I've just been called for a deposition on an FCE I did 14 months ago. My employer has scheduled it but wants to know if there is usually a charge for this.

Yes, expert witness testimony in any thing other than an informal telephone conversation should be charged as a expert fee.

The range of amounts to charge vary depending on how you see yourself in the context of the testimony. Some will charge their typical 1/4 hour fee. Some will charge a rate closer to what an attorney or other
expert witness-level professional would charge.

It is important to consider charging for preparation time and for portal-to-portal travel time.

I hope that this answers your question.
