Recently described by the media as a "legendary New York criminal defense attorney," Jeffrey Lichtman has successfully handled criminal trials and appeals on some of the country's largest stages. His clients include those charged in the federal and state systems with white collar and non-white collar offenses. For over 30 years, Mr. Lichtman's practice style has been marked by exhaustive pretrial preparation and smothering pressure inside the courtroom. His cross-examinations, in fact, have been described in the media during the John Gotti, Jr. trial as a "relentless pounding" in which witnesses were "put through the blender and shredded." The Gotti trial ended with the dismissal of three murder conspiracy charges, an acquittal on a $25 million securities fraud charge, and a deadlocked jury on every remaining count. The media described the verdict as an "unbelievable courtroom upset" and Mr. Lichtman's work as "brilliant." In the recent high-profile Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman trial lasting 3 1/2 months, Mr. Lichtman's work was described by the media as "an astonishing performance" and "so wildly entertaining." Some of Mr. Lichtman's recent clients also include Assistant USC basketball coach Tony Bland, Emma Coronel, rappers Fat Joe and The Game, the alleged Boss of the Colombo Family Andrew Russo, Olympians, judges, doctors, lawyers, politicians, and countless others. Mr. Lichtman's appellate practice has also had great success, winning freedom for clients sentenced to lengthy prison terms. In September of 2010, he won the freedom for a client who had been convicted and sentenced to 27 years in prison for multiple counts of sexual assault of four victims. After his appeal to the NJ Appellate Division forced the trial court to grant a hearing on trial counsel's possible ineffectiveness, Mr. Lichtman's scathing examination of trial counsel was halted by the judge – who indicated she was prepared to vacate the conviction on the spot – and the client was released, never to return to prison again. A 1990 graduate of Duke University School of Law, Mr. Lichtman's office has begun representing individuals on Civil Rights/police misconduct issues as well as on sexual harassment and discrimination claims -- and in just a short time, Mr. Lichtman has garnered multiple millions of dollars of settlements for women sexually harassed in the workplace, and was selected as a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Mr. Lichtman has recently been profiled in New York Magazine, the New York Daily News, and in The New York Times as part of the "Public Lives" series. Mr. Lichtman can also be heard as a guest host on 710 WOR Radio (every Monday morning at 7:05 AM), WABC Talk Radio, Fox News Radio, and AM 970 The Answer in New York City.

I Hate Trump but Trump Got Screwed / Joe Biden is Appeasing Hamas Supporters For Votes — Can This Guy Ruin America Even More? / Update on Assisting Suicide Case / Two Musical Interludes: Velvet Underground & Big Star
In this podcast, Jeff admits that although he is not a Trump fan, it’s simply impossible to ignore the fact that the criminal and civil trials brought against him were done so to prevent his election. None of these cases were serious enough that they needed to be brought. But they were and it wouldn’t be so painful if his opponent was even remotely competent. But Joe Biden has opened the floodgates to millions of illegals including criminals, terrorists and spies — and now we will all pay. Biden’s foreign policy decisions regarding Israel are now wholly impacted by Hamas supporters in Michigan, a state he feels he can’t afford to lose. So while dozens of Americans were killed and kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, Biden is hell-bent on saving Hamas in order to gain the Muslim terror vote. Claiming that Hamas doesn’t speak for the Palestinian people is also an easily-proven lie.Two musical interludes today: Lou Reed/The Velvet Underground and Big Star. Two hugely important bands that were ahead of their time. Jeff describes his dinner with Lou Reed as the time of his life. Using the urinal next to Big Star’s Alex Chilton was also a fine moment.And lastly, Jeff provides a huge update on his Assisting Suicide case in upstate New York.

Judge Kaplan Hates Dumb, Unprepared Lawyers It Seems / Assisted Suicide Client Has High Stakes Bail Hearing / Dems’ Dual Election Strategies: Open Borders and Appeasing Muslim Terror Supporters
In this new podcast, Jeff describes two court appearances from this past week, one before Trump’s judge from his defamation case and the other the detention hearing for his assisted suicide-charged client; a loss would guarantee his elderly client dying in jail before he even gets to trial.Otherwise, Jeff points out the Democrats’ dual election strategies, present and future: altering foreign policy to appease Muslim terror supporters in swing states and keeping the borders open to ensure more future Democrat voters, regardless of the havoc each strategy will cause America.Finally, the second installment of the musical interlude is here and Jeff practically begs to get sued.

Another Trump Trial, Another Comically Bad Trump Lawyer, Another Trump Loss / Musical Interlude / Two New Cases: Assisted Suicide & Terrorists Made to Smell Bad
In this new podcast, Jeff patiently breaks down the disastrous handling of Trump’s latest trial: it couldn’t be more obvious that his lawyer had never tried a federal case before. What does that tell us about Trump’s judgment when he hires the dumbest lawyer in America? A music recommendation. Just listen to it, you’ll thank Jeff later. And some breaking news about two new cases Jeff was hired on: an assisted suicide case that may result in an 85-year-old doctor dying in prison; and Ivy League terrorists made to smell bad after calling for murder, genocide, and terrorism: they demand arrests.

