Now, let's dive into chapter one of The Next Conversation. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it and reading it. Chapter 1. Never Win an Argument I don't trust you as far as I can throw you, he bellowed. In all honesty, it was a compliment. He could have thrown me pretty far.

In his tan coveralls with a white oval patch that had Lepre embroidered in black in the upper left pocket, Bobby Lepre glared at me with enough heat to burn a hole through my suit jacket. Now, generally, I don't know what someone looks like before I meet them at their deposition. And whatever I picture Bobby LaPre looking like, it wasn't this.

Sitting at the conference room table, waiting for people to arrive, I looked up to see a half-human, half-giant. His outline took up the whole doorway. Naturally, I stood up and walked over to him to shake his hand and introduce myself. Jefferson Fisher, I said with a smile. Bobby, he muttered. Now, I'm not a small guy. I'm over six feet tall, but I barely came up to Bobby LaPre's chest.

He was an absolute mountain. As we shook hands, the squeeze from his ginormous, callous hands left an imprint in mine like a scene from a Tom and Jerry cartoon. I'd never been around someone so physically intimidating. The case involved a bar fight, and I was representing a bystander who had gotten caught up in the scuffle.

As part of the case, I needed to depose Bobby LaPre, a witness to the events. In a deposition, I get the chance to ask people questions under oath, typically to learn what they know before they testify at trial. Clockwise around the antique conference room table sat the court reporter writing everything down, Bobby LaPre, the opposing attorney, and me.

After asking Bobby to raise his right hand and placing him under oath, the court reporter gave me her customary nod for me to begin. I asked Bobby LaPre routine questions about his background and what had led up to the fight. They were easy, open-ended questions like, what time did you arrive? Who did you talk to first? Did you see so-and-so or do this and that?

It's common to use such questions to build a chronology of the events from a witness's particular point of view. At all times, I made sure I was kind and polite. 90% because that's my personality. And I'd be lying if it wasn't 10% out of just sheer self-preservation. He was not someone I wanted to upset.
