Mehaffey Transcription uses flat per-case pricing for legal discovery transcription, not per-minute billing. Transcript Only is $135 per case, Transcript + Human Verification is $180 per case (first case free for new clients), and a Bulk Case Backlog is $600 flat. Upload your discovery and your quote appears automatically.
| Service | Price | Best for | Deliverable | Court-ready | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transcript Only | $135 / case | Fast review of an entire case | Timestamped Word document | — | Start |
| Transcript + Human Verification | $180 / case | Anything that may be used in court | Court-ready, speaker-attributed Word document | Yes | Start |
| Bulk Case Backlog | $600 flat | Clearing a 2-year backlog | Every recording, pulled from your link | — | Start |
Pick any or all of these when you place an order. One $50 covers whatever you choose:
| AI reference folder | Your whole case, discovery and transcripts, converted to plain text any AI tool can read. Drop the folder into Claude, ChatGPT, or NotebookLM and start asking questions. We include an index, a single-file version of the whole case, and a page of prompts to get you going. |
| Discovery summary | A plain-English rundown of what's in the production: either a straight inventory of what you got, or a narrative summary of the case. Written as drafts for you to review, not filings. |
| File conversion | A phone dump that only opens in some reader program the DA sent? Jail calls in a format nothing plays? Surveillance video off a gas-station DVR? Send it over. We convert it into files you can actually open, hash everything at intake, and never touch your originals. |
No idea what format you're holding? That's fine. Upload it and we'll figure it out.
Standard turnaround is 2 to 3 business days for a typical case. Need it sooner? Rush any order for $50 and it goes to the front of the line, delivered by the end of the next business day. There's a court-date field on the order form either way, so we can plan around your setting even without a rush. Large bulk backlogs get a schedule when we see the files.
Our rates are flat and posted right here, which makes funding motions easy: print this page, attach it to your motion, and the invoice will match it to the dollar. Mark your order court-appointed and we start without any payment up front. You get a print-ready quote for the motion, and once we deliver, that same page becomes an itemized invoice with the case caption, order cite, and a hashed file list, ready to drop into your voucher packet. The county pays us when the county pays. That's between us and the county, not you.
Flat pricing means you already know. Pick what you need:
New here? Your first human-verified case is on us. Private orders add Texas sales tax at checkout, which works out to 6.6% of the total under the data-processing rate. County-billed orders are exempt.
New clients get their first human-verified case free: a court-ready, speaker-attributed Word transcript. Files are encrypted, kept private to your account, and automatically removed 30 days after delivery.