Far Left Democrats Openly Support Iran Against America — Or Why I’ve Had Enough With Liberals / Saying That Claudine Gay Was a Victim of Racism Is Like Saying Hamas Are Freedom Fighters
In this new episode, Jeff explains how liberals have gone from goofy tree huggers to treasonous conspirators with America’s worst enemies. Now the Houthis, who brought slavery back to Yemen — among other charming progressive ideals — are the darlings of the far left. We must stop this idiocy before we surrender the country to these lunatics.Jeff also explains that former Harvard president Claudine Gay should be an embarrassment to the Black community, not a fraudulent victim of racism. Pervasive academic fraud and rampant anti-Semitism should quickly require a university president to resign.

Presidents of Ivy League Schools are Too Dumb to Hide Their Jew Hate: the Latest Hypocrisy When it Comes to Jews and Israel / Growing Up in the 70s Wasn’t a Piece of Cake
In this new podcast, Jeff details the massive global hypocrisy in the condemnation of Israel and the calls for a ceasefire in Gaza — as Hamas slaughters its own people and murders civilian hostages they took on Oct 7. The hypocrisy hit a crescendo last week as the presidents of Harvard, Penn, and MIT somehow couldn’t say that calling for the genocide of Jews is against their schools’ code of conduct. This level of idiocy isn’t surprising as each of the three schools is admitting inferior students and ensuring they graduate with A averages — churning out useless graduates. On a lighter note, Jeff details what life was like growing up in the 70s. Many parental beatings and the occasional mouth washed out with soap!

In this podcast, Jeff breaks down the utter insanity of Jew hate which has erupted globally as well as in NYC and throughout American college campuses. And he points out that now is the time to speak up. If you can’t open your mouth now, you may never get another chance. Some students are heeding the call and refusing to be silent. Some strong voices for justice are coming from the most shocking places.

A Ceasefire in Gaza Now Means Much More Death Later / Trump Won’t Be in Prison By Election Day / Memories of the Puerto Rican Day Parade: From a New Yorker
In this podcast, Jeff provides an update on the war between Israel and Palestinian terrorists: “humanitarian” terror supporters are rampaging all over America and Europe demanding a ceasefire — even as they call for the genocide of Jews. Has anyone noticed either the hypocrisy of the “protestors” or that somehow we allowed hundreds of thousands of Islamist maniacs into our country after 9/11?Donald Trump definitely will not be in prison by Election Day. No chance.And Jeff has very colorful memories of a Puerto Rican Day Parade he was caught in the middle of, and how he, a white lawyer from NJ, survived it.

The World Goes Islamist Apeshit: City After City Wants to Gas the Jews / A Study of the Useful Idiot / Trump’s Attorneys Plead Guilty in Georgia, Why It’s Not Fatal to Him
In this podcast, Jeff discusses the war in Gaza; the world suddenly has forgiven Hamas and wants Israel to make peace with crazed killer maniacs. The protests in cities worldwide and on American campuses make clear that gassing Jews is the main goal of Israel’s enemies.In non-jihadist news, three of Donald Trump’s lawyers pled guilty in his Georgia RICO case. Jeff explains why these relatively minor pleas combined with the lawyers’ previously very pro-Trump statements make it difficult to imagine then testifying against him at trial.

In this podcast, Jeff discusses the aftermath of last week’s Palestinian massacre in Israel — laid bare are two opposing sides in the battle for civilization: you’re either with Israel against the Islamic terror horde or you are with the terrorists. This is a battle between light and darkness, good and evil. There is no more grey area. Silence is complicity. Pick your side wisely.

Palestinian Terrorists Again Show the World Why They Are Today’s Nazis — What Israel Should Do Next
This weekend saw the worst terror attack ever against Israel by the Palestinian-elected government. Children, women, and the elderly were raped, tortured, kidnapped, and killed. Citizens of multiple countries including the US, Mexico, and Germany were victims. Yet there are no #bringbackourgirls signs being held up by a sad-faced Michelle Obama, and Democrats held rallies for the Palestinian terrorists. Israel goes it alone, again, against the world’s worst Muslim terrorists. Tune in to hear what they should do next.

Jeff also reveals that NYC Mayor Adams finally admits that the Biden administration’s open border policy has destroyed his city.

Many More Trump Indictments: He May Be Guilty of Some or All — But Should His Opponent Be Permitted to Defeat Him and 80 Million Americans Without Defeating Him at the Ballot Box? Why Is He Running When He Knows He Can’t Win?
In this hotly anticipated new podcast, Jeff finally gets off his ass and catches up on the new Trump Indictments. However, this podcast isn't an analysis of the evidence. Instead, the issues discussed include:Should the party in power get to eliminate its opponent without an election?Why would Trump insist upon running when he knows he can't win, and how his loss will ensure a liberal sweep of the Senate, House, and probably Supreme Court?As explained by Jeff, the answer can be found in pillow sales and weekly boob jobs: $$$.More episodes at https://BeyondTheLegalLimit.com.

