Reliable Court Reporting
Strong case preparation begins with accurate court reporting. Our reporters in Iowa and across the country deliver clear records that stand up to scrutiny and remain consistent across jurisdictions. Because scheduling is centralized and supported by a nationwide network, you can expect dependable availability even when your case moves outside the state.
Real-time reporting is also available for cases that require immediate analysis. This technology streams testimony directly to your device, allowing you to mark key statements, identify inconsistencies, and collaborate with your team instantly. When you need rough drafts shortly after a deposition, we can provide them, giving you an early opportunity to evaluate the direction of the testimony and prepare for upcoming sessions.
Creating Accurate Transcripts
The record must be correct the first time, and our team treats that responsibility with seriousness. Each legal transcription goes through our proven production system, which supports accuracy and protects confidentiality. We have the experience needed to handle complex testimony, multi-party proceedings, difficult audio, and technical subject matter. Attorneys know they can trust our transcripts to reflect the full scope of every deposition, hearing, or recorded statement.
Quick Access to Rough Drafts
Preparation cannot wait for the final version of a transcript, which is why we provide timely access to rough drafts when requested. These preliminary transcripts give attorneys the ability to start reviewing testimony immediately, outline follow-up questions, and revisit key areas of interest without delay. For attorneys managing fast-paced litigation or preparing for upcoming hearings, this early access is an important part of staying ahead.
Real-Time Reporting for Immediate Insight
Real-time reporting gives attorneys the advantage of watching the record appear on their screens as testimony is spoken. This tool allows teams to flag statements, share live notes, and examine inconsistencies while the deposition is still in progress. In cases involving complex subjects or large volumes of information, real-time access can make a meaningful difference in how attorneys prepare their next steps.
Scheduling Made Simple
Scheduling should never slow down a case. We offer a streamlined online booking system so attorneys can reserve court reporting, legal videography, remote deposition support, or conference rooms at any time. This flexibility helps legal teams avoid delays and plan their workload around hearings, discovery deadlines, and trial preparation. With everything managed through one secure system, scheduling becomes smoother and less time-consuming.

Trial Support Services
For many attorneys, trials involve much more than presenting documents, questioning witnesses, and organizing evidence. A compelling trial presentation depends on creating a clear narrative that judges and juries can follow.
At NAEGELI Deposition & Trial, we help legal professionals throughout Iowa and nationwide bring structure, clarity, and visual meaning to even the most complex litigation. Our team manages the technology, graphics, and courtroom logistics that shape how each argument is understood, allowing you to focus fully on strategy and advocacy.
We understand that every case has its own story. Our trial support professionals work closely with legal teams to identify the central themes of each matter and then translate those ideas into visual tools that strengthen your presentation. From multimedia timelines to evidence boards and digital exhibits, every element is prepared with care to support your goals at trial.
Visual Presentations That Strengthen Arguments
Jurors are asked to absorb a tremendous volume of information during trial. It can be difficult for them to keep track of the finer points of testimony, especially when cases involve technical terms or complex concepts. This is where effective visuals can make a meaningful difference.
We develop presentations that help jurors clearly understand your evidence. Technical materials are converted into simplified visuals, demonstrative aids, and structured graphics that guide jurors through the information step by step. Even the most complicated data becomes more understandable when it is presented in a visual format that highlights relationships, timelines, comparisons, or sequences.
In many trials, the combination of exhibits, video deposition clips, transcript selections, and demonstrative graphics creates a cohesive narrative that holds jurors’ attention. Visuals do more than support your words; they help your key points stay in jurors’ minds throughout the trial.
Graphics and Animations
Some matters require more than simple slides. NAEGELI Deposition & Trial provides a full range of graphics and animation services for Iowa cases, including timelines, trial boards, medical illustrations, digital reconstructions, and 3D animations. These tools help attorneys explain complicated events, scientific processes, or technical mechanisms in a clear and relatable manner.
Professional design is a core part of our work. Every graphic is created with the polish and structure expected in a courtroom environment. When evidence looks organized, jurors are more likely to view the underlying arguments as clear and credible. This attention to detail supports attorneys handling cases that involve intricate medical issues, engineering disputes, product failures, and other technical matters.
