With nearly all of my depositions taking place remotely, having a secure and easy-to-use platform to conduct my depositions is of the utmost importance to me, my team, and most importantly, my clients. U.S. Legal Support’s new deposition platform, RemoteDepo Pro™, is innovative and provides everything I need in one succinct application: the ability to upload exhibits prior to or during a deposition, annotation tools, breakout rooms, and even a live feed of the questions and testimony in real time while the deposition is taking place. This makes it easy for me to follow the questions and testimony as they are spoken, instantly play back any audio, if necessary, and flag portions of the transcript for later review and trial preparation. Having used other remote deposition solutions, I am continually impressed with the advanced tools that are only available on RemoteDepo Pro.

RemoteDepo Pro™ from U.S. Legal Support is as good as it gets for remote proceedings. With RemoteDepo Pro, everything I need is in one seamless, easy-to-use platform, and I am in complete control of the proceeding, and my witness, from start to finish. Since it’s built for depositions, the features I need are readily available. Exhibit sharing, marking, and annotation is built into the platform with greater functionality than other remote meeting platforms. It’s an advantage to have the ability to direct witnesses to a specific page of a document and allow them to review the entire document on their own. One of my favorite features is ViewScript, the live speech-to-text feed of the testimony. With it, I no longer need to take notes and can focus more on my questioning because it’s all right in front me to see, or even play back during the proceeding. The post proceeding review within the platform is also very helpful and effective for deposition preparation. I’m able to review the video recording along with the speech-to-text feed whenever needed. For longer depositions, I can do a keyword search to quickly find important testimony. I also appreciate how intuitive the platform is. After a short demo, I didn’t need any formal training to use it effectively. RemoteDepo Pro™ is the most efficient way I’ve seen it done, and it makes me look good in front of my colleagues and clients.

Remote Deposition Resources
The adoption of remote deposition formats has resulted in benefits for litigators and other parties involved in litigation. With tools and functionality that mirror in-person proceedings, remote depositions allow everyone to participate in the deposition remotely as if they were in the same room. Remote depositions became the tool of choice for litigators during the coronavirus pandemic and have become an integral part of the deposition landscape moving forward, thanks in part to the flexibility and cost savings afforded by the remote format. Here are some of the growing benefits that remote depositions offer both attorneys and clients:
- Maximize efficiency for all parties by facilitating or taking depositions from your home or office
- Easy, flexible virtual deposition scheduling with nationwide coverage
- Reduced travel time and expense for attorneys and clients
- Robust security including encrypted communications
Remote Deposition Checklist
A Few Days Prior to the Remote Deposition:
- If using RemoteDepo Pro™ for the first time, create your account in order to access full platform functionality both during and after your proceeding
- Test equipment and connection at least 24 hours before the virtual deposition
- Make sure you have a webcam-equipped computer/device and a strong Internet connection
- We also recommend testing your audio to identify which option provides optimal audio quality
Day of the Remote Video Deposition
- Find a distraction-free space and connect to the platform at your remote location at least 15 minutes before the live virtual deposition begins
- Make sure exhibits are accessible electronically on your device
Other Considerations
- Communicate additional proceeding requirements with U.S. Legal Support when scheduling your deposition. For example, will you require a Legal Videographer or Interpreter?