The Baseball Card Show Got Me Thinking About Parenting / Hunter Biden Had a Bad Father / Now Trump is Stealing From His Supporters — and Nobody Cares
In this new podcast, Jeff talks about taking his sons to the National, the big baseball card show in Chicago, and reflects on how parenting impacts children. That segues into Hunter Biden’s latest debacle, his temporarily failed plea agreement. Somehow at age 53, Hunter is still a mess and has only his father to blame for setting a bad example.Donald Trump is spending all of his campaign donations on legal bills — and somehow his victims/supporters don’t mind footing the bill. Can he get any lower? Stay tuned.And as Jeff describes this year’s National card show, he feels less snarky as he sees the hint of interest in his sons.

Of Course It’s Hunter Biden’s Cocaine and a Bevy of Biden Lies / Pinpointing When Society Jumped the Shark and Why Do Lawyers Lie When They Know They’ll Get Caught?
In this episode, Jeff points out the obvious answer to the world’s most obvious whodunit: yes, it’s Hunter Biden’s cocaine and yes, this is like the tenth time he’s lied about his cocaine use. Why does the Biden administration have to lie to us? And why is a crackhead sex addict living in the White House?In other obvious news, Jeff points out when society fell apart: the advent of social media. Jeff aches for the old days when lawyers actually worked hard at their craft instead of lying about their accomplishments on the internet in order to fool their victims into hiring them.

Trump’s Florida Indictment: Incredibly His Lawyers are the Main Witnesses Against Him / An Ugly Case in the News and Why I’m Handling It
In this new podcast, Jeff breaks down Donald Trump’s Florida indictment for mishandling confidential documents and explains why his inability to hire competent professionals may cost him his freedom this time, instead of just constantly harming the country as it did during his single term in office. When his lawyers aren’t running to the press crying with their complaints, they’re creating the worst evidence against him. Such an incompetent handling of an investigation is truly unprecedented and in Trump’s case, unprecedented too. The gory details are all here, along with Joe Biden getting a pass from his latest idiocy, all because Trump is providing a wonderful distraction. In other news, Jeff’s Memorial Day weekend Night Court appearance is revealed to be a case all over the news last week, an incredibly ugly case that naturally has triggered an avalanche of hate mail. Jeff explains why he took the case and why he doesn’t care if it bothers you.

In this podcast, Jeff describes a rough Memorial Day weekend filled with prison visits and a midnight night court appearance – but still not as bad as those who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending our country. And Ron DeSantis has finally announced his candidacy for President only to be met with a whirlwind of madness from Donald Trump who took some time off from golfing to insult DeSantis.

Daniel Penny is Charged With Manslaughter, Even as His Fellow Passengers Thanked Him For His Heroism / Final Thoughts on the Trump Verdict: Obliteration and No Issues On Appeal
Jeff discusses the Daniel Penny/Jordan Neely subway murder case in further depth now that the Manhattan DA has charged Penny with manslaughter. Despite Neely’s family attorney claiming that the proper course of action in dealing with a raving, violent, deranged lunatic on the subway is to ask him “How can I help you? Let me meet your need,” the first rule of subway is: do not lock eyes with this person, do not try to engage him. Incredibly, Daniel Penny risked his life to protect his fellow passengers and the passengers thanked him afterward. Do you think a jury will convict Penny after hearing from the very people whose lives were threatened by Neely that day?And Donald Trump was quickly found liable at the end of his sex trial and yet Trump claims another “victory”: he’s just a sexual abuser and a liar, not a rapist. The pretzels Trump and his legal team turned themselves into in order to claim a win here are akin to his fantasy wins in the 2020 election, the 2022 midterm elections, and the civil trial his company lost last year: all Ls. While Trump was celebrating all of these wins, Ron DeSanctimonius was raising money for Daniel Penny.

The Jordan Neely Subway Killing – But Was a Crime Committed? / Ed Sheeran Copyright Case: Not Every Lawyer Knows the Rules of Evidence / The Trump Civil Case Was a Case I Thought Couldn’t Be Lost
In this new episode, Jeff breaks down what occurred on the subway as Jordan Neely was killed. Any way you look at it, no matter how emotionally invested you are in the case, the Marine who intervened when a violent, crazy homeless person began accosting passengers did not commit a crime. Jeff also looks at the Ed Sheeran copyright infringement case brought by the family of the “Let’s Get it On” writer. Not only do the two songs sound almost nothing alike, but somehow the plaintiff’s lawyer doesn’t know the Rules of Evidence. Naturally, the case ended in an epic disaster for the plaintiff. Finally, Jeff discusses the Trump civil rape trial, a case Jeff felt it was impossible for Trump to lose with almost no evidence and a wacky accuser. Unfortunately, the combination of Trump and a judge who is slapping around his lawyer is adding up to an impending loss.

