock trial recording, trial graphics and animation, document scanning, OCR, and electronic discovery.

The revenue model is primarily transactional: per-page transcription rates and per-appearance fees for core court reporting, professional services fees for videography, deposition summaries, and litigation support work, and a subscription/recurring component for internet streaming. Commercial motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, combining direct enterprise field sales, inside sales via 1-877-KLW-DEPO, online self-serve scheduling through the website, 24/7 availability, and complimentary conference rooms nationwide as a retention and acquisition lever. KLW is 100% HIPAA-compliant for remote depositions and is privately held by CEO and Owner Gregg Wolfe, supported by an executive team of five named leaders (CEO, VP Business Development, Office Manager, Accounts Manager, Production Manager) with tenures of 11-16 years indicating strong organizational continuity.
