When the defense calls a deposition, most PI providers experience a specific kind of dread. Not because they did anything wrong. Because they know they are going to have to explain every decision in that file -- every note, every treatment choice, every gap -- under oath. And they are not sure the record holds up to that scrutiny.

In this episode, Dr. Spence breaks down what deposition-ready actually means -- not as a preparation strategy for the week before testimony, but as a documentation standard built into every record from day one. He covers the five specific documentation standards that make a record defensible under oath, how to prepare when a deposition is called, and how to conduct yourself in the room so the defense attorney's script stays as thin as possible.
