This testimony is typically taken outside the courtroom, usually at the office of the opposing counsel or a designated location. The deposition serves as a fact-finding phase, allowing both parties to gather information directly from witnesses, including expert witnesses, and gather evidence relevant to the case. Purpose of the Deposition: The primary purpose of the deposition is to gather information and evidence that will assist in building a strong case strategy. During this process, attorneys from both sides have the opportunity to ask questions and further understand the facts, circumstances, and potential defenses surrounding the case. Through cross-examination, your attorney will attempt to elicit valuable information that can support your legal position, highlight inconsistencies in the opposing party's testimony, or undermine their credibility.

Types of Depositions: 1. Expert Witness Depositions: If there are any expert witnesses involved in your case, they may also be subject to a deposition.