A Case I Was Born to Defend: The Plot to Kidnap Iranian Dissident Masih Alinejad – The Sentencing and an Awkward Introduction / The Trump Indictment is Laughable – But He’s Still Not Winning in ‘24 / The Trans Community is Really Pissed
In this podcast, Jeff runs through the Trump indictment: in 33 years of practice in NYC he’s never seen such a dopey one. That being said, while he expects Trump’s popularity with his base to galvanize, Jeff predicts Trump’s chances of winning the next election to be zero, as he’s simply too toxic for independents. Finally, Jeff describes a case that he first saw in the press and hoped he would get – and did. The sentencing of the Iranian woman who unwittingly found herself in the middle of the plot to kidnap Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad occurred on April 7. Jeff pushed his way through a sea of Masih’s supporters and introduced himself to her, the purported victim of his client who was there to give a statement at sentencing. Jeff’s career has some interesting days, and this was one of them.

Just When It Appears Alvin Bragg’s Indictment Is on the Ropes — Donald Trump Saved Him With Threats / Uri Geller, Psychic Spoon Bender, and Me
An update on the impending Trump indictment: just as it seems political hack Manhattan DA Bragg is feeling the pressure for charging a former President with a minor misdemeanor case, Trump pulls a Trump and threatens Bragg and his fellow Americans with violence. Having clearly learned nothing from the fallout from January 6, Trump goes totally unhinged and reminds the country again why he will never get elected in 2024. On the legal side, Jeff remembers a long-repressed memory: a 1992 encounter with Uri Geller, world-famous magician, psychic and spoon bender. Naturally, Jeff said the wrong thing.

Trump to be Indicted — and This is Just Some of the Liberal Insanity of This Week / Cross Examination is Art: An Example from the Chapo Case
In this new podcast, Jeff discusses the craziness of the impending criminal indictment against Donald Trump brought by a woke DA — just the last of numerous bizarre decisions by leftists last week including San Francisco’s reparations fantasies, Stanford Law School’s inmates running the asylum, Secretary of Health claiming sex change surgery for children will soon be mainstreamed — and Democrats supporting Palestinian terrorists over Israel. Finally, Jeff reads a snippet of a cross examination from the Chapo case as an example of how to obliterate a witness’s credibility before the examination even begins.

John Fetterman’s Demise Was Obviously Predictable — How Far Have We Fallen to Let This Happen?
In this new podcast, Jeff has some ugly words for Gisele Fetterman, the wife of Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman. He barely survived a stroke last year and she pushed him to continue campaigning even as he was clearly badly damaged from the stroke. Now he’s a month into his 6 year term and is hospitalized for severe depression and the continued damage from his stroke — and Gisele will surely be tapped to fill his seat soon. Was his life so expendable for her ambition? Did the Democrats need to sacrifice this man’s life?

Very Risky Bet I Made Which Could Have Cost a Client Life in Prison / Palestinians Show How True to Life Fauda, the Best Show on TV, is / Tyre Nichols – Racist Murder or Just Awful Killer Cops? / George Santos Jumps the Shark with Hitler Praise
In this new episode, Jeff recalls a massive and risky bet he made in a corrupt cop’s case which could have resulted in a life sentence without parole – but a great idea helped tip the odds in his favor. Jeff also discusses the fantastic TV show, Fauda, and how last week’s events show how true to life it really is. Tyre Nichols was brutally murdered by five bad cops, but Jeff doesn’t see this as racism – or does he? Jeff also believes that George Santos should be kicked out of Congress or put in a cage, either one – and a simple minimal hurdle all candidates should be required to meet is not praising Hitler publicly. Finally, Jeff discusses the ridiculously onerous sentences some January 6 defendants are getting while two bomb-throwing lawyers received slaps on the wrists from a conservative New York judge.

Jeff describes his feelings for the Iranian terror regime over the following years and how, 43 years later, he had the opportunity to represent a defendant charged in a plot by the same Iranian regime to kidnap a critic in Brooklyn.

Trump Has Dinner With a Nazi and Somehow This Does Not Bother Everyone / A Star NY Doctor May Be Extradited to Japan — After Being Accused of Effectively Drawing With Chalk on a Building

Praising the Nazi? Refusing to apologize for dinner and the praise of the Nazi? Jeff endeavors to understand.Also in this episode, Jeff details an extradition hearing he has for a star New York OB-GYN who is accused in Japan of spraying oil on a religious shrine, a crime that if charged in NY would result in a dismissal after one court appearance. Our government is fighting to send him back to Japan and end his career — despite his cutting edge treatment for endometriosis which has saved so many women all over the world.

The only job on the planet in which you don’t need to stay home on disability after a devastating stroke apparently is United States Senator.

In this new podcast, Jeff lays out in painstaking detail Joe Biden’s awful week in which he seemingly cannot tell the truth — yet a review of his history finds this is not a recent phenomenon. John Fetterman is running for the Senate in Pennsylvania and can’t seem to think or speak clearly due to a stroke, yet he’s somehow leading in the polls. Is this what we’ve come to? And an update on our favorite terrorists, those lovable Palestinians, who proudly describe Russia as a country “which stands by justice and international law” even as they invaded and slaughtered their neighbor.

