How to Use Hedging Language in Depositions Without Sounding Evasive

Question: "You were talking about wiggle room and using hedging language to give yourself an out later — how do you do that without sounding evasive?"

Dr. John Lundell shares a simple but important technique for expert witnesses: how to leave yourself a little wiggle room in deposition testimony without coming across as cagey or evasive. The key is keeping it natural and conversational — a casual "nothing I can think of right now" lands very differently than an overly lawyered non-answer. Overdo the hedging and you'll lose credibility fast. Keep it light and it barely registers. A quick but useful clip for any expert witness trying to balance precision with flexibility in their testimony.
