Esquire is a large national company dealing, it seems, only in depositions. Kind of like a…read moreMcDonalds for the legal world, providing mass-produced deposition services with a decentralized business office. There is little to no personal contact with the company and much is bureaucratized into silo type functions. For example, the accounting office is in Texas, and the 'customer resolution' office is in Florida. I'm involved in a legal matter, sat in on a deposition just to watch, and afterward my attorney requested a copy of the deposition transcript. We didn't hire Esquire, the other party did. However, when the transcript comes in, so does the bill. To my utter shock, Esquire tried to charge me $300 for "color exhibits" that we didn't request. This was on top of the charge for just a *copy* of the transcript (a PDF) that cost $500. Mind you, the people who hired Esquire had actually paid for their deposition services, the court reporter, etc. We just wanted a copy. Honestly, I think the copy should be free. The other party already paid for its production. Nontheless, this is how the deposition business works. It's a very lucrative racket, obviously. What I can't abide are the add-ons that Esquire tacked on that we never requested. $300 worth of add ons. To make things worse, those add-ons were my very own documents. All they did is email my own PDF's back to me! These are reports I own and had commissioned myself. They had the audacity to charge me for a PDF of my own document that they round-tripped back to me. Anyway, I don't want anyone else to line Esquire's pockets and be forced to pay for things they never ordered and worse, be pressured to pay for getting a copy of their own documents! If you read this, be sure that you expressly mention at the end of the deposition that you only want a copy of the transcript and NOTHING else. The good thing is the court reporter is documenting the verbal requests for the transcript and when you get the copy of the deposition back, the last page should be a written transcript of your verbal request. Esquire's website says the provide 125,000 depositions a year. Who knows just how many other people have paid for the add-ons they didn't actually request. How many other people have been charged hundreds of dollars for a PDF that was literally round-tripped back to them? At even just 100,000 let's say and just $100, that's an extra $10,000,000 in Esquire's pocket. Read your invoices folks.

When our office called and asked about these charges, we were told we needed to "opt out" of them before the depo. If we don't know about these potential charges ahead of time, how are you supposed to opt out?

The person being served would not answer the door or reply to voicemails. Chris an I spoke after the 4th try with no success. He prepared me for what would happen if the 5th attempt was unsuccessful. He would file a report stating he did his due diligence and I could file paperwork with the court requesting other means of serving. But on the 5th attempt (Which happened to be on my birthday) the document was served. Chris and his team definitely earned their money! Thanks Chris and your team!!!

I emailed the documents I wanted served on a Friday afternoon - it was a long weekend so I didn't hear from them until Tuesday when they called to take my credit card over the phone, they called to take payment, and about 7:45 that night I got a call from the server saying he'd been served. The fun part was he threw in some fun details about him refusing the papers and a bit of paper throwing that went on. So not just "he's been served". Would use them again though hopefully won't have to!
