Hanson Renaissance Court Reporters was founded in 1963 by retired U.S. Marine Gerald Hansen. Sixty years later, Gerald’s son, Gerald Hansen, Jr., continues his father’s legacy, carrying on the family business with the same values and principles of integrity, discipline and determination that his father used to make Hanson Renaissance Court Reporters one of Michigan’s most respected court reporting companies.
