The deposition process opens the door for potential ethics violations.

Join malpractice attorney Thomas Pendarvis as he shows you how to successfully—and ethically—prepare and defend your clients during deposition. Pendarvis will cover the relevant case law and ABA formal opinions so you can avoid straying into unethical tactics that may influence witness testimony and expose you to legal danger.

Pendarvis will cover:

  • Your responsibilities as a lawyer: representing your client without misrepresenting the case
  • How to avoid ethical issues when conducting remote depositions
  • The fundamentals of ethical witness preparation
  • Common but unethical tactics that could expose you to legal repercussions

Cases are often won or lost in depositions; preparing your client and case strategy is key to a successful case outcome. Don’t miss your chance to learn career-saving strategies in this one-of-a-kind video.
