Every Deposition Starts Long Before the Witness Sits Down. That's Where You Come In.
Behind every deposition at Shegerian & Associates is a web of notices, subpoenas, schedules, vendors, and logistics that have to be airtight before a single question is asked. As our Deposition Clerk, you're the one who makes it all happen, quietly, precisely, and without fail.
We're California's premier plaintiff-side employment law firm, and we're looking for someone who understands that in litigation, the details aren't just important. They're everything.
