Video Depositions

Video depositions are used to discover information relevant to litigation, and to preserve testimony / preserve live evidence for use at trial.  Deposition testimony is crucial when determining who knew what and when.  Because of their incredible value and utility, video depositions are quickly becoming the rule rather than the exception.

The use of video allows you and your jury to see the witness' demeanor and body language and hear their tone of voice in addition to reading their transcript.  At times, the witness' reactions to specific questions can be far more compelling than the actual answers given.  Studies have shown the majority of communication (between 60 and 70%) happens non-verbally so video is crucial to getting the whole picture of what the witness really means to say.  Video depositions capture every nuance and non-verbal cue and make for compelling and engaging trial evidence.  A high quality legal video deposition has impact on a jury and witness' testimony at deposition is exactly the same as testifying in a court room before the jury.

Depositions are one-shot deals: they are critical events which can't be redone.  Tri State Video Service recognizes the two key factors needed to guarantee the quality and value of your video deposition.  The witness must be seen, clearly and without distraction, and the lawyers and the witness must be heard clearly, without distortion.   That's why we use videographers with over 20 years of experience behind the camera.
