Full-time or part-time court reporters needed for a freelance agency in Charleston, South Carolina.  99 percent deposition work.  Wonderful, long-time clients.  Variety of cases.  We do both in-person and Zoom depositions.  This state allows backup audio recording for scoping purposes.  70/30 split.

You will need to fill out a form and pay $25 to the state to obtain your South Carolina notary.  It generally takes about 15-30 days to receive it.

Unfortunately, there is no state certification, so most of us have obtained our certification through NCRA.  The hope is that you will work towards becoming an RPR in time.

My business partner, Mary Ann, and I have mentored a lot of new reporters over the years and we've enjoyed doing it.  We'll answer all of your questions and help guide you through these first steps of your career.  Mary Ann graduated from Cittone Institute in New Jersey  and I graduated from SUNY Alfred in New York.
