Our History

Litigation Support Services has a long and rich history in the Greater Cincinnati Legal Market. LSS opened its doors in 1971, pioneering the use of video for recording legal depositions. At this time, depositions were recorded on black & white reel-to-reel video. In fact, we recorded the first video deposition east of the Mississippi River.

Since then, Litigation Support Services has been a continual leader in the litigation support market, both in Greater Cincinnati and nationwide. LSS has brought many firsts to the local legal market, including:

the first legal animation studio
the first legal video conference facility
the first to offer video-text synchronization
the first digital trial presentation system
the first to record depositions in high-definition
the first to offer high-definition videoconferencing
the first to offer cloud videoconferencing

In fact, when the OJ Simpson trial (one of the highest tech trials ever at the time) was about to begin, Good Morning America came to Cincinnati to interview our principles and report on a high-tech courtroom we had outfitted in Cincinnati a year earlier.

Our Philosophy

Litigation Support Services would not have thrived and grown the way we have had we not adhered to our company philosophy at all costs. What is that philosophy, you ask? We strive to provide the best product and service to our clients to the best of our ability.

We have never attempted to be the cheapest in the market. Companies offering low prices tend to cut corners and turn out a lower quality product.

If you base your choice of litigation support firms on price alone, you probably will pass LSS over at first glance. Don't worry though, many of our longest-running clients did the same thing too.

You see, when it comes to litigation support - court reporting, legal video, etc. - basing your choice on price alone usually ends up costing you more in the end. This happens either by shady pricing or shady service. When you use Litigation Support Services, everything is included in one set price.

When you work with Litigation Support Services, what you see is what you get. You will only get the highest quality work, and you will only be charged what you expect to be charged. When you see our page rate, it is our page rate. We don't charge extra for the little things that other firms do after they get you in the door with a lower page rate.

We invite you to let us compare our rates with those lower-cost competitors or those national network firms that say they will save you money. Nearly every time when you compare the total cost of what you get, Litigation Support Services beats them hands down!
