Since 1992, MOA has earned the respect and confidence of countless law firms along the capitol corridor. MOA is known for its reliability, technology, comfortable offices and personal touches. Whether it is providing daily lunches for our in-house deposition/meeting attendees or secure wireless broadband Internet access, or providing the highest-quality, most competitively priced, in-house document depository and e-repository; you will see the MOA difference.

MOA is a deposition and court reporting firm with a broad foundation in professionalism, product quality and customer service.

MOA is the convergence of technology, hard work and attention to detail. Like a fine wine, we have gotten better with age. Our processes are streamlined, conference rooms are spacious and outfitted with convenient power/ethernet connections.

Our clients know they can come to us with suggestions, problems or praise. We make you look good in front of your clients.

MOA is a deposition firm that serves the California legal community in multiple counties, primarily Sacramento, Sutter, Yuba, Butte, but also many adjoining counties.

MOA is privileged to work with some of the finest reporters California has to offer. A business cannot succeed without a standard of excellence. And excellence is what you find when working with MOA, its certified shorthand reporters and staff.

We believe you will see that MOA's services are so far ahead of other firms that you will consider us for your most important cases. Many firms' "conveniences" end after the deposition is over. That's when MOA is just getting started. We get your transcripts and exhibits uploaded to our web-based repository where you can download and review them instantly. You can also see your case schedule, invoices and even schedule new depositions all from our website.

Many of the best firms in the state have discovered that paper documents are costing them an unnecessary fortune, both financially and in terms of time spent storing, retrieving and then re-filing documents. Digital documents are superior to paper documents, in part because they can be accessed, stored and secured more efficiently. The financial benefits are simply the most tangible. Whether behind your desk, or away from your office, having all of your resources available to you will help you make more informed decisions and become more effective in your profession. Whether your firm is already paperless, or simply moving in that direction, MOA is ready to meet your needs.

All of our reporters have been writing real-time on a daily basis and for their own benefit for more than a decade. Simply bring your notebook computer to the deposition, and via your real-time software, whether it be LiveNote, Summation Caseview or Binder, avail yourself of the ultimate in Litigation Support. Mark important text and organize it as the deposition proceeds. And at the end of the day... or even during the day... review today's testimony in the rough before tomorrow's deposition. If you don't have the Real-Time Software, MOA can hook you up with the right resources.

We find that attorneys are constantly impressed with our facilities, environment, and dedication to our clients. We are the best reporters in town. Our commitment to our clients has always been our trademark.

Once you have gone MOA, you won't go back!

Lisa Ollar, the owner of MOA, started her reporting career in 1977 working for Hollan Jones, Inc. in Marysville, California, working mostly in criminal court in both Yuba and Sutter Counties.

MOA isn’t everywhere and doesn’t pretend to be, but where we have offices you can be assured that you will receive quality, personal service, you’ll work with friendly, competent staff, and professional and highly-qualified reporters.

The success that MOA has enjoyed through the years is as a result of hard work and perseverance, while exercising foresight and diligence.
