Megan Melo, MD (Family Medicine)
"This course was fantastic. Before it, I had no exposure to depositions. After completing it, I now feel confident, prepared, and professional. Dr. Lundell’s teaching style is grounded, clear, and easy to return to whenever I need a refresher. I would recommend this wonderful course to any medical expert who wants to feel calm and credible in depositions."
Sergio Murillo, MD (Anesthesiology)
"The modules were clear, logical, and engaging. I would recommend this course to any expert witness—whether they’ve never been deposed or have gone through it but didn’t feel comfortable or confident. Before the course, I felt intimidated. After completing it, I realized my fear came from not being familiar with the process. I now feel ready."

The High Stakes of Depositions
Every deposition is a turning point.
The Risk: Go in unprepared, and you risk rattled testimony, credibility challenges, and fewer opportunities to be retained again. Even strong medical experts can stumble when faced with trick questions and pressure tactics.
The Reward: When handled well, a single deposition can generate $3,000–$10,000+ in fees (for physician experts) and set you apart as a trusted, credible expert attorneys want to hire again and again.
That’s why we created Deposition Mastery, to help both new and experienced experts:
✓ Recognize and avoid traps
✓ Stay calm and confident under scrutiny
✓ Turn depositions into opportunities to build your reputation and your income
Don’t just survive the hot seat... own it.
