Jan Brown is my top pick for a court reporting service. They are super easy to work with and have gotten me out of many last-minute binds at all hours! The price is reasonable and May and the girls are super friendly, and accommodating. The reporters submit good quality work and are reliable. All around my favorite pick!
Kazzi Figueroa-LeeLegal Secretary
Jan Brown & Associates is my go-to for any matter of ours that requires a court reporter. They are incredibly quick to respond when I request coverage from them, be it for a hearing, deposition, or anything else. They have a fast turnaround time for transcripts and rarely require corrections. JBA is very well-versed in the particulars of any court department with which they work. JBA has come in clutch when I have had last-minute emergencies and has never let me down. To top it off, their staff are very personable, friendly, and handle stress with grace. They truly go above and beyond whenever I need them. I can’t say enough good things about Jan Brown, and they will always be a part of our team.
Devon J. BollaParalegal
We have been using Jan Brown as our go to court reporting agency for almost a decade.  They are well liked by both Plaintiffs and Defendants, and their ability to provide comprehensive turnkey services for hearings, depositions and trials is unparalleled.  I prefer them over Veritext because JBA's pricing and promises on service are consistent with no surprises.  They also have adapted to rapidly advancing legal technology and appear to be constantly updating their offerings as rapid technological advances change legal practice."
Sanjiv N. Singh, JJD, MD
Jan Brown Associates has been my goto court reporting team in the SF Bay Area for almost 20 years, and at this point I’m pretty sure they know my methods, preferences, and even my coffee habits better than I do. Their transcripts are always accurate, their professionalism unwavering, and they’ve saved me more than once by being available on emergency notice and flexible with lastminute reschedules. But the best testament to how good they really are came when I discovered, by pure coincidence, that their Philadelphia office was also my parents’ goto reporting team. Some families pass down recipes or heirlooms; apparently, we pass down court reporters. And I fully expect to pass Jan Brown on to my own kids someday. 10/10.

Throughout my years of working as a legal assistant/paralegal, no one has been more helpful than the ladies at Jan Brown. They are constantly available for my every need. A story I will never forget is one time we had forgotten to set up a deposition. We didn’t realize until Easter Sunday and the deposition was to be Monday morning. We called Jan Brown Easter morning and none other than Jan herself picked up the phone. She worked on Easter morning to get our depo set up the next day. This was completely our mistake but Jan Brown came through for us and the depo went forward. This is just one of many examples of the hard work and dedication for these ladies. They are truly the nicest and most helpful group of people I have ever worked with.
Jessica RoederLegal Assistant/Paralegal
I’ve worked with Jan Brown Associates for many years, and they consistently provide excellent service.  They’re responsive, professional, and friendly, and once they’ve confirmed a reservation, I know I can count on the court reporter, videographer, and/or interpreter to show up on time and get the job done.  I highly recommend them!
Charisse GoodmanAttorney Practice Coordinator
Our go-to court reporters have been Jan Brown & Associates for more than 20 years.  JBA has remained reliable and affordable over that entire period of time.  As they stayed current with advances in technology and remote depositions, we also find their website easy to use and informative.  We will continue to use their services and their website into the future. Thank you, all of you, at JBA!

Lori HavenerParalegal/Legal Assistant
I have been a California Certified Shorthand Reporter for nearly 40 years and have had the distinct pleasure of working with Jan Brown and Associates now for nearly seven years. I have performed independent contractor work for many court reporting agencies throughout the years. May, who handles calendaring, has made Jan Brown and Associates one of my absolute favorite premier agencies to work with because of the sincere care I see demonstrated daily that clients' jobs are covered and that they are well taken care of, along with their ensuring that reporters feel valued.  I know I don't have another 40 years to give to the profession. If I did, as Jan Brown and Associates keeps their finger on the pulse of technology and the legal profession, I would not hesitate to continue working with them.
Sonia Rogers,CSR 8153
