Access Transcripts prepares certified transcripts of Illinois court proceedings: state trial courts, the Northern, Central, Southern Districts, bankruptcy hearings, and 341 meetings. We request the audio, you receive a certified searchable PDF on the turnaround you choose, same day to 30 days.
Every appeal, post-conviction petition, and contested motion in Illinois eventually needs the same thing: a certified transcript of what was actually said. We produce those transcripts. Since 2013, Access Transcripts has prepared certified, verbatim records for courts around the country, and we serve Illinois clients in Chicago, Springfield, Peoria and across the state.
Illinois's federal courts, organized as the Northern, Central, Southern Districts of Illinois, record their proceedings digitally, and the bankruptcy courts release audio to approved transcribers on request. We hold that approved status in more than 30 bankruptcy courts nationwide, so the federal ordering process is home ground for us.
