About Us

Meet the Owners of Capitol Pacific Reporting

Sandy and Kris are a mother-daughter team who run Capitol Pacific Reporting embracing Sandy’s experience and wisdom with Kris’s experience and vibrance. Sandy founded the firm in 1978 as a solo practitioner. Through the years, she hired independent contract court reporters to help cover the growing schedule of CPR. Kris came on in 1995 as a brand-new court reporter and stayed solely in the court reporting role until 2016. In 2016, Kris took on the client and reporter/staff management side of the business while Sandy held onto the financial management end of the firm. This has turned out be to an extremely successful partnership and CPR is flourishing under the management of this dynamic duo!
