DEBBIE new

Proudly a woman-owned company

After starting her career as a court reporter in 1979, Alaris CEO Deborah Weaver soon saw the need for specialized litigation services. Founding Midwest Litigation in 1985, she created the company's trial services division 14 years later before launching ADR services in 2010. 

independently owned

Independently owned since 1985

When Alaris, formerly Midwest, opened its doors more than 30 years ago, we focused solely on the litigation needs of our clients. Since then, we've expanded our offerings to include trial and ADR services, meeting and anticipating the needs our clients in an ever-changing industry.

— Testimonials

Can’t thank you enough for your fast service. Love doing business with Alaris. You make my life so much easier, LOL!

- Legal Assistant—Sedalia, MO

Debbie, I am willing to open an office in St. Louis just so I can work with your people. I have never experienced such professionalism accompanied by such warm personal attention. It is a joy to work with your staff.

- Attorney—Denver, CO

I spent the summer attending a lot of depositions all over the country, and I can’t tell you how nice it was to have assistance like Dawn provided. Depositions can be stressful, but she made sure everything ran smoothly, and I just really appreciated it.

- Attorney—Washington, D.C.

Thank YOU so much for all the arrangements for yesterday's marathon mediation. Again, thank you for being so personable and helpful yesterday, perhaps especially for going out in the cold for our lunches!

- Attorney—St. Louis, MO

You guys make it a lot easier to schedule depos than folks I've worked with in past and are very on top of things!  

- Attorney—St. Louis, MO

I’ve really had good results from your company. Always impressed with the professionalism.  

- Legal Assistant—Kansas City, MO

These last few depositions were quite large, and I appreciate how quickly you have gotten them to us. I am always pleased with the service I receive from Alaris. You always go above and beyond, and it is greatly appreciated.  

- Attorney—Columbia, MO

Debbie, you guys are like family and make the deposition challenges so much easier for us…thanks for all the great work!  

- Paralegal—Denver, CO

As always, you have come through for me in a pinch, and I appreciate it so much!  

- Legal Assistant—Columbia, MO

This was truly the most efficient way for everybody to present their side of the case, and I will highly endorse Alaris Litigation at our next paralegal meeting!!!!  

- Paralegal—St. Louis, MO

There is no one more talented, more dedicated to task and reliable as team member. I've seen it first hand and basked in the glow of her work. 

- Principal—St. Louis, MO

We try to use Alaris Litigation for our court reporting needs whenever possible. Debbie's staff is always punctual, helpful, and does great work. But we also rely heavily on Debbie and her staff for our trial technology needs. They do a great job of helping us put on evidence in a professional, seamless manner. On top of all that, Debbie is willing to jump in and help solve any other problem you may need to solve. She recently helped us search out a translator for a relatively rare language. Overall, Debbie and her staff provide terrific service, and I highly recommend them for your litigation needs. 

- Complex Litigation Attorney—St. Louis, MO

The deposition went spectacularly, and I always enjoy having Alaris there to assist. You have one spectacular team you work with, and it is always my pleasure to have one of your team members by our side! I will be out of the office most of the day; however, rest assured everything went spectacularly and your team always exceeds my expectations.

- Attorney - Jefferson City, MO

Just wanted to let you know how pleased the attorney was with your facilities, the court reporter and everything about the experience during his depo. yesterday.  It went off without a hitch even given the near disaster of the wrong date on the depo. notice.  I particularly appreciated how responsive your scheduling department was to every e-mail question I sent while setting up the deposition – the set-up was short-notice and your office accommodated everything we requested.  Just wanted you to know how nice it was to deal with a totally professional organization.  Our St. Louis office recommended you and you met all expectations.  Thank you again for all of your help.

- Legal Assistant—Memphis, TN

In any event, if I ever have a company I would want it to have the can do attitude that Alaris has, from top to bottom.  It’s great to work with people who “get it.”

- Attorney—Cape Girardeau, MO

We truly appreciate the professionalism of your court reporters and the company. We never have any scheduling issues, lateness or last minute cancellations. Alaris has saved us on many occasions by being able to cover depos at the last minute due to last minute cancellation coverage; just to name a few!
