Who saw the crazy deposition example??? I may have to post a reaction video to it 😂

My tip would be to always qualify your answers. For example if the deposer asks "What injuries did you suffer from the accident" start your answer with something like "My injuries as a result of the accident are as follows *but are not limited to* " that way they cannot catch you in an alleged lie by omission.

another way to start would be "as far as i remember"

After my deposition, I asked for a copy of the transcript so I could review it for errors. At the time the deposition was taken, my answers to some of the questions was, "I don't remember." But during and after reviewing the transcript, I was able to jog my memory banks until I was finally able to recall what I was not able to remember at the time the questions were posed to me. My attorneys greatly appreciated me sharing what I hence remembered since some of the facts helped us win the case. Upon reflection, I think I said I don't remember simply because I wanted to be as truthful as possible, so I erred on the side of caution in order to avoid telling a lie.

I'm facing an important deposition. Of all the YouTube videos I have been watching yours are the best. You hit all the points, explain them clearly and are charming while doing it. This old woman thinks you are an incredible young man as well as attorney. Wishing you all the success in life.

Im the plaintiff of an upcoming trial in December.. have my depo on the 16th, and a scheduled (second) mediation on the 28th. I’ve waited about 3 years for this trial I think being nervous is kind of gone, but then again I’m the queen of anxiety. I’m glad I have two awesome attorneys

Hi. Just preparing for a deposition next month on zoom. Thank you for the great guidance. I’ll be looking at more of your videos. This one helped greatly. I’m an introvert and get overwhelmed fairly quickly with being on the spotlight. 😅

I have my deposition tomorrow morning at 9 am 😬

[AngelAnthoNY]

I felt comfortable with the 50-h hearing & now I’m going to nail this deposition at 10 am.. btw I’m breaking night!

Is it true if you have a judge or jury trial is it true that the client should look at the jury or judge when answering questions? I’d have a problem doing that. I like to look directly at the person asking a question when I answer them.

Do u have video's for self representation in a vehicle damages cases !

[livingmybestlie]

Is a pro se plaintiff, like myself, can I ask the defendant the same questions during his deposition that he did not answer in my interrogatories served on him, which was all of them?
