Florham Park, N.J. – May 28, 2008 – Esquire Deposition Services, the leading provider of court reporting and legal support services in the U.S., today announced that it has begun providing the next generation synchronized deposition viewer to its customers, available through its agreement with YesLaw, a division of YesVideo Inc. The new viewer offers attorneys and litigation support personnel greater control than ever over the review and presentation of synchronized video. The new viewer is complimentary to all Esquire Deposition Services clients when they purchase synchronized video services from Esquire.

The new viewer enables attorneys to search and review synchronized video depositions, identify key testimony with color highlighting and annotations, and create and export video clips for presentation.

“Esquire is dedicated to providing tools that are both powerful and easy to use,” said Tony Vaglica, chief executive officer of The Hobart West Group, parent company of Esquire Deposition Services. “By combining our efforts with YesLaw, the leader in legal video technology, Esquire is able to provide its clients with video review and collaborative capabilities that will help them to do more with their deposition videos,” he added.  

Esquire’s newest deposition viewer is now available on DVD. This product allows Esquire to deliver the deposition to their clients at uncompromised quality and with the versatility of being viewable on both a TV and PC. On a TV, the transcript text is shown as subtitles and the DVD is chaptered by page number enabling attorneys to find video fast. On a PC, the software enables attorneys to easily review and export or edit video clips for use within trial preparation and presentation software such as Sanction®, CT Summation, LiveNote® and PowerPoint.

YesVideo, the developer and licensor of the industry-leading YesLaw CD deposition video product, introduced YesLaw DVD at LegalTech New York in January 2007.
