In 1998, three of the most highly credentialed and experienced court-reporting firms in Minnesota joined forces to form Paradigm Reporting & Captioning. The principals of all three firms were experienced court reporters who upheld the highest business and career standards of the industry. They agreed then and still believe today that ethics and professionalism support their court reporting role as impartial "officers of the court" and highly skilled captioners who open windows of communication for a variety of audiences.

"In a lengthy Microsoft trial in 2004, the parties had special needs and wanted transcripts twice a day...immediately. No court reporter in the Hennepin County Court system had this capability. Paradigm was able to meet the needs and demands of the trial teams for both sides. They were extremely responsive and professional no matter what time of day or night. Their accuracy and timeliness are unmatched."
