Export conversations out of iMessage

I work for a company that is having to produce certain communications for legal matters, including text and iMessages. What is the best way to export iMessages to document these conversations? I had originally thought about screenshots, but some of these conversation are extremely extensive.

Depends on the computer you are using, for PCs I prefer TouchCopy, which also works on Macs, but for Macs I have used Phoneview extensively.

A valuable purchase if you will have to keep doing this. It will let you turn on time/date stamp for each one.

you will need to purchase a 3rd party software like touch copy.
