Tom Richardson contacted me to help cover depositions in the Fort Wayne area before they opened their Fort Wayne office. When the local office opened, I decided to work full-time solely for Stewart Richardson because I felt privileged to be a part of their team in providing the best court reporting services in Indiana.
