Your satisfaction with top of the line services New England Trial Services provides is our highest priority. After you get to know us, you will begin to see why we have dozens of clients who are not only satisfied but who recommend us to their friends and colleagues.
Ian A. McWilliams, CLVS is Certified by the National Court Reporters Association as a Legal Video Specialist and is President of New England Trial Services. He has videotaped thousands of hours of deposition testimony and electronic demonstrative evidence and participated as trial technician in over 50 jury trials during his more than 10 years of legal video and trial presentation career.
Prior to forming NETS, Ian was the Director of Media Services for the Boston office of a nationwide court reporting chain.
He began his career in the Presentation Industry, “back in the day”, when a “Multimedia Presentation” meant 64 slide projectors racked up behind a 12 foot screen; when a video projector weighed 75 pounds and was cooled by water and you could not point your camcorder at the light or you could burn the tube.
Ian has worked as a musician, audio recording engineer, rock band roadie, radio disk jockey, audio/visual tech, stage lighting director, sports cameraman, industrial video producer, and nightclub manager. He has worked for such clients as IBM, Farmers Insurance Group, Panther Productions, Waylon Jennings and the Monterey Jazz Festival.

Albert Maher – Al served his country as a non-commissioned officer in the US Air Force, retiring in the mid 1990’s. In his career with the Air Force Al has traveled the world and operated and repaired untold numbers of electronic equipment, most of which he won’t tell us about because it was all Top Secret. One of the things he did tell us about: on the eve of deployment to the Persian Gulf region in advance of Operation Desert Storm Al was suddenly diverted to the Hawaiian Island of Kauai in the aftermath of devastating hurricane Niki to establish satellite communication which would allow rescuers to communicate with the outside world.
Al is a deposition videographer and the handyman for New England Trial Services because he can repair anything electronic and always carries a tool kit on his belt.
Richard Mendes – Richard is an accomplished lighting director for rock bands in Massachusetts as well as a disk jockey for weddings, parties and special events. Richard has been videotaping depositions since 1999 and has taped testimony in some of New England’s biggest cases.
