I’m Rex Cordova — founder of Alitigate LLC, full-time legal videographer since 2016, NCRA CLVS Council member, and founding board member of Advancing Legal Video.

For the past nine years, I’ve worked thousands of real depositions and legal proceedings — not as a side project, not as a content experiment, but as my primary profession. I built a six-figure legal video business by learning the job the hard way: on site, under pressure, with real consequences for mistakes.

Legal Video Ace exists because this industry has always had a problem.

Legal videography is one of the best-kept secrets in professional video work:

  • Strong hourly rates
  • Weekday demand
  • High trust, low competition

But for newcomers, the path in has historically been unclear.

There’s no universal training pipeline.

No practical on-ramp.

And very little patience for beginners who “figure it out on the job.”

Most people who fail in legal video don’t fail because they’re incapable — they fail because they were never properly prepared.

Legal Video Ace was built to fix that.

What Makes This Different

Legal Video Ace is not:

  • A hype course
  • A shortcut scheme
  • A replacement for certification

It is:

  • Practical, field-tested training
  • Built from real workflows and real standards
  • Designed to prepare people before they ever show up on a job

The goal is simple:

Help serious newcomers enter the field competently, professionally, and with the confidence clients expect.

Legal Video Ace complements industry organizations like CLVS and Advancing Legal Video by preparing people early — so when they pursue certification or deeper involvement, they’re ready.

About the Founder

In addition to building and operating Alitigate, I’ve trained legal videographers, advised on industry standards, and worked alongside court reporters, attorneys, and agencies nationwide.

I'm also the author of Legal Video Ace: How to Get Started as a Legal Videographer — A Beginner’s Guide to the Work, the Gear, and the Realities of Breaking In, a practical guide written to demystify the work and set realistic expectations for newcomers.

Everything in Legal Video Ace reflects the same philosophy:

This is professional work in a serious industry — and it deserves serious preparation.

Legal Video Ace is built for:

  • Freelancers who want stable, professional weekday work
  • Creatives burned out on unpredictable gigs
  • Career switchers looking for a legitimate on-ramp
  • People who value standards, preparation, and reliability

It is not built for:

  • Passive income seekers
  • Influencer-style videography
  • Anyone unwilling to take professionalism seriously
