Depositions can be intimidating—they're often your first interaction with opposing counsel or an insurance representative. Making a positive impression is crucial, and your credibility, demeanor, and presentation can significantly impact your case. In this video, we’ll cover essential tips to help you navigate this process with confidence.

✅ Dress for Success

Think of your deposition like a job interview. Choose neat, respectful attire that shows you take the process seriously—no need for a suit, just professionalism.

✅ Stay Calm Under Pressure

If opposing counsel gets aggressive, don’t argue. Stick to the facts, and let your attorney handle any disputes.

✅ Take Breaks When Needed

Feeling overwhelmed? It’s okay to pause. Breaks are there to help you reset and refocus.

✅ Avoid Humor or Sarcasm

Depositions are recorded, and jokes can backfire. Be clear, direct, and professional.

✅ Honesty is Key

Always stick to the truth. Exaggerations or inconsistencies can harm your credibility.

Your deposition is a chance to showcase your honesty and likability, which can influence settlement offers and case outcomes. Watch now for a deeper dive into these tips!
