THE AMERICAN GUILD OF COURT VIDEOGRAPHERS

Founded in 1995 by Dr. Gayle Marquette assisted by ten of the top legal videographers in the nation, the American Guild of Court Videographers(AGCV) is the only organization on the planet made up of professional videographers specifically trained in all aspects of legal videography.  There is no other including those certified by any other organization.  Yes, there is a difference in certifications!

Many videographers and some lawyers today do not realize that legal videography is far more than just video recording depositions with a “talking head” shot.  Much to the contrary, legal videography includes such things as video recording scenes of incidents, proof of damages, evidence of insurance fraud, video wills and pre-nuptial agreements, day-in-the-life documentaries, pre-construction surveys, settlement documentaries and much much more.

Recognizing the requirements of Rule 30 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures, the Rules 1000-1008 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, in addition to the State and District Court rules, and understanding there are certain things which cannot be included in legal video evidence that will be introduced into a trial, the AGCV has dedicated itself to training professional legal videographers in all aspects of video recording visual evidence, including the final preparation of the evidence so that it cannot be impeached and thrown out of court.
