Inhaltsangabe:

The testimony you give during a pretrial deposition can make or break your case - it can even affect whether or not it ever goes to trial. Now here's the good news: Trial lawyer Stuart Shapiro can get you through the ordeal with flying colors. In a friendly, accessible style spiced with anecdotes from some of the hundreds of depositions he has conducted for both plaintiffs and defendants, Shapiro takes the mystery and anxiety out of the legal process. He walks you through a preparation session and coaches you on how to keep your cool and give your best testimony, how to avoid common errors, and how not to be taken in by the opposition's subtle interrogation tricks.
You'll find everything you need to know to be fully prepared - from how to make the best impression to where to sit in the room and even how to avoid fatigue. Whether you're the plaintiff or the defendant, representing yourself or your company, an expert or a general witness, How to Survive a Deposition is an ally you don't want to be without.
