What happens when a man who speaks out against an authoritarian regime becomes a global target—and can justice reach across borders when governments are involved? In this gripping episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, host Gregg Goldfarb sits down with attorney Dylan Barkett, who represents the family of Jamshid "Jimmy" Sharmahd in a groundbreaking lawsuit against the nation of Iran. What begins as a story of political activism quickly unfolds into a chilling international saga involving an assassination attempt in California, a shocking abduction, torture, and a death allegedly orchestrated by a foreign regime. Jimmy Sharmahd was an outspoken advocate for a free Iran. After surviving a targeted hit in Los Angeles, he was later kidnapped abroad and ultimately killed. His family is now fighting back—using the American legal system to seek accountability from a foreign government. Dylan Barkett takes listeners behind the scenes of what it means to pursue justice in cases involving state-sponsored violence, global politics, and unimaginable personal loss. This episode goes beyond legal theory. It's about courage, family, resilience, and the question of whether justice is possible when power operates on an international scale. What to expect in this episode: How Jimmy Sharmahd's activism made him a target of the Iranian regime The details of the assassination attempt in California (and how he narrowly survived) The shocking kidnapping and death that followed, and the evidence connecting it to Iran How families can use U.S. courts to pursue accountability against foreign governments What justice looks like when the defendant is an unresponsive nation-state The emotional toll on families fighting for recognition and truth Why symbolic court victories can still matter on the global stage   Stay tuned for more updates, and don't miss our next deep dive on Cut to the Chase: Podcast with Gregg Goldfarb!   Subscribe, rate, review, and share this episode of the Cut to the Chase: Podcast!   Resources: Barket Lawyers: https://www.barketlawyers.com  Connect with Barket Lawyers on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/barketlawyers    This episode was produced and brought to you by Reignite Media.

When you hire a marketing agency for your law firm, how do you know you're going to get real results? In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, host Gregg Goldfarb is joined by Florida patent attorney and author John Rizvi, widely known as The Patent Professor™ and The Law Firm Growth Professor™, to uncover the dirty secrets of legal marketing. From misleading metrics to branding mistakes that quietly drain budgets, John shares what most marketing agencies won't tell you. Starting with nothing more than a cell phone and a laptop in a spare bedroom, John built his intellectual property practice into an eight-figure firm with 60 employees. How? By cracking the code on branding, storytelling, and measurable marketing. In this candid conversation, John shares insights from his new book, "Dirty Secrets Marketing Agencies Use to Rip Lawyers Off". He explains why memorability beats logos, how niche branding actually works, and why "going viral" can be both a blessing and a trap. This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to stand out in a crowded market, avoid costly marketing missteps, and build a brand that actually sticks. What to expect in this episode: Why most firms struggle with marketing (and where they go wrong) The branding strategy behind "The Patent Professor" and why names matter more than logos How split-testing and niche branding drive real client recall The risks and rewards of viral content and creative marketing Why authenticity and vulnerability outperform polished perfection The "dirty secrets" marketing agencies use, including vanity metrics and churn How to measure marketing success in dollars (not likes or views) The truth about AI in marketing and what it can (and can't) realistically do If you've ever questioned whether your marketing dollars are actually working, or wondered how some brands become unforgettable while others fade into the noise, this episode is for you!   Stay tuned for more updates, and don't miss our next deep dive on Cut to the Chase: Podcast with Gregg Goldfarb!   Subscribe, rate, review, and share this episode of the Cut to the Chase: Podcast!   Resources: Watch John rap live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkRLck8QrIw&feature=youtu.be  Watch John's music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA2j5zsrKRI John Rizvi's Books: https://johnrizvi.com/#books  Listen to The Law Firm Growth Professor Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-law-firm-growth-professor-podcast/id1802916747  Get a FREE COPY of "If You Brand It, They Will Come" by John Rizvi: https://www.thelawfirmgrowthprofessor.com/john-rizvi---free-copy-of-book  The Patent Professor: https://thepatentprofessor.com  The Law Firm Growth Professor: https://www.thelawfirmgrowthprofessor.com  Connect with John Rizvi on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/floridapatentattorney    This episode was produced and brought to you by Reignite Media.