Mock Jury Trials and Focus Groups for Pre-Trial Insight
Preparation is one of the most valuable resources an attorney can have. Our mock jury and focus group services give Iowa legal teams an opportunity to understand how potential jurors may react to key arguments long before the case reaches trial.
These simulations provide an early test of case themes, witness performance, and overall presentation strategy. Participants offer feedback, discuss evidence, and share their reasoning behind potential verdicts. This gives attorneys insight into which arguments resonate, which points may require clarification, and which elements of the case might benefit from stronger visual support.
The feedback gained from these sessions often influences trial strategy in meaningful ways. By identifying areas of uncertainty early, attorneys can fine-tune their message before stepping into the courtroom.
Courtroom Equipment and Technical Support
Reliable courtroom technology is essential for a persuasive presentation. When attorneys partner with NAEGELI Deposition & Trial, they receive support that covers every detail. We provide monitors, document cameras, audio and video equipment, laptops, tablets, and other courtroom-ready tools that ensure your evidence is displayed clearly.
Before trial begins, our team studies the courtroom layout and prepares a setup that allows every juror and the judge to see the materials without obstruction. Positioning, lighting, connectivity, and sight lines are all reviewed in advance. During trial, our technicians remain on site to operate equipment and address any issues immediately. This prevents interruptions and ensures that your presentation proceeds without unnecessary stress.
Additional Client Services
Legal Transcription Services for Accurate and Secure Records
Every spoken word in a deposition, hearing, or recorded statement has significance. NAEGELI Deposition & Trial handles legal transcription with a focus on accuracy and thoroughness. Our centralized production model allows for consistent quality, and we work with audio and video from a wide range of formats, even when the recordings contain background noise or overlapping dialogue.
Transcripts can also be paired with the original audio through optional syncing, allowing attorneys to review tone, pacing, and emphasis while reading the written record. Security is always a priority. All materials are handled through secure channels and stored in protected repositories to safeguard sensitive information.
Remote Depositions for Flexible Scheduling Across Iowa
Many cases require testimony from individuals who cannot appear in person. Our remote deposition services allow attorneys to conduct proceedings from any location without sacrificing clarity, privacy, or professionalism. Sessions are hosted on secure virtual platforms, and our trained technicians manage the technology throughout the proceeding.
Remote depositions reduce travel expenses, make scheduling easier for witnesses and experts, and enable lawyers to gather testimony efficiently. This is especially useful for cases involving medical professionals, experts from other states, or parties with limited availability.
Legal Videography That Enhances Testimony and Evidence
Video testimony provides context that written transcripts alone cannot capture. Our legal videography team records depositions in high-definition formats that meet courtroom requirements. Videos can be synced with transcripts for fast review and can also be edited into shorter clips that highlight essential exchanges.
These visual records become powerful tools during settlement negotiations and at trial. Body language, pauses, tone, and facial expressions all carry meaning that may support or challenge the credibility of a witness.
Copying, Scanning, and Large-Volume Document Management
Cases frequently involve large collections of documents that require careful organization. NAEGELI Deposition & Trial assists attorneys in Iowa and across the nation with document management services like scanning, copying, Bates stamping, OCR processing, exhibit organization, secure pickup, and confidential document destruction. Whether your matter involves a few hundred pages or an extensive discovery production, our copying and scanning team manages the documents with care.
Interpreters and Translators for Clear Communication
Legal matters involving multilingual participants require precise language support. We provide interpreters for more than 200 languages, including rare languages, for depositions, hearings, and trials. Our translators handle written materials such as contracts, letters, and exhibits with accuracy that preserves the full meaning of the original text.
Our Commitment to Quality
When legal professionals in Iowa and nationwide turn to NAEGELI Deposition & Trial, they gain a partner that understands the demands of litigation and the importance of preparation at every stage. From trial visuals to transcription, from document management to interpretation, we provide the structure and support needed to move cases forward with confidence.
