If after your deposition is taken, the other attorney believes your story and believes that your testimony will be compelling to a judge or jury, he or she will likely tell the Defendant that the settlement offer should be increased. Furthermore, if the Defendant says anything damaging or does not come across trustworthy, his or her attorney will also encourage settlement.
