About

There’s a saying that if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. That’s the type of reporters with whom we work at Hart Reporting, people who love what they do. We believe it is a special privilege to engage with our clients and consider it an honor to play an integral role in our legal process and in providing CART captioning services to those with hearing disabilities. We therefore show up to every assignment with a goal to do our best work, to put our skills to effective use, and to provide the highest level of service to our clients.

For more than 20 years, Hart Reporting has operated under the leadership of its founder and president, Karen Hart (but our service to Virginia has spanned more than 30 years). Karen and the firm understand there are non-negotiable expectations of clients: Impeccable transcripts, express turn-around, and talented, professional reporters. Hart has made its reputation by going beyond those expectations. We deliver the highest level service with a degree of care that’s a step above what is necessary. That means meeting client demands when they’re the most urgent. That means never cutting corners. And it means treating every assignment with the care and attention that our clients deserve.

What else differentiates Hart Reporting?

We have world-class capability that we use to cover Virginia, the nation, and the world. Karen Hart has worked high-profile cases in England and Germany. She’s worked at the U.S. Courts of Justice in Washington, DC. She’s worked at the U.S. District Courts in the Eastern and Western Districts of Virginia. Yes, we’ve been all over the nation and the world, but our main practice resides within our home state, the great Commonwealth of Virginia where we have a 30-year track record of service to clients in Richmond, Norfolk, Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Roanoke, and Harrisonburg.

“Karen and her team of court reporters are top-notch professionals. They have covered depositions and court hearings for me across the state, often on short notice. Their work product is accurate and timely. I highly recommend Hart Reporting.”