Eric Adams Stopped Partying Long Enough to Declare State of Emergency / A Gay Palestinian Has His Head Cut Off on Video — and the American Liberal Press Ignores It / A Hells Angel Refuses to Go To Prison — My Work Kept Him Out: How I Did It (Intro)
In this new podcast, Jeff discusses a case from over 10 years ago: a Hells Angel charged with a violent federal extortion on tape — and he refused a plea unless he could be guaranteed no prison. With his back against the wall, Jeff figured his way out of it. Also in this episode, Jeff notes that NYC Mayor Eric Adams stepped out of da club long enough to declare a State of Emergency as NY is overrun by migrants. Suddenly Adams doesn’t seem to enjoy them as much as he did when they were overrunning Texas. With midterm elections upon us, will the nation continue voting for people who gave us open borders, increased crime, record inflation and high gas prices? Finally, a Palestinian had his head cut off solely because he was gay — and the liberal press ignored it. Why it’s hard to hate Jews and support homophobic terrorists simultaneously when you’re a leftist.

The Craziest Case I Ever Had / Mayor Adams and His Brand / Kamala Harris Wants Federal Hurricane Aid to Go To Blacks First / Jeff Bezos is Laughing His Ass Off
In this latest episode, Jeff describes perhaps the craziest case he ever had: a conman, career criminal kept cooperating with the government and getting reduced sentences, even as the bodies piled up. Finally, the government’s attempts to hide his past ended with a single mother getting a bullet to her head in Staten Island. Jeff also reports that NYC Mayor Eric Adams is insane — he thinks his dying city has a brand, and takes a dump on Kansas. Kamala Harris has spent a career putting Blacks in jail, yet now she thinks it’s okay to give federal Florida hurricane relief to Blacks first because “equity.” Finally, Jeff gently points out that Amazon’s Jeff Bezos’ remarried ex-wife is getting divorced — and he has got to be laughing his ass off.

Stacey Abrams Thinks the Ultrasound Was Created to Enslave Women / We Gave the Red Carpet Treatment to the Butcher of Tehran / The Craziest Case I Ever Had (Intro)
In this new podcast, Jeff tries to figure out what Stacey Abrams was thinking when she publicly stated that fetal heartbeats heard on ultrasound tests are a fraud, designed solely by men to control women. But this isn’t her first bonkers opinion. Jeff also discusses the hijab protests in Iran and the red carpet treatment the Butcher of Tehran, aka President of Tehran received upon arrival in NY for UN week — despite his hefty body count and attempts to kill American politicians and citizens. Finally, Jeff provides an introduction to the wackiest trial he’s ever been a part of which included a defendant punching his lawyer in the face in front of the jury, another defendant faking a heart attack mid-trial, and a defense lawyer nearly causing a mistrial from his doodling in front or the jury.

2 Million Illegals Later, Liberals Decide The Border is a Problem — After 50 Are Sent to White Heaven, aka Martha’s Vineyard / Rapper Kay Flock’s Case Update — We’re Getting Closer
In this new episode, Jeff discusses what finally took the Democrats to acknowledge our open southern border and immigration problems caused by 2 million crossings into America in one year: a plane of 50 Black and Brown migrants flown into lily-white Martha’s Vineyard. Now that this resort's rich, white Democrat residents have climbed down from their chairs, perhaps a real discussion on immigration can be had. And Jeff provides an update on the rapper Kay Flock’s murder case: the prosecutor informed the judge of an online threat to her life made in Kay Flock’s name — just at the moment she’s required to rule on a motion to prevent the defense from receiving the names of the witnesses in the case — due to the purported dangerousness of the defendant and those around him.

You’ve Heard of Felix Sater? Wait Until You Hear About Gene Klotsman and “Money Marvin” / Joe Biden’s Philly Speech Called for Civil War
This episode explains how to destroy the credibility of a government witness while also destroying their lives – and helping your client avoid conviction! These are the stories of Gene “Lowlife” Klotsman (Trump associate Felix Sater’s partner) and Marvin “Money Marvin” Dodson who had the misfortune of cooperating against two of Jeff’s clients decades ago. In this episode, Jeff explains the upside of having a manically motivated attorney on your side.Finally, Jeff notes that Joe Biden’s speech at Independence Hall basically called for a Civil War – and why that might not be in the best interests of liberals.Don't miss an episode: Visit https://beyondthelegallimit.com/subscribe/ to get episodes sent directly to your inbox each week.

