THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I conducted my first deposition today and applied your tips and felt so empowered ❤ I got answers to the tough questions. That part on objection is priceless!

That’s so great to hear!!!

May I add some tips from a court reporter’s point of view: 1. Speak slowly. 2. Speak one at a time. 3. Read transcripts. In the last 20 years as a court reporter in CA, I find that attorneys, especially younger ones, are speaking faster and faster. Seems like their brain is going a mile a minute, and it sometimes shows by questions going anywhere and everywhere. It’s virtually impossible to take down multiple people speaking at once, usually when there’s an objection. Everyone will have a chance to speak and have their comments on the record. The transcript will be cleaner without dashes that we need to put in because one person is cutting off the other. I’m not sure if most attorneys actually read their deposition transcripts or if they have interns read them and give notes. This may help tremendously on how to make a good record. These three things will be very much appreciated by your court reporter 🤗

can't the recordings whether it be video or audio be used during trial anyhow or is it only what the court reporter is able to transcribe?

I love the coffee note. I have given my clients the best quality coffee artisano from my parents company.

Awesome. Good luck!!

I don't understand something: How come prisons are not overflowing with people who are exposed as liars under oath? Furthermore, in my case: Her LAWYER submitted a false exhibit at the hearing and it was later exposed. How come her lawyer was not disbarred?

Because the legal system is schitt. Crooked lawyers who charge for every hiccup, judges who are bias. They can all f off.

Great job Mike

When a plaintiffs lawyer is deposing a pro se defendant, I would think that this is where the case is won. The defendants goose has to be cooked. Thoughts?

Sometime, the attorney will object so much that a judge needs to be called. If the judge is not available, it becomes a deadlock.

Every other attorney video I've watched said to not give guestimates. It can go against you.

true, but he's pushing deponent to do just that because it's good for his side. Both are correct.

Great video sir. My absolute favorite is when corproate executives and corporate designee repeatedly testify “I don’t know” to critical questions where the evidence is stacked heavily against them and can only be looked at one way. These aee my favorite. And then I’m usually a a** and say you can testify to that nonsense all you want but that ain’t going to help you and only be devastating to your employer or the defendant in front of jurors in the Community hearing this case

Love that! The fact that they run a multi billion company and then seem to go deaf and mute and can’t understand simple questions is the best cross examination.

Why? For billing hours.

you can only object for form during a depo? that doesn't sound right why not relevance?

@AlderTalk

Because there is no judge so relevance would have to be ruled on. It’s not up to the lawyers to determine what is relevant. It’s decided later. Stewart v colonial western.

Watching for fun as I will be taking a deposition from a low level, scum lawyer. He's created a fraudulent case and I will be taking him down.
