Preparing for Your Deposition
A deposition isn't casual—it's sworn testimony, just like being in court. That's why preparation matters.
Your attorney will meet with you ahead of time to review the facts, go over the strengths as well as the weak spots of your case, and walk you through what to expect.
They may even role-play questions so you feel confident and prepared. Together, you'll anticipate opposing counsel's questions and organize clear, focused answers.
The most important rule? Always tell the truth.
If you don't know or don't remember, it's perfectly acceptable to say, “I don't know” or “I don't recall.”
During the deposition:
- Listen carefully to each question.
- Answer truthfully and briefly.
- Do not volunteer extra information.
- If your attorney objects, wait to answer the question unless you are instructed not to.
You may have the opportunity to review and sign the transcript later to correct any errors.
Preparation, honesty, and cooperation are key to a strong deposition performance and avoiding costly mistakes. We at Kaufman Monroe Law are here to help you maximize your case and reduce potential problems.
