Regal Court Reporting Acquires R. Leonard CSR Inc.

Two reporter-owned agencies have become one, united by shared values and a common vision for the future

SANTA ANA, CA, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Regal Court Reporting has acquired its fourth independently owned court reporting agency, expanding its suite of services while preserving the people-focused approach that defines the Regal brand.

Regal Court Reporting founders Isaiah and Stephanie Leslie had built a genuine rapport with Rick and Robin Leonard of R. Leonard CSR Inc. over the years. Recognizing a shared devotion to exceptional client care and a personalized approach in an increasingly automated industry, the choice felt natural when the time came for the Leonards to plan their transition.

“Watching Isaiah and Stephanie work with their staff and their clients, it’s like watching myself,” said Robin Leonard.

After 33 successful years in business, the Leonards were deliberate and precise in selecting their acquisition partner — choosing Regal because they were confident it would serve their clients at the highest level while carrying forward the legacy they built.

“We feel incredibly fortunate to have found an agency that shares so many of our values,” said Isaiah Leslie.
Looking ahead, Regal remains committed to leading with integrity, protecting the record, and honoring the legacies of the peers who trust Regal Court Reporting with the next chapter of their companies.
