What they do require, however, is your testimony, attention, and honesty.

The request to appear or to attend a deposition hearing is intended to help each side get a clear understanding of the facts. It is also a legal process that requires those who are subpoenaed to give testimony under oath. That also means that it is important to pay attention to the questions in order to give clear testimony and to answer honestly. For those who may have nerves about these types of legal proceedings, there really isn’t much to worry about if you tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, as the saying goes. Best of luck at the hearing, and don’t worry, it isn’t as intimidating as it sounds.
