I am very happy that I went with LA Century Law. I was referred to them by my spouse and they took great care of me as they did her. Thank you, Karla, Maria, and Attorney Ryan and any other staff that helped on my case.

When I contacted LA Century, requesting information to resolve the accident I had, I received warm attention, full of optimism and ways in which my car and I could be well, Karla, the person who assisted me, opened my case and today I can say thank you for the attention and excellent work.

I can't say enough great things about the legal services I received from Century law, firm. Karla, in particular, was an absolute standout. From the moment she took on my personal injury case, she guided me through the entire process with care, professionalism, and expertise. Her attention to detail and commitment to getting the best possible outcome for me was incredible. I truly appreciate all the hard work she put into my case and would highly recommend Karla and the firm to anyone in need of legal help.

Once a lawsuit is filed, each side will have an opportunity to conduct what is referred to as discovery. Discovery gives each side an opportunity to investigate the othersโ€™ claims and prepare for trial.

There is oral discovery and written discovery.

Written discovery consists of written questions that must be responded to in writing. Written discovery falls into three types of requests.

1) Request for Production of Documents

This form of discovery requires that a party produce documents relevant to their claim.

2) Interrogatories

This form of discovery consists of written questions relevant to the action.

3) Request for Admissions

This form of discovery requests that a party admit or deny certain questions.

There is also oral discovery. A common example of oral discovery is a deposition. A deposition is an examination of a party or person under oath. There will be a court reporter present to record the deposition. Some depositions are also filmed.ย  Similar to trial, an attorney is allowed to ask questions of this individual who is referred to as the deponent.

The deponentโ€™s attorney will be present and may object to the questions similarly to trial. The transcript of the deposition may be used at trial subject to certain limitations.
