How To Answer Questions At Your Deposition: Don't Let The Gobbledygook Bamboozle You

This book collects a great deal of advice about what to do and not to do at a deposition. It prepares the witness for many of the common occurrences at a deposition.The book's scope goes well beyond the two basic rules that every witness should know: tell the truth, but volunteer nothing. It covers many other topics such as identifying and dealing with confusing questions, abusive conduct, and interruptions. Also discussed is the little known but widely used tactic of trial lawyers to use the foibles of your memory against you. What you think you know, but don't, can hurt you. The book explains your counter-tactic: talk less. Many examples and a self-test are given to illustrate the concepts.This book is designed for lay witnesses in any type of civil lawsuit. Young attorneys should benefit from it too. They can quickly learn lessons which experience will slowly teach them.

I wish this book had been available before the first time I was deposed. I've received some of the advice presented here but never all of it and never in such a straight forward and easy to read manner. Even if you've been deposed before read this and discuss it with your attorney. I am a business person who is deposed as much as once or twice each year and will read this book again before the next.

It is basic depo strategy that I use for my clients. I give them the book when deposition is set and have them read it before we do our deposition review. It seems to work, Straightforward and easy to understand.

this short book allowed me to feel confident going to my deposition.I recommend reading it if you have to go to one.

Absolutely excellent preparation no matter why you are being called to a deposition. Repeats enough to improve learning. Extremely easy read. Provides calming at a time you do NOT feel calm!

This book gave an insight look into what to expect in and during ad position. The author did a great job at the end giving examples of the myths held by many lay people. Good buy!
