Creativity Misfit! Logo for Court Reporting Svs

Debra Duran & Associates/www.debraduran-associates.com

We are a court reporting firm in Florida. Our clients are attorneys/lawyers who hire us to report depositions, trials, meetings, etc etc. I want to attract large and small firms so looking for a sleek, professional look but also want a "little" personality. I was leaning toward incorporating a lighthouse into my logo and my slogan to be "Your Beacon to Superior Court Reporting Services". I do sponsorships and am always being asked to upload my logo for their flyers, e-mails blasts, etc and would like the logo to be used for letterhead, flyers, and eventually a new website design to tie in.

We primarily work for lawyers, paralegals, and the court system; all realms of legal.

As stated above, need a logo to incorporate into letterhead, email, etc. I need my name in it, Debra Duran & Associates but am also open to enlarging the initials of DDA..........and then somehow spinning the full name off of that: Debra Duran & Associates. I like the idea of incorporating a lighthouse because I love all things water and thought it would be a cool slogan on the website of " Your Beacon to Superior Court Reporting Services." I'm COMPLETELY un-creative so I'm very open to creativity! Professional looking is a must... no cartoons or too fancy.

The attachment is my feeble attempt at creating this logo myself but gives a glimpse of the "lighthouse" concept.
