Why is Deposition Preparation Important?


How your client does in a deposition will make or break how the defense evaluates your case. You cannot put too much time into a deposition. 


Preparation Steps


These steps will allow you to properly prepare for the deposition. 1. Understand the defense’s case. 2. Make sure the client understands what the setting will be like 3. Do not overload the client with too much information. 4. Make sure the client knows to tell the truth. 


Mock Deposition


Get your client familiar with the process by practicing with someone else from your staff. If your client is struggling with a mock deposition, the worst thing you can do is add negativity to the situation. Keep your client feeling positive.
