Video Class: How to Prepare Your Client for Deposition

I’ve written about and presented seminars and webinars on numerous deposition topics. One of the most useful subjects, both for lawyers and their clients, has been preparing to give testimony at a deposition. Proper preparation of the witness can reduce anxiety, improve performance and dramatically affect litigation outcomes.

Deposition today is often the closest a client will get to a “day in court,” as fewer and fewer cases go to trial. The deposition is usually the first time that the opposition will meet and evaluate your client – and formulate decisions about how to resolve the case.  The opposition will be looking to uncover and exploit any inconsistencies, improbabilities, weaknesses, and flaws present in your client’s testimony and your case.  One mistake at this crucial point in the litigation can break your client’s case.

For an in-depth look at how to prepare your witness, check out my one-hour video class: “How to Prepare Your Client for Deposition.” Now available in streaming video from AttorneyCredits.com. Although geared for lawyers,  if you are facing your own deposition, you may find the advice useful.
