You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

A deposition can be scheduled at any time. Usually an attorney will work with you to reschedule the depostion if the date is inconvenient. If you fail to attend, the attorney will have to go to court and explain what happened. Usually the court will order that the deposition be reset on a date certain and if you fail to attend, then you may be held in contempt of court. It is usually easier for the attorney to just reset the deposition for a mutually convenient date and time.
