  • A Deposition Queen’s Tips for Overcoming Fear and Standing Tall During Litigation
    Jan 23 2025
    Most of us aren’t born with a powerful courtroom presence and a reputation for extracting crucial information in tense depositions. But we can learn. Guest Tara-Jane Flynn has been called a “Princess Warrior” and “The Deposition Queen” for her tough, compelling courtroom manner. But the veteran California personal injury litigator says she started out as a shy girl too overwhelmed to give a classroom speech in school. She taught herself to be strong and to be the strength her clients need. She got involved in theater and public speaking. She guest hosted podcasts. And she developed a strong social media presence. You can, too. In this episode, you’ll hear valuable tips for winning depositions, learning how to leverage social media, and being the lawyer your client needs to believe in from a Los Angeles attorney at home battling for 8-figure verdicts. Get ready to be inspired. Questions or ideas about solo and small practices? Drop us a line at NewSolo@legaltalknetwork.com Topics: Overcoming shyness to become a force of nature in the courtroom doesn’t always come naturally.

Find an attorney with a social media presence you admire and do what they do. How’s that for easy? Really. Extracting valuable evidence in a deposition can feel intimidating, but there are things you can do.
