Randel Raison, CET**D
Houston, Texas

Randel has a well-earned reputation for having high standards of excellence and for exceeding the expectations of those who have retained his services. His transcription firm, All Professionals Litigation Support Team, located in Houston, Texas, has the privilege of working in nearly a dozen states coast-to-coast, as well as worldwide. APLST has grown to include such notable client companies as CitiBank, Shell Oil, Pitney Bowes, CenterPoint Energy, and USA Today. In addition to handling a good deal of transcribing himself, Randel also serves as a mentor to his employees and associates by offering sound advice on the trickier aspects of transcription. He also offers an all-digital / on-line work environment, as many of his transcribers work part-time under a flexible schedule and several reside in states other than Texas.

In 2007, Randel was selected as "Transcriber of the Year" by the American Association of Electronic Reporters and Transcribers (AAERT.org). In 2008, the AAERT membership elected him to the Board of Directors. In 2009, Randel was elected President of the AAERT.

His fascination with electronics and the evolution of the Internet inspired many writings, including "Everything Lawyers Need to Know About the Internet But Don't Know How to Ask," and "Y2K: What Lawyers and Paralegals Need to Know," published by Half Moon Seminars, LLC, and presented at a professional meeting in 1999.
