Stalker "Deposing Me" (Accidents & Personal Injury Law)

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 16:25:00 GMT

I just found out today that my "stalker" is deposing me.

The deposition is in September, and I'm scared to death.
How am I supposed to be in the same room, sitting across from a man who is stalking me.

My lawyer is lovely, he said that he{stalker} will be checked for weapons, etc.

Since "stalker"fought the restraining order, I can't just get out of being in the same room.

This just doesn't seem fair.

This is a stalkers dream.

Is there anything I can do?

No name, no state please

  • If the laws of your state permit the deposition, then he can depose you. You may wish to discuss with your lawyer where the deposition will occur. I've known judges, for example, who allow certain depositions to take place in their jury room (when no trial is occurring) so that they can respond quickly to any inappropriate conduct. A courthouse is also likely to have more security than a lawyer's office or a court reporter's office.

  • Thank you.
    One last question.
    His lawyer charges $200 an hour.
    I was told the deposition can last anywhere from 4-6 hours.

    Wouldn't the lawyer be paid his hourly wage, or is it usually a package type fee.

    Thanks again

  • So, a couple of thousand?
    I'm paying my lawyer (an advocate for violence of women)
    $250.00 for the day.
    Surely, he will be paying lots more, correct?

  • There may be an initial fee based upon the duration of the deposition. There will be a fee for the preparation and reproduction of any transcripts that are ordered.

  • I do not know his fee arrangement with his lawyer. That will be governed by their fee agreement.

  • It depends on the length of the transcript, but I would expect that he would be paying in the hundreds (depending upon the length of the deposition and whether he orders a transcript).

  • Just curious, how much is (obviously approximately) Is this costing the person?
    What does a deposition cost?

  • Forgot to mention that he's suing me for defamation and slander.
    He said that I slandered to him to the local police department, women's safe house, emergency services.

    Yes, a lawyer has taken his case.
