What is a deposition and do I have to give one?

A deposition is sworn out-of-court testimony taken by the opposing attorney during the discovery phase of your lawsuit. In Georgia, if you are a party to a lawsuit or a material witness, you are generally required to appear and testify when properly noticed under O.C.G.A. § 9-11-30. Refusing to appear can result in sanctions or contempt. Your HBLG attorney will be present throughout to protect your rights, object to improper questions, and ensure your testimony is as powerful as possible.
