Has anyone dealt with combative opposing counsel during depositions. For instance, making baseless objections to everything? How do you handle it? Do you threaten to burst the depo?

Ignore them. That’s what I tell my associates to do. Those types of attorneys feed off being able to throw you off your game.

I agree with Attorney 1. If their objections seem really baseless, I will start asking them to state the basis for each objection on the record as well. That usually puts a stop to it.

If they’re just saying “objection” I let them. If they add anything I ask them to not make speaking objections. If they instruct their client not to answer I ask what the basis of their instruction is and say that is not a proper basis and I note my objection to that and reserve the right to file a Motion to reconvene this line of questioning at the cost of the opposing party.
