Revolutionizing the Video Deposition Deliverable

At Fortz Legal, we take pride in staying on the cutting edge of new technological innovations. For video depositions, the industry standard for a long time has been to ship DVDs. We used to ship DVDs too, but nowadays many client's are unable to play DVDs due to new computers being made without DVD drives.
