Local legal videographer earns national certification

The National Court Reporters Association announced Bill Sammons of Millsboro has earned the nationally recognized Certified Legal Video Specialist certification.

The designation acknowledges Sammons’ high level of skill and understanding of knowledge related to all facets of videotaping, court proceedings and judicial procedures, and his ability to deliver accurate and timely finished video product.

Video specialists are in high demand for court proceedings nationwide. A CLVS is an expert in understanding how to set up and capture the specific information needed by parties to a case in a video format. These professionals are highly trained to provide accurate and vital records in this type of specialized format.

A member of NCRA, Sammons has worked as a professional videographer for more than 30 years, starting as a TV broadcast journalist, and later owner and lead producer with Watermark Productions. He recently retired from a career managing The Bridge radio network and remains on the board of directors with The Bridge of Hope Inc.

“Earning the CLVS certification from the NCRA was rigorous and challenging,” Sammons said. “Legal video is quite different from commercial and broadcast video production, with its rules and regulations, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to provide quality video depositions and court-related video production services to the local legal community.”
