About Us
Overview
Dixie Cattell & Associates proudly offers more than four decades of unwavering commitment to our clients. Our team of expert court reporters, each boasting an average of 25 years in the field, hold Certified Court Reporter (CCR) credentials, with a significant number also certified as Registered Professional Reporters (RPR). We are dedicated to maintaining a standard of consistency and continuity in multi-deposition cases. To this end, we endeavor to assign the same reporter to each case as much as possible. On occasions where continuity is not possible, we ensure a smooth transition by sharing specialized job dictionaries among our reporters.
You can count on us to meet and even exceed your expectations. We will do whatever it takes to meet your needs and we are dedicated to keeping up with the latest technology and will be happy to help you if you need assistance with Zoom, screen-sharing exhibits, or anything that helps you in your job.

Stephanie Elder, CCR, RPR
Stephanie graduated from L.H. Bates in Washington in 1989, worked for our firm until 1994 while she and her then-husband were stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McCord. She then moved back to South Dakota where she was raised and taught court reporting for around seven years, did some medical transcription work, and then went back into freelance court reporting around 2000. Since 2000, she has spent most of that time freelancing with about 10 years of working as an official.
In February of 2025, after my encouraging Stephanie to get re-licensed in Washington again, she did get her court reporting license in Washington, and she has been covering remote Zoom depositions for us since then while juggling her work at the courthouse. We are glad to have her back.
Stephanie loves spending time with her husband, living in the country on their acreage, camping, motorcycle-riding, and spending time with their families.
