Deposition

Policies for all depositions

1. Upon request for a deposition, it is the responsibility of the attorneys (client and/or noticing attorney) to communicate which party will pay the invoice for the deposition.
2. Advance notice of a video-recorded deposition is required. If advance notice is not provided, we reserve the right to postpone the deposition upon arrival.
3. Depositions scheduled less than 10 business days in advance may be subject to rush work fees.
4. If a case settles before a previously scheduled deposition and we are not made aware of the settlement, clients will be charged for any time spent preparing for the deposition.
5. Advance notice and written confirmation of a de bene esse (i.e., for trial) deposition is required, even if it occurs the same day as a discovery deposition.

 
Policies for in-person depositions

1. Perceptio Forensics does not have office space available for depositions. Therefore, attorneys (client and/or noticing attorney) are responsible for locating a meeting space for an in-person deposition.
2. Portal to portal travel expenses (airfare, time in transit, mileage reimbursement, hotel, meals, etc.) will be incurred and are the responsibility of the party paying for the deposition.
3. A written agreement must be signed by the party responsible for payment of travel expenses upon receipt of the notice of deposition.
4. We reserve the right to request prepayment for expenses associated with the deposition, including expected travel costs.
