Problems with videotaping depositions:  Until recently, the main reason I could offer for not videotaping depositions was the additional cost it imposed upon the client.  Now I have become aware of at least one reputable deposition provider which includes, at no extra charge, full videotaping.  Therefore, the only negative I can suggest occurs when you are considering videotaping your own client’s deposition due to health concerns or other considerations.  You have to consider the effect of telling your client that you want to videotape his or her deposition.  Clients may react in a strong and negative manner to the suggestion.
