About Suzanne Lee, CCR
For me, working in the legal community has always proven to be an adventure. Every day is different, and I have had the opportunity to meet some incredible and unique people over the years. As the owner of Miss Court Reporter, creating the most complete and accurate record for my client’s case is my highest priority for every assignment.
Since beginning my court reporting practice in 1999, I have been very fortunate in obtaining extensive experience in taking depositions and court proceedings, as well as hearings and meetings for governmental agencies.

WHY I DO WHAT I DO
Every time I complete a certification page for a transcript I have prepared, I am literally swearing that I have done all that is humanly possible to create a verbatim record of the proceeding I was hired to transcribe. I don’t take that oath lightly. My transcripts are prepared by me personally in order to provide my clients with the crucial accuracy and integrity their records require.
LET MISS COURT REPORTER EASE YOUR MIND
Since I began my practice over 22 years ago, one thing my clients have come to learn about me is that I don’t miss assignments. Whether it’s a weekend, holiday, after-hours, or anything in between, the fear that the court reporter may not show up is something that is totally foreign to the clients of Miss Court Reporter. Even when my clients have given me the wrong directions, they’ve found out I’ll get there one way or another!
If I can ever assist you with an assignment or if you have any questions, please feel free to email me at MissCourtReporter@gmail.com, leave a message below, or give me a call/text at 256.347.3493 anytime.
I look forward to hearing from you!
