Schedule depositions for firm dates. Don't let the other side
keep postponing it for
a couple of months.
In 15 years of using my scheduling form and procedure, I never have
seen an adverse attorney with enough courage to make a motion to the
court to prevent a deposition going forward after it was scheduled by
me --- if I used this simple form and procedure.
Most attorneys waste personal time or staff time scheduling
depositions with opposing counsel. Until the usual telephone tag is
completed, the attorney has to keep his calendar open for the days
“our side” has told “their side” from which to chose an open date.
Then often what happens is that after everything seems agreed, a date
has been set, your notice of deposition has gone out, and you have
arranged your next month’s schedule accordingly, opposing counsel
calls back to say they have an impossible conflict, and the whole
cycle repeats. I have found that a simple form and procedure cuts down
the time waste, and lets you go forward with a firm deposition date.
This procedure gives the adverse attorney two consecutive professional
courtesies, and the form documents that you agreed to use the date
they said was the date they would be available. You did not pick
the date - they did. This simple scheduling form and procedure
has saved me thousands of dollars of time. It has saved me the
frustration of rescheduling and shuffling my deposition dates.
I have the form and a page of on how to use it. It has been
given to given to my firm's lawyers and legal assistants over the
years. IIt's worked for all of us.
But --- LawyerDepositionForms has a problem. Any deposition form they
sell has to have broad sales appeal to litigation lawyers. This
particular form has to be seen and used to be appreciated. It's hard
to understand why it should work so well. So, in short, this
particular form probably will not sell well on the internet. The
advice and form do not have "sales appeal."
So I have decided to give it away. That's right. no cost
for this particular advice and short form in PDF format (bundled
as DepoForm DEP002). . No catches. No need to register your
email address and get sales emails sent to you top sell you something
else. Giving this away is a way to make life a little easier for
trial attorneys.
