Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
rights at deposition
In pro per what if i feel defense attorney's conduct at first deposition was not for fact finding but more to intimidate and repetitively ask same questions which were asked and answered ? What can I do if I don't want to attend a second deposition without getting sanctioned ? What basic rights and what kind of questions or documents can I refuse to answer or provide ? It's a sexual harassment/wrongful term case. also defendant stole some personal pictures when he and another employee were in my home and now claims i gave to him! What recourse do I have? 1000 thanks for ANY suggestions

I strogly urge you to hire a lawyer to take your case on contingency. Feel free to contact if you have any other questions-Martin
Re: rights at deposition
First, what second deposition? Each side gets ONLY ONE deposition, that's it. You should not attend the second, and if he insists, you file a motion asking for sanctions against him. Then you file a complaint with the State Bar of California (213)765-1000, reporting him for intentional abuse of discovery process, harassment by way of illegal discovery as well as unethical practices.
Second, you start making phone calls to attorneys who do this kind of law and get yourself a legal representation.
Third, if you're near LA, e-mail me a description of your case, please make it concise, and I will post it on CAALA bulletin board for our members to see. Perhaps we can get you a qualified attorney on a contingent fee basis. You may also call me (323)782-0099 if you need assistance.
Good luck.
