The Fotomat of Video Depositions
Because lawyers like you find trials exciting, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that trials bore many jurors. They're just not that into you. They'd rather be home in front of their 52 inch TV. While you can't give them Sports Center, you can at least give them video deposition testimony, especially since it's no longer an expensive proposition.
Evandry … in One Sentence
Evandry is an online legal video deposition editing and syncing service.
The Killer Feature
Even when a lawsuit takes years to resolve, litigators always find themselves needing something yesterday — especially litigation support services such as video deposition editing and syncing. Many litigation support vendors probably depend on rush fees to meet their sales targets.
Knowing this, the founders of Evandry built the company around fast turnaround. It offers same day service on every order and does not charge rush fees. Two-day FedEx shipping is included in the price, whereas overnight shipping adds just $15 to your order.
Other Notable Features
Editing entails removing portions of the video deposition (such as objections) so that you can present only the testimony you want the jury to see and hear. Using the text transcript, you simply highlight the portions you wish to keep or remove (whichever is easier).
Syncing involves marrying the video to the text transcript using the industry-standard YesLaw technology. Synced depositions enable you to search for and show key testimony on the fly. You can also export segments to use in trial presentation software such as Sanction and TrialDirector.
You initiate your order by using a form on Evandry's Web site. Within an hour, you'll receive a no-obligation quote for your project via email. If you wish to move forward, you print the quote and mail it along with the deposition video and transcript to Evandry.
Evandry keeps its overhead low thanks to its location in central Florida. But it doesn't skimp on materials. For example, it uses WaterShield DVDs, and high-quality photo paper for labeling. Evandry operates 24 hours/day every day of the year.
What Else Should You Know?
Evandry charges $100 per hour of deposition video in 15 minute increments. For example, a 60 minute and a 74 minute video would each cost $100, while a 78 minute video would cost $125. Unlike some services, you do not pay for the time spent providing the service, just the length of the video. Learn more about Evandry.
