Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

Re: Federal Procedure

The better question is what are your options.

The other side in the suit can't hire you. The assumption is that you would have been privy to confidential information and it would be improper for them to suggest retaining you.

As to whether or not you can be deposed by the other side, leave that to the judge. If the situation arises, consult a lawyer of your own. I expect that he or she will advise you to give testimony only within the bounds of the protective order that the opposing side is sure to request.

Next time, remember to get enough money up front to cover your commitment to the case. That way, even if you have to withdraw, you will be compensated for your time.
