"Akamai Legal Video was absolutely terrific. From the very beginning with flexibility of scheduling, efficiency in attendance and the very timely presentation and download of the final product. Just super!"
"Highly recommend! Great communication and very efficient. Andrew went above and beyond to complete our job. Trust your time sensitive matters with Akamai!"
Every deposition, recorded the same way.
Andrew Graves recorded about 2,000 depositions in the Bay Area and Sacramento before moving to Hawaiʻi. The standard didn't change: an hour early, masters imaged and hashed the same day.
In-person depositions
One camera on the witness, two independent recorders, matched timecode. A clean audio mix feeding the record, with the room miked for intelligibility rather than atmosphere. Setup is done and tested before the first person walks in. Master cards are forensically imaged (E01) and every file is SHA-256 hashed.
Remote and hybrid depositions
Full-resolution recording on our end rather than a compressed cloud capture, so exhibit text is readable and the witness is legible. Hybrid rooms get a Jabra Speak 2 75 conference unit so remote participants stay intelligible without the tabletop echo that turns a certified transcript into guesswork.
Keep the agency you already use.
Many Hawaiʻi firms let their agency choose the videographer. Ask yours for Akamai, or book us directly.
We arrive early and set up before the room fills. The reporter gets a clean direct feed if they want one, arranged quietly and without a production conversation in front of the witness.
At the end of the day we hand over a high-fidelity backup audio file. Nobody plans to need it. It exists so a cough over a case number doesn't become a guess in the certified transcript.

After the deposition
We're a vendor, not a platform. Your files stay on hardware we own in Hawaiʻi: never sent to an outside AI provider, never used to train anything, deleted on your schedule or after seven years. Built for firms whose AI policy bars outside AI services.
Page-line deposition summaries
A topical summary of the testimony, every point cited to page and line so you can check our work. $1 a page, 150-page minimum, back in two business days.
Transcript sync
Forced alignment done here, not through a public API. We process the audio while the transcript is being certified, so a full day syncs in about 45 minutes once the ASCII arrives, with load files for TrialDirector, Sanction, and the rest.
Deposition clips and trial video
Clips cut to your page and line designations, precise redactions, and audio muting. We prepare the material; you run the room.
Witness contradiction matrix
Every statement in the files you send, lined up against the others: depositions, prior testimony, declarations. Where they diverge you get both passages side by side with citations, so you can decide whether it's a real inconsistency or a bad question.
Case chronology
A timeline of the case built from the whole file, every entry cited to its source page so you can check it.
Interpreter audit
We compare the interpreter's English against the original-language audio and flag passages that may have been omitted or changed, for a qualified interpreter to confirm.

Proof the file hasn't changed.
Every recording is imaged to a forensic E01 the same day, hashed with SHA-256 and timestamped, so any later change to the file is detectable.
