Criminal Law Litigation Support

Court Reporting Firms Provide the Ultimate In Criminal Law Litigation Support

Dating back to 1754 BC and the code of Hammurabi, the practice of establishing a written code of conduct to ensure that individuals will receive adequate punishment for their transgressions has been a long-standing one in organized society. In today’s United States, there are two sets of regulatory criminal laws that must be considered when prosecuting someone for their crimes; the criminal code for each state as well as our federal criminal law, found in Title 18 of the US Code. Even though both types of criminal codes are heavily based on the Model Penal Code (MPC), Congress has limited power to establish criminal laws, meaning that most state penal codes are far more intricate than the federal US Code.

To overcome the odds and have them play in your and your client’s favor is to ensure that your team has access to the best litigation support services available. Independent court reporting firms like the ones featured amongst the NNRC collective have made quality litigation support with state of the art technology handled by an experienced, helpful staff their number one priority in addition to excellent real-time reporting services. For any successful criminal law attorneys who wish to help establish their client’s innocence, expert litigation support can ensure a positive outcome and a winning case.
