We are excited to announce Harvard Bell is now part of Veritext.
Harvard Bell has had the privilege of serving its clients with excellence for over 15 amazing years. Their commitment to innovation, uncompromising client service, and teamwork has always remained their focus, which is why partnering with Veritext was such an easy decision.
Under the Veritext umbrella, Harvard Bell will continue to bring unsurpassed expertise in remote proceedings and new technologies (including paperless exhibit sharing, instant scheduling features, and a robust online repository), as well as unmatched-in-the-industry HIPAA, PII, PIPEDA, PIPA, and CSAE 3416-compliant data security coverage. Veritext’s scale also means clients will have access to our locations throughout North America, which are equipped with state-of-the-art Examination suites.
Harvard Bell was founded by Craig Mitchell and Stefania Crisci, with a name inspired by the historic district in Seattle’s Capitol Hill where the idea for the firm was born. Entering the court reporting and legal video field through an unconventional path, Harvard Bell deliberately avoided preconceived notions, instead choosing to approach the industry with fresh eyes and a strong commitment to best practices.
From the outset, Harvard Bell embraced cutting-edge legal videography techniques and focused on learning from the best—attracting and collaborating with the top court reporters in the Pacific Northwest and nationally, pursuing rigorous training and certifications, and actively engaging in professional organizations.
A recognized innovator, Harvard Bell was among the first in the nation to standardize high-definition video, adopt picture-in-picture formats, and offer transcript-synchronized video—all powered by a fully digital workflow and state-of-the-art automation. Anticipating the shift to remote depositions, the firm began promoting virtual options in the mid-2010s, positioning itself to lead when the pandemic accelerated remote legal practices worldwide.
Today, Harvard Bell continues to earn the trust of many of the region’s most respected law firms by staying attuned to the evolving needs of legal professionals.
Our shared commitment to quality reporting and uncompromising service makes Harvard Bell a perfect fit with Veritext, and we are thrilled to welcome the team to the Veritext family!
