Expertise You Can Trust

Cornerstone Legal Solutions was founded on the belief that stenographers serve as the cornerstone of the legal system — quietly supporting justice through accuracy, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the record.  That belief is deeply personal, as Cornerstone's founder, Isaiah Roberts, watched his mother own and operate a small, reporter-owned court reporting business for over 35 years, rooted in trust, accountability, and genuine client relationships. Attorneys weren’t account numbers — they were people she knew, respected, and served with pride.

​​

Over time, as the industry consolidated and national firms absorbed much of the market, efficiency often came at the expense of connection and accuracy.  The businesses grew larger, but the individualized attention and local expertise that built the profession began to fade.  Cornerstone was created to restore that balance — to deliver modern, full-service litigation support without losing the personal touch that made court reporting exceptional in the first place.

​

As a Chicago-based, reporter-owned and managed agency, Cornerstone Legal Solutions provides full-service court reporting for depositions and trials, offering both in-person and remote solutions tailored to today’s legal landscape.  Our team — comprised exclusively of Illinois Certified Shorthand Reporters — upholds the highest standards of accuracy, ethics, and professionalism, while our experienced legal interpreters and professional videographers ensure seamless, end-to-end litigation support.  With the technology, consistency, and reach of a national firm and the care, responsiveness, and accountability of a local agency, Cornerstone delivers reliable service built on relationships and trust.