A Wild Mafia Story About Vinnie Gorgeous, Which I Had Somehow Forgotten / College Loan Forgiveness Is Actually Racist / Another Trump Own Goal on the Mar-a-Lago Search
In this new episode, Jeff was reminded by a listener of a wild 2005 story involving Bonanno Family Boss Vinnie Basciano which resulted in the Feds charging Basciano with extorting Jeff — without ever contacting him for a statement or interview. You can guess what happened to that charge. Jeff also discusses the ridiculousness of the student loan forgiveness program which only serves to transfer more wealth to white college grads than we’ve spent on 20 years of welfare and heating oil for truly needy families. Finally, Trump’s Mar-a-Lago search disaster seems caused solely by his refusal to simply return classified documents. Combined with his longtime CFO pleading guilty and prepared to cooperate against him, are you tired of Trump yet? It might be time for a candidate who doesn’t make your stomach churn.

Salman Rushdie Brutally Stabbed Due to Iranian Fatwa / More Thoughts on the Mar-a-Lago Raid / When I Nearly Represented Jeffrey Epstein
In this episode, Jeff recalls when he met with Jeffrey Epstein — just after the Chapo trial — to possibly take over his defense. Much as he did with Harvey Weinstein, he hit it off with Epstein. Jeff also shares more thoughts on the Mar-a-Lago raid as well as the brutal stabbing of novelist Salman Rushdie due to the bounty Iran put on his head — not to be confused with last week’s attempts by Iran to kill John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and an Iranian dissident living in Brooklyn. Why are we not bombing Iran yet?

Breaking: The Raid on Mar-a-Lago
This special, mid-week podcast is two NYC radio interviews Jeff did about the execution of a search warrant at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. The first interview occurred right after the FBI search was revealed and was heard on the WABC radio show The Other Side of Midnight with Frank Morano; the following interview was Tuesday morning on WOR’s Len Berman and Michael Riedel In The Morning. The interviews are filled with emotion, anger, and shock that such a thing could occur in America today.

When I Almost Represented Harvey Weinstein / 9/11 Mastermind Killed, 20 Years Too Late / Palestinians Kill Their Own Children — the World Yawns
In this episode, Jeff recalls when he met with Harvey Weinstein — during the Chapo trial — to possibly take over his defense. It was a much softer Harvey Weinstein that Jeff encountered. The droning of the 9/11 mastermind is discussed, but it doesn’t move Jeff very much as it’s 20 years late. And didn’t the Taliban promise Biden that they’d stop harboring terrorists? Finally, another war in Israel and the Palestinians are killing their own children — and neither they nor the world seems to care.

Representing Tony Bland, USC College Basketball Coach, in Bribery Scandal — a Ridiculous Prosecution / Joe Biden Lies and Lies About Our Recession and Just One Demographic, Suburban Women, Believe the BS — Why?
In this new episode, Jeff details his painful representation of a client he really liked: USC basketball coach Tony Bland who had his life nearly destroyed over a bribe amounting to $4100. The ridiculous notion that the Feds were going to cure college basketball’s ills is exposed, and the government’s greatest aspirations ended with a big fat thud: unless you credit taking down a handful of Black assistant coaches while covering for their white bosses whose conduct was infinitely worse. Jeff also discusses Joe Biden’s lies about the definition of “recession” and delves into the one demographic that seemingly cannot be convinced that Biden’s presidency has been a disaster: the suburban woman.

In this episode, Jeff recalls some personal Ivana Trump memories, as well as much more serious stuff: the passing of the legendary trial attorney, Jerry Shargel, who was the smartest lawyer Jeff ever knew. The case of the NY bodega clerk who killed his attacker is also discussed, along with his self-defense claims: this is a case no competent defense attorney could lose. Finally, Jeff notes the downside of woke policies as a trans woman is placed in a female prison in NJ and promptly knocks up two inmates — then insists on continuing being housed with women.Contact Jeff at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/contact/.Subscribe to get episodes in your inbox at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/subscribe/.

In this episode, Jeff recalls his very first client — the infamous professional wrestler, the Ultimate Warrior. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll want to hear more about this decades-long relationship. Jeff also discusses the insanity of Hunter Biden being front and center at a major White House press event on the very day video comes out of him smoking crack in an isolation tank while purportedly detoxing from, you guessed it, crack. Finally, Jeff explains why Democrats hate Saudi Arabia so much and hate Joe Biden for traveling there: it’s the Juice, once again.Contact Jeff at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/contact/.Subscribe to get episodes in your inbox at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/subscribe/.

In this Independence Day podcast, Jeff rips apart NY Governor Kathy Hochul’s new gun laws which are unworkable and designed solely to prevent the implementation of the Supreme Court’s decision on carry permits in New York. America’s airports are not functioning, supply chain issues haven’t been fixed, gas is through the roof — but our Transportation Secretary is gay and that’s all that Biden cares about.

The Supreme Court Blows the Collective Mind of the Left: First Firearm Carry Permits, Next Abortion / Meeting Chupeta in a Prison in Brazil – and Then Seeing Him 11 Years Later in Court
In this podcast, Jeff discusses the recent Supreme Court decisions regarding abortion and gun carry permits. The left is melting down although Jeff isn’t sure both opinions are great ideas: will women who live in states that outlaw abortion be prosecuted if they get abortions in other states? And Jeff describes his trip to Brazil in 2007 to meet the infamous, Juan Carlos Ramirez, also known as “Chupeta”, a leader of Colombia’s notorious North Valley Carte, in a Supermax prison cell – and what ultimately led him to turn the case away, only to see him 11 years later inside a federal courtroom in Brooklyn.Contact Jeff at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/contact/.Subscribe to get episodes in your inbox at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/subscribe/.

