Four the Win: Fortz Legal Cracks the Inc. 5000 for the Fourth Time—No Objections!

Grand Rapids, MI — August 19, 2025

Fortz Legal, the full-service litigation support firm that’s been quietly making lawyers look good since 2015, has once again earned a coveted spot on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America. Ranking at No. 4601 with an impressive three-year revenue growth of 67%, this marks Fortz Legal’s fourth appearance on the prestigious list.

“We’re honored and humbled,” said Shaun Fitzpatrick, Founder and CEO of Fortz Legal. “Making the Inc. 5000 once is exciting. Twice is validating. Three times is impressive. But four times? Never in my wildest dreams!”

The Inc. 5000 list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include household names like Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, and Patagonia. Joining this elite group for the fourth time is a testament to Fortz Legal’s relentless commitment to client service, cutting-edge technology, and the uncanny ability to make even the most chaotic litigation process feel like a well-organized brunch.

“From file to trial, we’ve built our reputation as the secret weapon for law firms that want results without the drama,” Fitzpatrick added.

Collin Ritsema, COO of Fortz Legal, chimed in with his signature humor: “We’re not saying we’re the Beyoncé of litigation support, but if the Inc. 5000 is the Grammys, we’re starting to feel like we need a trophy shelf.”

What’s Next?

Fortz Legal plans to continue expanding its services, hiring top-tier talent, and possibly installing a celebratory espresso machine in the office. Because nothing says ‘growth’ like caffeine and confetti.

For nearly a decade, Fortz Legal has specialized in court reporting, process service, legal videography, eDiscovery, and trial services. Headquartered in Grand Rapids, MI, the firm serves clients nationwide with precision, speed, and a healthy dose of humor.

“We’re proud of how far we’ve come and even more excited for what’s ahead,” Fitzpatrick said. “A huge thank you to our team, clients, and community for making this possible. Let’s keep going!”
