We handle the grunt work of poring over thousands of pages of testimony so you can focus on legal strategy and winning cases. Once your summary is ready, two MS Word documents will be available for download in the summaries tab: A page line summary and a deposition memo. These will also be emailed to you unless you turn off this setting.

  • Key Admissions: Quickly identify the most critical statements and admissions with our Key Admissions summary. This concise report highlights the deposition's key points, saving you valuable time and effort.
  • Hyperlinked Table of Contents: Easily navigate to different chapters in the deposition via clickable hyperlinks.

  • Dynamic & Hyperlinked Page/Line Citations: Accurate and precise page/line citations with hyperlinks to the original dialogue for easy reference and checking.
  • Source Dialogue: We print the source dialogue for easy reference, complete with hyperlinks facilitating swift navigation back to the summary.

 

The Deposition Memo

We also include an additional document, the Deposition Memo, which provides a high-level overview and analysis of the deposition, helping you understand the key takeaways and prepare for your next steps. The memo organizes the summary around key legal and factual issues. It also includes accurate page/line citations hyperlinked to the source dialogue.
