Paone & Associates

Highly Engaged Employees

Paone & Associates was the first court reporting agency in NJ to furnish its clients a transcript repository and searchable witness databank, long before other agencies bought turnkey systems developed by outside companies. Among its many search capabilities, our system allows us to pull up the name of a witness to see if we have ever taken their d... eposition before. A service that proved invaluable to one client. Recently, one of our clients took the deposition of a plaintiff where she testified that she'd never been in an accident before the subject lawsuit, nor had she ever been injured or made any prior claims. The attorney felt the witness was being less than forthright but had no hard evidence to prove it. On a hunch, he asked our reporter during a break to show him how our website worked. She showed him how to run a search of the plaintiff's name in our repository. Within less than a minute, he was able to find an electronic version of a deposition of the same plaintiff from a decade before. Same injuries, same claims. Our client was able to utilize the older transcript to impeach her testimony and end the case. That's what we do.Read More
