094: What Your Client Will Find on YouTube about Depo Prep (and Why it's Not Good)

Are you really prepared for that deposition, or are you falling into the trap of catchy YouTube tutorials and oversimplified online advice? Join me today as I navigate this treacherous landscape, discovering the dangerous pitfalls along the way. From the barrage of legal jargon to misinformation, these videos can lead you down a path of confusion, potentially harming your case. Using Texas law as an example, I call out the issues stemming from this online maelstrom of well-meaning but often misguided advice. But worry not, there is a better way!

Whether you're a budding lawyer or a seasoned veteran, you'll find valuable insights into crafting unique strategies that cater to your case's specifics.
