How to Give a Good Deposition and Testify Well in Court: 101 Winning Tips
Giving a deposition or testifying at a trial can be a painful and costly experience if you aren’t well prepared! Use these 101 easy tips as a jump-start to successfully prepare for your turn on the stand or in deposition. The tips are the result of Dr. Noelle Nelson’s working as a trial consultant with lawyers and their witnesses for over 25 years. You can see more about her work in the “client results†section (trial consulting tab) of her website: www.noellenelson.com. Unless specified otherwise, all the tips are equally valid for both deposition and trial.
Here’s what some lawyers have said about Dr. Nelson’s witness preparation techniques:
"Noelle Nelson is an excellent jury consultant. We used her in a … case to work with some particularly troublesome defense witnesses. She did a fine job coaching these witnesses on how to make a gentler, kinder, less defensive presentation in their testimony to the jury. She is easy to work with and quickly gains the cooperation and respect of even the most cantankerous witness. It is clear that she has mastered the techniques of teaching people how to make verbal and non-verbal responses which maximize their impact on the listener." - John B. Golper, Attorney; Ballard, Rosenberg & Golper
"If your case is burdened with the witness from Hell, don't despair, try the magic of Dr. Noelle Nelson's advice. I have seen her witness preparation skills turn a frog into a prince." - Howard A. Jaffe, Vice Chairman, COO & General Counsel, The InterGroup Corporation
“Dr. Nelson’s brilliance is evident in both her revealing insights into the courtroom drama, and her ability to effectively translate those insights into workable ideas for greater success. . .†- Marcia G. Lamm, Ph.D., Director, West Valley Psychological Clinic
