Countdown to the NCRA Convention & Expo

 

Optima Juris is proud to be an NCRA member and the only 100% American international deposition agency*
As a California registered company, run from Los Angeles, we pride ourselves on providing American high standards of service, all over the world. Your requests are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Beware of doing business with foreign-based agencies which could be difficult to work with due to time differences, non-English speaking providers, and lack of understanding of the American legal system. Don’t be fooled by foreign companies with field offices in the States.
At Optima Juris, our mission is simple: provide our clients with access to the highest quality international deposition services through a seamless and hassle-free process. Our Global Deposition Experts will work endlessly to address all of your questions and concerns. No matter where your international deposition will be, we’re there to give you the best expert guidance on how to save money and ensure success. And you will feel confident working with an accountable, 100% American firm.

Optima Juris is busy getting ready for our big trip next week up to San Francisco to the NCRA Convention and Expo. As the only international deposition agency* based in the U.S., we love having the opportunity to meet fellow industry professionals, share stories, gain insight and just having a good laugh.
Even if you can’t make this fantastic event, you don’t have to miss a second of the action. Optima Juris will be bringing you live coverage on all of our social media networks. Find out what everyone is talking about by subscribing to the channels below:
