Hi! I'm TJ...
OWNER OF CHECK MY TRANSCRIPT
I am from New Jersey, where I live with my wife and our three dogs. I love to travel, watch interesting documentaries, and I also recently renovated an RV!
Professionally, I am a freelance proofreader and scopist with a vast amount of experience in legal work and within the court system.
I complete every task I am assigned with the attention and focus it deserves. I strive to produce clean, legible, neat transcripts that are accurate, detailed, and easy to read.
Hiring me allows you to focus your efforts elsewhere, such as spending valuable time with family and friends or obtaining additional higher paying work. Either way, working with me will allow you to remain confident that your final projects are polished and free of errors.

SCoping
process
