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.

    Musical Evolution Leads to a Disgusting Story or Two / Devo & The Rolling Stones / Joe Biden is Openly Helping Hamas Just To Win the Terrorist Vote in Michigan

    Musical Evolution Leads to a Disgusting Story or Two / Devo & The Rolling Stones / Joe Biden is Openly Helping Hamas Just To Win the Terrorist Vote in Michigan

    Jeff explains how he discovered the band Devo — and led him to rediscover the Rolling Stones. All of this sets the stage for some disgusting stories about peanut brittle and school stairwells.

    In other news, Joe Biden is terrified of losing the Muslim terror vote in Michigan. So what if these voters openly support Hamas and claim the October 7 massacre in Israel was an inside job? Joe Biden needs these votes so our allies need to die for them. In short: Donald Trump is an idiot but you’d be a bigger idiot to vote for Joe Biden.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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!
