Legal Partners L.P. in Austin Texas.

I checked SC and the Orange button. No answers there.

Has any one any experience with them?

I am being asked to notarize "deposition questions". Have never done that. Any input from some one that has would be greatly appreciated.

Also a fee rate if there is one.

TIA

John

Great company. Avg time to receive my payments YTD is 8 days (but I am in TX verses CA).

2nd part of your question

Texas written depositions are a series of questions attested to by the document custodian.
I do several of these a month and charge $45 each if the drive is short. I have done so many for the same people that I can normally complete everything from out my door to dropping at the Post Office in 30-40 minutes. On days when you can get 2-3 done at the same location the profit becomes pretty attractive on a per hour basis.

There are normally two depositions, 1 for medical records and another for billing records. The Notary is expected(in my experiences) to mail the records and depositions back, so factor in about $2-$3 in additional costs for an envelope and postage.

Don, are you talking about depositions or

are you referring to "subpoenas"...

Depositions are a series of questions asked under oath - the responses are provided in a transcript, reviewed by the deponent and the deponent swears to the accuracy of the transcription;

A subpoena deuces tecum is a subpoena where documents are produced and affirmed as authentic by the document custodian.

I may be reading your post wrong but it sounds to me like you're referring to a subpoena.

depositions vs supeoenas

This may be a good question for His Hughness to chime in on....it seems unique to Texas. I just happen to live close to some major nationwide medical services companies that handle their records functions in California.

The firms I work for in these examples are always located in Texas and call the document a written deposition. In fact, one of the companies is named "Written Deposition Services".
The questions in the document are answered under oath by the Doc Custodian.

IME, the name is affidavit of medical records,

not deposition. Billing records, can't say as I haven't dealt with one of those as a NP or part of the medical staff of my husband's clinic.
