It is not required that you have a lawyer for a deposition. There is probably going to be attorneys for both sides present. If there is any question about your part in the subject being discussed, you may want to consult an attorney to insure you aren't putting yourself in trouble. Normally there shouldn't be a problem, particularly if you are just a witness.

Do you have to give deposition at defendants lawyer's after filing civil claim suit?
Yes, if that lawyer is the one demanding the deposition. The place of the deposition is at the choice of the lawyer calling for it. In practice though, the place of the deposition is usually a matter of custom in that particular legal community. In NJ, a defendant's lawyer will customarily schedule the plaintiff's dep at the plaintiff's lawyer's office and vice versa. This is out of courtesy between lawyers. Nothing prevents a defendant's lawyer from insisting the dep take place at his own office; however if he does not observe the usual courtesies, he should not expect to get the courtesies that he just denied the other lawyer back.

What is a Depositions Lawyer?
A depositions lawyer is a lawyer who specializes in depositions. They have an understanding of what information should be contained in a deposition in order to win a court case for their plaintiff or defendant. They also understand everything that needs to take place in order for the deposition to be used legally in a court of law. A deposition is when a witness makes an oral statement outside of court. The statement is then written or typed so that it can be used as evidence in a court of law. In some territories of the United States, a deposition may also be considered an examination before trial. The federal courts and most US states use the term deposition because their are some circumstances in which a deposition may be made during a trial. As an example, if the plaintiff is dying from a terminal illness, this may be necessary in order for the trial to move forward. The individual who gives the deposition is referred to as the deponent. If the deponent is represented by a different lawyer, they must be present, or at least notified. If the deponent is a third party to the offense in question, than a subpoena is required in order to question them if they are reluctant to testify. To ensure that the information is accurate, a court reporter must be present to transcribe the deposition. In some cases, a video or audio recording may also be used. Usually, the deposition takes place at the court reporter's office or the depositions lawyer's office, but it can also occur at the witness's home as well. Before the deposition begins, the witness takes the same oath that they would take in a court of law. Everything that is said during the deposition is then recorded verbatim by the court reporter in the same way that it would be recorded in court. A direct examination is performed first. This is when the attorney who has requested the deposition begins examining the witness. Afterward, any other lawyers present may cross-examine the witness. The original attorney can follow this up with more questions, known as a re-direct. The second attorney may then follow this up again, known as a re-cross. During the deposition, one lawyer may object to a question asked by the other lawyer. This may be done to assert a privilege or to ask the lawyer to rephrase the question.
