We have managed thousands of depositions and documents in ongoing cases up to and including the trial.
Since 1979 Barbara Como has reported thousands of depositions, spanning from short one-hour depositions to 35 days for one witness. These depositions run the gamut of personal injury and family law to extremely large complex business litigation with a special emphasis on expert testimony in medical malpractice, the sciences, accounting malpractice, to name a few. She has vast experience working in various courts throughout California — State courts, Federal courts and Bankruptcy courts. She has extensive experience working for the State in administrative proceedings of all kinds, including many State agencies and school districts throughout Northern California.
With her past experience as a reporter in court she is well-equipped to report and manage arbitrations. Some of those arbitrations have lasted for many months. One particular arbitration took four days a week for ten months, and required the management of 1.5 million documents. The arbitrator oftentimes referred to her as his clerk.
Barbara is the consummate professional. She performs above and beyond all aspects of court reporting with accurate transcripts, timely turn-in, punctual and always cheerful. I would highly recommend Barbara for all your reporting needs.

Barbara is more than a technically proficient court reporter. She also provides extraordinary service, always willing to accommodate an attorney’s schedule to meet a last-minute court-filing deadline. Her best attributes, however, are her professional demeanor and charming personality She has unique personal skills that can calm the most feisty attorneys and witnesses and can prevent an intense and challenging deposition from becoming unmanageable. On numerous occasions my witnesses and clients have commented how much they like and enjoy Barbara. I recommend Barbara to any attorney who wants the best.
It is an absolute pleasure working with Barbara Como. She is one of the most qualified and experienced court reporters with whom I have worked in 25 years of practice, preparing transcripts at many of my trials, arbitrations and depositions over that time. Her transcripts are accurate and timely delivered, and that is as much as any attorney can ask.
