You can save time and still be better prepared.  You don't even want to start to invest the hundreds of hours of time that went into preparing our legal deposition questions, outline checklists, legal forms, and trial notebook forms. Save your legal time and get expertly crafted forms!)

Let's say you send an hour creating a legal deposition questions outline in a checklist format for your next deposition.  (If you only spend an hour, it probably will not be a good comprehensive list of all the question areas, but let's use that as a minimum time.)  Now let's say you do that creation of a checklist for your deposition preparation three times.  That's 180  minutes.  Now what is your cost of 180 minutes creating outlines of the  deposition questions?   Not your billing rate --- your costs to keep the secretary paid and the door open.  How much do you pay out every hour to keep the office door open?  Let's say your total cost of sitting there is $75 per hour. That's a total out-of-pocket cost for you creating three deposition outlines of $225.  

Not to mention that most attorneys, especially if they are on a contingent fee basis, want to save time.  You do not have enough time in a day, so both spending money and also losing time creating your deposition outline does not make sense.

Now suppose you could get prepared deposition checklists from which you can start to do your customization for your particular case.  They could easily save you half your time in preparing for depositions.  That's money in your pocket!.

So the moral of the story is simple:
Use checklists to create
depositions that work for you!

But there is more to it than that.  A good deposition outline checklist is a lawyer mentor in a box -- guiding you and preventing mistakes. Good deposition forms multiply your time spent thinking about the items to be asked at deposition or trial.  The major time thinking about the items to be included has already been accomplished for you.  You are not likely to miss a point because time to prepare was short. This is the single most important reason for preparing for a deposition by starting with a form ---
Forms are a lawyer mentor in a box -- guiding you, preventing mistakes, and adding power to your work product.

Another advantage of having a form in your office --- legal assistants are more effective in helping the trial attorney if they have a checklist legal form to point the way.  If you have a legal assistant, you will get more help from them if you let them see a checklist of the questions you want to cover in a deposition.  Let's say your premises liability checklist shows "What shoes were you wearing?"  Suddenly the legal assistant knows that he/she should be asking the plaintiff client to bring in the shoes worn on the day of the fall at the premises.  Avoid surprises and gather maximum information by using your deposition checklist even before a deposition.  Use it in fact gathering and in investigations and witness conferences.

In fact -- we find LA's buying these forms themselves because they want the advantage of a lawyer mentor guiding, preventing mistakes, and allowing them to hand their lawyer a finished outline of what they witness can say or should be asked about.
