New Release Further Simplifies and Enhances Deposition Scheduling

Florham Park, N.J. – September 11, 2007 – Esquire Deposition Services, the leading provider of court reporting and legal support services in the U.S., today announced the next release of EsquireConnect, its Internet-based court reporting scheduling management service. The new release further simplifies the process of scheduling depositions and other proceedings at any time, from any location and for any proceeding venue. The new release also gives all users greater control over scheduling management, and provides additional assistance for out-of-town schedulers.

EsquireConnect allows clients to schedule depositions anywhere in the country through their local Esquire office, offering traveling clients one familiar point of contact no matter where the depositions or other proceedings take place. Since EsquireConnect’s introduction in May 2006, user registrations and settings have steadily increased, and have rapidly grown since the recent launch of the new release. The service is available at no charge to all Esquire Deposition Services clients at www.esquireconnect.net.

“Our clients’ adoption and support of EsquireConnect has far exceeded our expectations. We have seen usage figures continue to rise, particularly with repeat users,” said Tony Vaglica, CEO of The Hobart West Group, Esquire’s parent company. “Our clients have told us that EsquireConnect has reduced scheduling time, and provided additional online management tools that have helped them coordinate and schedule. Their enthusiastic feedback provided direction for enhancements to the system.”
