Legal Video of Wyoming records depositions in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(4) which governs the taking of videotaped depositions to be admitted in a court of law. 

Videotaped depositions solve many problems of including a witness's testimony at trial, including: 

*Inability of the witness to physically be present at trial, due to illness, hospitalization or other reasons. 
*Taking testimony of remote witnesses. 
*Cost of getting the witness to trial. 
*Pre-screening of the witness's suitability and credibility. 
*Cost of expert witness's time spent traveling to trial location. 
*Replay of witness's contradictory testimony during trial. 

Videotape is the best method to effectively present the visual and verbal communication cues of the witness. It is the best alternative to a live appearance of an unavailable key witness. 

We record depositions with proper lighting and backgrounds. Microphones are placed on the deponent, deposing attorney(s), opposing attorney(s) and videographer.

Videotaped depositions can be synchronized with the court reporter's written transcript. This provides a very useful tool for reviewing the deposition and trial presentation.

 Our depositions are recorded in professional Digital Video (DV) format, with year-month-date-day-hour-minute-seconds burned into the lower third of the image. 

Legal Video of Wyoming can provide duplicates of the original videotape on DVD, VHS videotape, MPEG-1, or synchronized video.

In addition, an audio recording is made for the convenience of the stenographic court reporter. 

Deposition videos are delivered with a Tape Log, Objections and Colloquy Log, and proper labeling and packaging. The Original videotape is delivered to the client with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
