Huseby Remote Depositions
Reliable deposition solutions are important to you, and we are working around the clock to provide you with the deposition tools you need to keep your cases moving seamlessly. We asked clients across the country, "what is most important to you to have a seamless remote deposition experience?"
We listened - and we put your feedback into action. Along with a seamless user experience, enjoy convenience and flexibility, allowing you and your witnesses to participate from anywhere, saving time and resources.
Convenience and Flexibility:
- Remote depositions eliminate the need for travel, saving time and reducing logistical complexities.
- Participants can join from various locations, making scheduling easier and accommodating busy schedules.
- This flexibility allows for smoother coordination among parties and reduces scheduling conflicts.
- The remote platform is compatible with virtually any device: laptops, desktops, tablets, smartphones.
Digital Exhibit Management:
- Digital exhibit management allows for easy sharing and organization of documents.
- Allow witness to take control over an exhibit on the screen and to scroll through pages to review, or to add markups.
Increased Comfort for Witnesses:
- Depositions can be stressful for witnesses, and allowing someone to provide testimony virtually can ease their worry.
Reduced Travel and Commuting:
- Remote depositions allow everyone involved to save time that would otherwise be spent commuting to a deposition location.
Focus on Testimony:
- With the focus on the testimony itself, remote depositions can be more efficient and less distracting than in-person depositions.
Live Support:
- You can rest easy knowing you have the peace of mind of live support. Our professional technicians are there to help you from start to finish the day of your remote deposition.

Top 10 Remote Deposition Best Practices
Checking Your Equipment in Advance
1) Ensure you have an internet connection.
2) Test your computer to make sure all apps are up-to-date and your internet bandwidth is sufficient for video and exhibit presentation.
3) Send a test link to the deponent so they can check their system.
Joining Your Web Conference
4) Connect a few minutes early to allow time for setup of your screen view, attend to any additional exhibit uploads/organization, or to ask any questions to the Huseby support team.
5) Check your audio.
6) Find the mute icon, so you can know how to mute your audio if needed.
7) Adjust your webcam so others can see you.
Keep in Mind
8) Introduce yourself at arrival so the court reporter has an accurate record for the appearance page.
9) Try not to talk over one another. Set ground rules at the beginning of the deposition and ask the deponent to allow you to finish asking questions before answering and you will provide them the same courtesy to finish answering before asking another question.
10) Follow the same flow you would normally have in an in-person deposition.
