Monroe County Courthouse, Key West, Florida
See Federal Courthouse


The red brick Monroe County Courthouse, built in a traditional county courthouse style, was completed in 1890. Its 100 foot clock tower is an architectural feature that can be observed from almost any part of Key West. In the early days of Key West, auctions for cargoes of wrecked ships were held on the Courthouse steps.


Make the Most of Your Witnesses
A wise person once said, "you never get a second chance to make a good first impression". Fact finder impressions of witnesses are often the key to the outcome of a case. Make sure your witnesses present a positive impression by retaining the experts at Magnus for witness evaluation and preparation. Techniques include:

  • mock direct and cross examination
  • critiques of witness presentations: appearance, language, demeanor, "attitude"
  • witness effectiveness training: individual, workshops
  • seminars on presentation styles/skills

You cannot change the facts, but you can change how your witnesses present them. Call Magnus to discuss how we can help enhance the impressions your witnesses make in deposition and trial.
