Deposition summaries for litigation teams
Your deposition summary. Back in 48 hours.
Topic-indexed, page-line cited, reviewed by a human before it reaches you. $1.75 per transcript page. If it isn't usable, it isn't billed.
A 200-page transcript takes a paralegal the better part of a week to summarize — or two weeks and $2.50–$3.00 a page from a traditional service. Raw AI tools are fast, but nobody stands behind the output.
How it works
1.
Send the transcript. PDF or e-transcript, through our secure intake. NDA signed before anything moves.
2.
We produce the summary. AI-assisted for speed, structured to your format — topic-indexed, chronological, or page-line digest — then reviewed line-by-line by a person.
3.
You get it back in 24–48 hours. With an admissions index, impeachment flags, and page:line citations you can drop straight into motion practice.
Judge the work, not the pitch.

Questions we actually get
Who is ClearDepo?
A specialist litigation-support studio. Small by design: every engagement is handled by the same team, and Matt Jelfs, our client director, is the named contact on every active matter.
Is outsourcing summaries permitted?
Yes. Attorney-supervised document support is long-settled practice under ABA Formal Opinion 08-451, including offshore delivery. We provide a precedent sheet and confidentiality agreement for your file.
How is confidentiality handled?
Confidentiality binds from intake; encrypted transfer and storage; access limited to the reviewer on your matter; files deleted on your schedule. BAA available where records include PHI. Read the full security page →
Do you use AI?
Yes, openly — for speed. Every summary is then reviewed by a person before delivery, which is the difference between us and the $1-a-page tools. You get the speed without staking your case on unreviewed output.
Can we bill this to the client?
Most firms pass summaries through as a case cost, as with any litigation-support vendor. Our invoices itemize per-page rates to make that straightforward.
