Attorneys understand the importance of a Day-in-the-Life video when it comes to proving damages incurred by their clients. They understand the dollars spent on the production of these programs are necessary to make a human connection between their client and the jury and they understand the importance of working with Litigation Videographers who are well versed in the process.

This creates added value.

In return, a PI attorney will hold his/her litigation videographer at a higher stature than the usual deposition videographer.

Let’s face it, deposition videographers are a dime a dozen. I mean no disrespect here, after all I am a deposition videographer as well.

Not All Videographers are Created Equal

Let’s look at it this way. Not all deposition videographers are created equal. That fact is well understood among our peers. The same holds true for litigation videographers who choose to provide Day-in-the-Life video services.

Just placing a camera in a person’s hand does not make them a Litigation Videographer, nor does placing a DITL job in the hands of a deposition videographer make him/her an expert in Day-in-the-Life video production.

Attorneys that specialize in castastrophic injuries know the importance of working with a video company capable of maximizing recovery for their clients. When an attorney or law firm finds a videographer who is trained in DITL production, he or she elevates that video professional to a level of respect not given to the usual deposition videographer.

Everything Changes

When this occurs everything changes.  The words you speak, the advice you give, the charges your invoices reflect are held proud by the attorneys with which you are working.  They see you much more like an asset than a liability.

Deposition videographers, for the most part, are considered low in stature by most in the legal industry. Even those at the bottom of the totem pole see us as second class. Of course, we know better.

However, once you have earned the respect of a world class personal injury lawyer that association begins a domino effect that reaches deep into your legal services market. In return, you share the ride of that attorney’s success.

However, that ride is not free. Respect is earned. Earning that respect takes knowledge, training, skill and the ability to work on a level higher up the ladder.
