[WSBAPT] Evidence Question

[Maureen Wickert]

Amanda, 

If you are concern about evidentiary challenges, it is best to take your phone to a court reporter. A court reporter will transcribe your text messages, convert the messages into a PDF format for print and a CD or an email link for your use and use by the court. It can be spendy depending on how many text messages to be transcribed. But, it is worth it if there are possible challenges by opposing counsel. Then you can delete the text message from your phone. It is easier not to do business with clients via text message if you can because of the lack or difficulty of printing text messages from your phone and/or your service provider. 


Very truly yours, 
Maureen A. Wickert, Attorney at Law

For my iPhone, I can take a screen shot of the messages by pressing the start button and the home button at the same time. I then email the screen shot as an attachment. For a long message, this would require several screen shots. 

Regards,

I realize this is off topic but maybe someone will know~ 



How would you use text messages as evidence in Court? Does anyone know how to get the text messages off of the phone into a format that could be used? I thought about hiring a paralegal to transcribe it with dates and times but I feel like there must be some simpler way to do it.
