Author Information

Edwin H. Sinclair, Jr. has been a successful attorney and real estate investor for the past several decades. His other most recent books include: Publish & Perish: How Not to Write a Book. First book horror stories and how to avoid them; Success & How to Get It: A comprehensive Guide to Personal & Business Behavior for everyone on the success track and Buying Foreclosures, a very popular book since the sub-prime mortgage crisis. After talking to numerous former clients and associates who have been deposed and taken deposition, Sinclair has designed this book to answer the commonly-asked questions about how a person should properly conduct oneself when being deposed. Lawyers are always fearful of how their clients or witnesses might affect the case they are being deposed about, and much time is usually spent in preparing them to be questioned - but there is never enough time to cover everything as thoroughly as desired, and this book is the perfect fill-in for that extra bit of information, and a good refresher for the basics. Information about Sinclair's other successful books can be seen on the publisher's website at www.magiclamppress.com