In this new episode, Jeff discusses the awful saga of prosecutorial misconduct that was the Khari Noerdlinger case in Bergen County, New Jersey. Described as the worst misconduct he has ever seen in his career, the case started with an arrest for manslaughter and ended with a dismissal and humiliation for the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office – if only it was capable of being humiliated. In this episode, Jeff also talks about the seemingly out of nowhere, bizarre trend of having drag queens of all people in schools reading to little children. Finally, there is a discussion of the awful prosecution and murder of gays throughout the Middle East and the one place which accepts them.Contact Jeff at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/contact/.Subscribe to get episodes in your inbox at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/subscribe/.

Inigo Philbrick’s Sentencing / Why Does Professional Sports Love China but Hate Saudi Arabia? / Jack Del Rio Should Learn to Shutup – Free Speech Doesn’t Exist in America in the NFL / Firebombing NYC Lawyers Get Nearly a Free Pass for Domestic Terrorism
In this episode, Jeff’s Covid nearly chokes him to death but he manages to acknowledge that he’s over trips to Disney World – and a run-in with two orange cream Dole Whips might have been the catalyst. What went into the sentencing strategy for art dealer Inigo Philbrick is discussed at length. For some reason, the leftist institution of professional sports loves China and hates Saudi Arabia, much like how Democrats love Iran and hates its enemies. The PGA and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio of the Washington Redskins, we mean Commanders, and his monumental gaffe of daring to criticize the George Floyd riots publicly are gone into in great length. And in a bizarre twist, two leftist lawyers who firebombed the NYPD are permitted to withdraw their guilty pleas and plead to much lesser charges, paving the way for a slap on the wrist.Contact Jeff at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/contact/.Subscribe to get episodes in your inbox at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/subscribe/.

Client High on Drugs Killed Passenger in Crash / Shortage of Baby Formula is Treated as a Joke by the Administration / Death of a Terror Network Reporter Again Displays a Horrible Double Standard
In this new episode, Jeff reveals an ugly case wherein a client charged with driving under the influence of prescription pills got into an accident and killed his passenger. The previous lawyer took a very passive stance which garnered only a 5-year plea offer; when Jeff got involved he depicted the defendant as a victim of an unscrupulous doctor whose actions led the client to get addicted to Oxycodone. The result was a 4-month sentence, a big jump down from 5 years. The latest incompetence from the Biden Administration – the lack of available baby formula – is discussed. And finally, yet another double standard is applied in the Middle East involving the death of an Al Jazeera reporter caught in a crossfire: the world must stop demonizing Israel even for things it didn’t do, while dozens of reporters are killed during fighting in the Ukraine, and no one notices or cares.Contact Jeff at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/contact/.Subscribe to get episodes in your inbox at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/subscribe/.

Alleged Boss of the Colombo Family Dies But Only After I Won Him Bail — and Denied the Feds Their Ghoulish Prize / Muslim Terrorists Appeased, Disaster Follows / Biden’s New Press Secretary / Roe v. Wade’s Reversal
In this latest podcast, Jeff describes the lengths needed to recently get alleged Colombo Crime Family Boss Andrew Russo released on bail, even though everyone could clearly see he was suffering from significant dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The government simply would not give in, despite Russo being handcuffed by his ankles to a bed 24 hours a day in custody. The government relied on the nearly universal history of alleged mob bosses being denied bail – until this bail argument in October of 2021. Jeff also discusses again the result of treating Muslim terrorists with the racism of low expectations – by presuming this is all they’ll ever be and not doing enough to stop them, Palestinians again committed a terror attack, this time on Israeli Independence Day, leaving three men dead and 16 children without fathers. On a similar note, the new presidential press secretary’s main qualifications are that she’s gay and Black and hates Israel; that she also has a massive conflict of interest doesn’t seem to matter to anyone. And finally, the seeming reversal of Roe v. Wade will surely end with stuff burning down. After all, isn’t that what you do when you’re “peacefully protesting”?Contact Jeff at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/contact/.Subscribe to get episodes in your inbox at https://beyondthelegallimit.com/subscribe/.

Looking for a break from a conservative Black judge is usually a long shot in such scenarios and Jeff explains why. Then, Jeff shares some entertaining stories about some of his past associates in his law firm. Later, he discusses the absurdity of the accusations against baseball player Trevor Bauer and how the MLB (a social justice organization) has handled it.

