Chevron Depo Report
So, I had the Chevron Depo today. It was just me, the court reporter, and one of the partners from Chevrons hired counsel named Troy Charpentier (of Keen Miller Law Firm). I was kinda flattered they didn't send a rookie lawyer. I repeated my objections and cited my privileges and that was it. We were all very polite. Took about 35 minutes. Really boring. I was so excited to finally go to a deposition. I thought it would be really really fascinating. But, it was pretty dull. Fortunately, Mr. Charpentier didn't have a mustache like El Paso's Corp's attorney. When El Paso's guy was questioning me on the stand, I was so distracted by the mustache, I couldn't concentrate on the subject matter. Mr Charpentier was wearing some spectacles and they had a kind of curvy design on the sides which did throw me off a little. Despite this distraction, I was able to concentrate for the most part. And, of course Mr. Charpentier gave me lots of legal advice and explained the law to me and how it works. That was great since I'm not a lawyer and really have no clue. It was nice for him to help me out with his legal services and explain what information I am required by law to give, etc. Classic.

Opposing counsel is always a good source of legal advice...
I wish you could have a really good depo: 6-7 hours, lots of lawyer trickeration, legal wrangling, yelling. Ah, that is a joy to behold. It is even better when you are the smartest guy in a room full of lawyers!
Haha...quality legal advice from opposing counsel. That is rich!
When you've got lemons, make lemonade.
