Debi LaGamba, RPR/CRR
Reporter/Firm Owner After graduation from Canevin Catholic High School and Duff's Business Institute, I spent the next 11 years working at the Union Railroad, which was a subsidiary of U.S. Steel, in the Transportation Department recording various disciplinary hearings and also acting as a secretary to the Assistant Superintendent. In 1989 I joined the freelance agency Lana M. Byer and Associates, where I was a freelance court reporter until the year 2000. In 2000, I joined the freelance agency Wordz R Us, where I was a freelance court reporter until January 2010. I am now running the show at LaGamba Reporting Services, and would welcome your business! I am also a certified Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) and a Certified Realtime Reporter (CRR) through the NCRA (National Court Reporters Association). In my spare time I love to spend time with my family. I am married with two children and six grandchildren, ranging in age from 5 to 17 years. They are definitely the light of my life! I also enjoy traveling with family and friends. My favorite two places to visit are Las Vegas and Florida! I make my home in Crafton, PA, which is a wonderful little town just west of Pittsburgh. 
Lisa Meyers
Office Manager I began working as a Legal Secretary in 1993 and since that time I have worked as a Legal Secretary/Paralegal in personal injury, medical malpractice, asbestos litigation, preparation of contracts for union arbitrations, and other types of litigation. In 2013 I started working part-time with LaGamba Reporting and since 2014 I have been the Office Manager. I have been on both sides of deposition preparation, as a secretary with the deadlines of scheduling and securing transcripts, and currently with scheduling and preparation of transcripts for our clients. As a Secretary I was always happy to use LaGamba Reporting because of their immediate response; and because of that, I am very conscious of a quick response. You will not be disappointed with LaGamba Reporting!
