My Environment & Equipment
I live in a very quiet environment with few
disruptions so that I can give your assignment my utmost attention.
Utilizing E-Transcript
I enlarge the font to 16 point before printing deposition transcripts because this helps with accuracy.
Laser printer is an HP 2200D and I keep it in great shape. My Gateway computer is powerful
and reliable.
