Esquire Deposition Services and
Esquire Litigation Solutions Announce Expansion of New York City Location

New York, NY – April 2, 2008 – The Hobart West Group, parent company of Esquire Deposition Services and Esquire Litigation Solutions, the leading providers of court reporting and related legal support services in the U.S., today announced the relocation of its local New York office to One Penn Plaza in Midtown Manhattan, at a major transit hub and near the offices of some of the nation’s largest law firms. The move is part of the company’s continuing initiative to bring service and support closer to its primary customers in key markets across the U.S. The company’s Los Angeles office recently moved to a prominent downtown historic building, and additional office relocations were completed in 2007 in Chicago, Sacramento and Phoenix.

The company’s new Manhattan office includes twice the number of conference rooms as Esquire’s previous New York office, wireless Internet access for client convenience and full videoconferencing capability. The Penn Plaza location will serve as the company’s primary northeast regional production facility and will house several executive offices.

The new location includes litigation support services offered through Esquire Litigation Solutions, including a state-of-the-art electronic data discovery and scanning production center. Esquire delivers fully integrated litigation support services including a full suite of electronic discovery solutions, an online litigation repository and paper-based discovery services, in addition to a complete array of trial preparation and presentation services.

“We are excited to bring our local and regional office to the heart of New York City,” said Tony Vaglica, Chief Executive Officer of The Hobart West Group, parent company of both Esquire subsidiaries. “Our expanded production facility offers the capacity needed to support Esquire’s recent growth in New York, and the convenient location at Penn Plaza is an added benefit for the many attorneys that office nearby as well as those traveling to the city for depositions,” he continued.

Esquire Deposition Services offers industry-leading court reporting technologies, including realtime reporting, Internet depositions, video depositions, both recorded and streaming, video synchronization, and videoconferencing, through its more than 60 offices in major legal venues nationwide. Their free online scheduling service, EsquireConnect, and transcript repository service, EsquireTranscripts, are setting the technology standard in the court reporting market.
