Product Description

An indispensable resource for all non-medical experts, by the authors of How to Excel During Depositions and How To Excel During Cross-Examination. The Expert Deposition clearly and simply explains what to do and what not to do during all phases of the deposition process including: scheduling, preparation, dealing with documents and subpoenas, answering counsel's questions, avoiding abuse, and collecting your fee. The video demonstrates by example and includes over 40 examples of question and answer exchanges between lawyers and medical witnesses, each of which illustrates one or more points made during the tape. These points include how to eliminate scheduling difficulties; how to deal with pointed questions about your qualifications, fees, and opinions; how to ethically answer trick questions; how to properly handle, prepare and refer to documents and records; what not to do at deposition; and much more.
