Going strong for six decades, Hanson Renaissance Court Reporting has set the standard for quality and excellence in Michigan court reporting. Founded in 1963, the family-owned and run firm has stayed true to its roots, even as it has expanded. The Detroit-based company, established by veteran Gerald Hanson upon his retirement from military service, has exemplified core values of honesty, integrity and discipline since its founding. Although best known for court reporting in Detroit, the firm’s reporters work with lawyers in cities across Michigan, including Saginaw, Traverse City, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Dearborn and Grand Rapids, providing legal professionals statewide the same level of professionalism and precision to which the firm’s Detroit clients have grown accustomed.

The firm opened a second office in Ann Arbor, Michigan’s fifth-largest city and home of the University of Michigan, to better serve the legal community of this bustling city. Hanson’s court reporters in Ann Arbor work with attorneys and lawyers in the city as well as other locations such as Lansing and Grand Rapids. With more than one thousand attorneys competing to represent Ann Arborites, many lawyers in the city now use the services of top court reporting firms like Hanson to give themselves a competitive advantage. Hanson’s court reporters help their clients prepare for hearings, trials and other legal proceedings with remote depositions and presentation services such as PowerPoint presentations and printed trial boards.

For the last sixty years, scores of lawyers, law firms and attorneys across Michigan have experienced the Hanson Renaissance Court Reporting difference for themselves and become loyal customers. Hanson Reporting puts quality, commitment and excellence front and center all the time, reflecting the values embodied by the firm’s founder, Gerald Hanson. These values helped the firm establish a reputation for great court reporting, a reputation that continues to this day.
