Description

Let us hear from you!

Your deposition in a family law case is one of the most important moments in the litigation process. Are you prepared?

In this episode, we break down how to perform well at your deposition, save time/money, and increase the likelihood of a reasonable outcome.

In this crucial, you will learn:

  • The absolute necessity of telling your attorney everything (even the embarrassing parts).
  • How your attorney uses "issue spotting" to prepare you for the topics you’ll face.
  • Why having reasonable expectations can help you reach key agreements before the deposition.
  • The importance of knowing your facts cold: daily schedules, medical providers, and your own desired outcomes.
  • How to participate properly: listening carefully, answering only what's asked, not trying to think ahead of the current question, respecting silences, and letting your attorney object.

A strong deposition performance can shorten your litigation and lead to a better resolution for your family.
