About Bryon
Biography
Florida Trial Counsel provides on-demand trial counsel and co-counsel support to lawyers and law firms throughout Florida.
I have more than 15 years of litigation and trial experience in Florida state and federal courts and more than 160 trials to verdict. My public-sector career included service as an Assistant State Attorney in Florida’s Fifth Judicial Circuit and Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, as well as service as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Middle District of Florida.
That work included case assessment, motion practice, witness and expert preparation, evidentiary issues, jury selection, direct and cross-examination, trial strategy, courtroom presentation, post-trial proceedings, and preservation of issues for appellate review.
From 2012 through 2015, I also served as an adjunct instructor at the College of Central Florida Criminal Justice Institute. Florida Trial Counsel now provides experienced trial resources to lawyers who need additional preparation, bandwidth, shared responsibility, or lead-trial support while preserving the originating firm’s client relationship.
