Beovich Walter & Friend Certified Court Reporters has been providing exceptional services to the legal community in the Pacific Northwest since 1957, making our firm the longest operating reporting firm in Oregon. Year 51 begins with our ability to serve you on the national as well as local level along with a commitment to provide you with the most innovative technology available in the industry. Our dedication continues with the mission upon which our success has been founded – to meet the highest standards of quality, to provide the highest level of expertise and to do so with the utmost integrity.
As your legal services needs have become more diverse, our offerings have evolved to meet those needs, expanding to include the most innovative solutions to all of your unique court reporting, video, videoconferencing and document management needs. Our client-focused staff stands ready to assist you, our interactive website always available for access to your case information whenever you might need it.
With a large staff of full-time reporters and support personnel, we are always prepared to meet the needs of our clients – even when we’re called at the last minute. It is our priority to assign the same reporter and videographer to ongoing cases to build familiarity with procedures and preferences and thus enhance the professional relationship with clients who use us on a regular basis.
Our Principals, Julie Walter and R. Douglas Friend, joined our predecessor firm in 1986 and 1980 respectively, and became partners with Charlene Beovich shortly thereafter. Doug has earned Certified Shorthand Reporter (CSR), Certified Realtime Reporter (CRR) and Registered Merit Reporter certifications, and Julie has earned CSR, CRR and Registered Professional Reporter certifications. Both have been and continue to be active on the state and national leadership levels of professional associations and reporting networks. Julie continues to report on a regular basis, and Doug manages company operations. On the personal side, Doug is active in the local music scene as a singer and Julie is an avid runner, participating each year in Oregon’s Hood to Coast Run.
