Deposition Coverage That Protects the Record.

What Happens When You Send the Wrong Attorney to a Deposition.

A deposition is not a conference. There is no judge to fix mistakes, no clerk to process a stipulation, no second chance to get the testimony right. If the attorney defending the deposition does not understand the case, does not know which topics to protect, and does not know when to make a proper objection, the record reflects it permanently.

Firms that use commodity per diem services for EBTs take a risk: the attorney shows up, sits quietly, makes generic “form” objections, and produces a transcript full of admissions that should never have been made. Your client’s case is weaker before trial begins.

Every Deposition Gets Preparation, Not Just Presence.

Pre-deposition review. Before the EBT, we review the Bill of Particulars, police or accident reports, medical records, and any prior transcripts. We do not walk in cold. We understand the theory of the case and the areas that need protection.

Client preparation. For plaintiff depositions, we arrive one hour before the scheduled start time (typically 10:00 AM or 2:00 PM). We walk the witness through what to expect: the format, the types of questions, how to answer clearly, and how to handle pressure. Professional presence and composure matter at deposition. We help your client project both.

Active advocacy. During the EBT, we maintain detailed notes, monitor for improper questioning and coaching, make timely objections under CPLR 3115, and take breaks when the witness needs them. We are not passive observers. We protect the record.

You Know What Happened Before the Transcript Arrives.

Within 24 hours of every deposition, you receive a substantive written report that includes:

Summary of testimony. Key admissions, favorable testimony, and problematic answers flagged.

Witness assessment. How the witness presented. Credibility evaluation. Jury appearance assessment.

Exhibits. Scanned copies of all marked documents.

Next steps. Recommendations for follow-up discovery, supplemental demands, or motion practice based on the testimony.

This is not a one-line email that says “deposition taken.” This is an intelligence report that tells you where your case stands after the EBT.
