If it is only a Notice of Deposition, you should call to reschedule it. If you do not show, the lawyer could make a motion to hold you in contempt of court (at the worst). If it is pursuant to a court order or discovery deadlines, depending on the court, it may be harsh on you. I suggest you call for an adjournment before the lawyer has to pay for the court reporter and the like.
