Anything else you would like to share?
Live Deposition has helped us get depositions done that we were told were impossible due to time, location and scheduling. We have had attorneys break down on their way from Las Vegas to Los Angeles for a deposition and setup a Live Deposition on the fly and have him attend on his iPad at the Starbucks while the witness and opposing counsel where in our office. What would have been a rescheduled Deposition turned into a 4 hour Starbucks coffee shop completed depo.
