In brief
A Trial Readiness Review is an independent assessment of an attorney’s trial theory, evidence, witnesses, and preparation. Florida Trial Counsel tests each against what the court and jury will require and returns a ranked list of what to address next.
Use it before a consequential motion, a settlement decision, or the final stretch before trial.
