It was established in 1928 and she was hired as a court reporter right out of court reporting school in 1991. In 2008 Seaton had the opportunity to purchase the company, and in 2021 she moved to Marshall to be with her husband Chuck with plans to retire. Instead, she saw the need to help the ladies in the D. O. H. T.s program in Marshall and give some of them an opportunity for training in court reporting, transcription, and legal videography.

In 1992, her native heritage opened up a door for her to be a court reporter on one episode of a television show called Northern Exposure! She has family in Harrison, Arkansas on her father's side.
