Hi friends,

I am the defendant in a Civil Suit and have a good defense that i think will win if we go to trial.

FACTS(S)
1. I have a notarized statement from one of my witnesses. I am presenting that statement in the "production" requests from the Plaintiff.
2. I feel this witness will testify in trial in my favor based on this notorized statement.
3. Deposing witnesses cost money...in some cases a lot of money.

QUESTION(s)
-Do i need to spend my money depo my witness before trial?
-Since the witness will testify to the fact that he did in fact do work for me on my property..."would it be wise to let Plaintiff Depo my witness and let him spend "his money" on depositing this witness?

Notarized statements may be inadmissible "hearsay", in which case the judge will sustain your opponent's objection, and the statement will not be admitted.

The course recommends a friendly meeting with witnesses before they are called to testify in court or at depositions.

Study the tutorials on Discovery and Evidence, Bob.

Thank you Dr. Graves.
