COVID-19 and Status of Federal & State Courts
Like so many, the Evans Reporting team continues to monitor the evolving guidelines outlined by the CDC amid the increasing impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak. While the health and safety of our clients, employees and colleagues remains our top priority, we’re also working diligently to ensure depositions move forward at this unprecedented time. Considering the realities of reduced travel for depositions or mediations, we encourage you to consider our remote services for conducting depositions.
