The importance of a good first impression during a deposition #shorts

Lawyers: Don’t underestimate the power of a good first impression, especially when taking a deposition. Taking a deposition can be daunting for new lawyers, but as someone who’s done so for 20+ years, how you look, act, and present yourself matters greatly. It should go without saying but dress sharply, be early, shake everyone’s hand and be respectful. You might not feel it in the moment, but prioritizing a good first impression could make a huge difference down the line. As I always say, leopards don’t change their spots — what kind of leopard are you? #lawyer #lawyersoftiktok #triallawyer #deposition