In this special holiday episode, Jeff reveals that he is the attorney for the winning bidder of the Tom Brady Final Touchdown Pass Football – that wasn’t when Brady un-retired the next day. Jeff discusses how it went down and ultimately how the auction house agreed to void the sale as the winning bidder would have otherwise received a ball that wasn’t as advertised. This sports collectible debacle kicks off a discussion of Jeff’s history of collecting baseball cards as a small boy through the present, where he not only collects them – but is involved in numerous hobby litigations and criminal investigations for his clients and has learned that wherever there is money to be made, even in a kid’s hobby, fraud will follow.For more on the show and to get new episodes sent directly to your inbox, visit https://beyondthelegallimit.com/.

In this episode, Jeff discusses his mentor Jerry Shargel and the stress from the job – and how a spontaneous sense of humor can fix a lot of problems when in front of a jury. On a completely unrelated note, the newly installed designated hitter rule for the National League is driving Jeff bonkers. Jeff also discusses the changes in the FBI, which have caused them to focus all time and resources on angry January 6 hillbillies, even as Iranian and Pakistani spies have infiltrated the Secret Service – and the White House. MAGA endorses Dr. Oz, the most far left, gun-grabbing, trans-surgery for kids supporting Republican candidate ever? And finally, China, the creator and disseminator of Covid, has lost its collective communist mind while locking down Hong Kong: no one can leave their apartments, food is gone, and pets are being killed.

In this latest episode, Jeff discusses some crazy stories of prosecutorial misconduct he’s witnessed over the years in cases in NYC, including the Chapo Guzman, Jimmy Henchman, and John Gotti, Jr. trials, and tells about the time a creepy prosecutor-turned bad fiction writer wired up one of his clients in an effort to entrap him. Trans exhaustion has been reached and Jeff will tell you why. Title 42 is explained and why the Biden administration is ending it, which will cause a flood of illegal immigrants into America that we can not even remotely deal with.

Covid Ruins a Disney Trip / Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is a Defense Lawyer at Heart and No One Can Deal With It / Justice Clarence Thomas’ Wife Needs to Be Dressed Down / The NYC Voice Coach Pusher Defendant Has a Lawyer Problem
In this episode, Jeff reveals how Covid destroyed his Disney trip and how remaking the trip plus Duke’s run to the Final Four left him with no sleep last night. Scooters, 90 minute wait times in the hot sun: Disney has it all. On Supreme Court issues, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is a former Public Defender and for some reason Republicans expect her to be tough on crime. As for Justice Thomas’ wife, she’s a crazy conspiracy theorist and is harming her husband – and the Republican Party. The elderly NYC voice coach who was pushed to her death resulted in manslaughter charges against a young woman. Her lawyer in one press conference attempted to ignite a race war, misstate the NY Manslaughter law and make his client appear even more of a lunatic than she may already be – but his silk pocket square matched his tie, his hat, coat, vest and pocket watch looked great while he did it. Finally, Jeff notes how utterly disastrous President Biden’s Europe trip was last week where he made one gaffe after another nearly started WW3.

In this episode, Jeff discusses the manslaughter trial for an abortion doctor, which grabbed national headlines, and the miraculous ending which saved the client from a decade or more in prison. In the current events portion, Russia is now killing Americans in the Ukraine and President Biden is still doing nothing about it. Similarly, Iran is now attacking American forces with missiles, and instead of responding, Biden pretends it didn’t happen, just to ensure that Iran won’t abandon the very horrible nukes deal we’re begging them to accept. Finally, Jeff ends the debate on any similarity between Palestine and the Ukraine – they couldn’t be more diametrically opposed.

In the State of the Union Speech, Covid Seemed to Vanish – if Just for a Night | America and Its Allies Pay Russia to Destroy the Ukraine | The Iran Deal Is Dumber Than Anyone Could Imagine | When I Tried to Get a Baseball Signed by Chapo Guzman
In this episode, Jeff discusses the absolute hypocrisy of Joe Biden coming to the State of the Union speech without a mask on – along with hundreds of other Democrats, when Covid seemed to have vanished, if even just for a night. Equally incoherent is the strategy of sanctioning Russia for its invasion of the Ukraine while also buying its oil, not to be confused with the even more incoherent strategy of relying on Russia to help us work out a horrible nukes deal with Iran, Russia’s ally, even as Russia threatens to nuke us. Finally, Jeff reveals a previously unheard story of when he tried to get Chapo Guzman to sign a baseball for him. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t as easy as it seems. A fruit-flavored Mentos candy acted as the trial balloon.

Today's episode addresses the elephant in the room, the thing that everyone has seen in the news, and that's the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Ukraine is being destroyed, civilians are being killed in significant numbers, and our country is no longer one that wishes to win wars and do the ugly things that are needed to protect us. In the legal portion of the episode, Jeff discusses the fascinating case of one of the world's biggest bank fraudsters, John Ruffo, whom Jeff represented. Jeff shares how he achieved a great result for Ruffo with a much shorter sentence than anticipated. Then, when Ruffo was supposed to turn himself in to the designated federal prison in New Jersey, Jeff received a phone call that he didn't report. He vanished. Since then, John Ruffo has been a most wanted fugitive for the past 23 years.