Ever wonder why Staten Island feels disconnected from the rest of New York City? The answer goes far deeper than geography… and it starts with transportation decisions made generations ago. In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, host Gregg Goldfarb is joined by historian and CUNY professor Kenneth Gold (aka Dr. Forgotten Borough) to explain why Staten Island never became part of New York City's subway system and how that absence continues to shape the borough's identity, politics, and daily life. From missed early opportunities and the rise of car culture to the realities of ferries and express buses, Ken explains how Staten Island became New York City's most isolated borough. The conversation also turns to the present, examining NYC's new congestion pricing plan and how it's already changing traffic patterns, commuter behavior, and the city's transportation future. This episode blends urban history with modern policy, revealing how infrastructure decisions ripple across decades–and why transportation remains one of the most powerful forces shaping New York City.

When prosecutorial appointments go wrong, grand juries malfunction, and politics seep into criminal law, the consequences can ripple far beyond a single case. In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, host Gregg Goldfarb is joined by investigative legal reporter Shane McKeen to unpack the legal chaos surrounding high-profile prosecutions tied to the Trump DOJ era. Part 3 of this conversation dives into the unraveling cases connected to James Comey and Letitia James, examining grand jury irregularities, unconstitutional prosecutor appointments, and allegations of selective and vindictive prosecution. From botched DOJ tactics to politically charged public statements, Shane breaks down how procedural missteps may have fatally compromised cases before they ever reached trial. For lawyers, prosecutors, and anyone watching the justice system under a microscope, this conversation reveals how fragile legitimacy becomes when the legal process collides with political ambition—and why fixing these errors may be harder than exposing them. What to expect in this episode: How improperly appointed prosecutors can invalidate grand jury proceedings from the start Why the cases involving James Comey and Letitia James began to collapse under legal scrutiny The fallout from the unlawful appointment of Lindsay Halligan and its ripple effects How statutes of limitations may permanently block certain prosecutions from moving forward Why Letitia James's case raises serious questions about proportionality and federal priorities The role public statements and political pressure play in claims of selective prosecution Whether the DOJ can realistically revive cases without exposing deeper institutional failures   Stay tuned for more updates, and don't miss our next deep dive on Cut to the Chase: Podcast with Gregg Goldfarb!   Subscribe, rate, review, and share this episode of the Cut to the Chase: Podcast!   Resources: Visit Adam Klasfeld's website: https://www.adamklasfeld.com Subscribe to All Rise News: https://www.allrisenews.com   This episode was produced and brought to you by Reignite Media.

Did you know that JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank settled lawsuits tied to the Epstein case—one for hundreds of millions of dollars—after victim-survivors exposed embarrassing emails and transactions?  And despite a million dollars in DOJ overtime, the "first batch" release of Epstein files was simply a repackaging of old documents handed to influencers, not journalists. But that is just the beginning. Today, the legal world—and really, society at large—is abuzz with talk of the unsealed Epstein files, financial institution accountability, and the relentless search for truth. As law firms and attorneys are increasingly called upon to sift through layers of redacted documents and shifting legislation, this episode of Cut to the Chase Podcast zeroes in on what real transparency could mean for the legal industry, corporate oversight, and survivors' rights. This week on the Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Adam Clasfield, investigative journalist and legal-political reporting veteran, joins host Greg Goldfarb. Known for covering the Southern District of New York and being present the day Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, Adam Clasfield brings unmatched insight into what Congress, courts, and victims' lawyers are actually uncovering. Get ready for an unvarnished look at the money trail, why survivors and Congress push for more transparency, what hasn't been released, and what law firms must keep their eyes on as the case evolves. On Part 1 of this series, Gregg and Adam discuss: - The disappointing "big reveal": why the recent batch of Epstein files was a dud for transparency - Why the money trail—financial institutions' role—matters more than leaked emails - Senator Ron Wyden's push to release suspicious activity reports from Treasury and FinCEN - How lawsuits against JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, and others could drive major reforms - The problem of "whack-a-mole" financial regulation: banks vs crypto - The elusive "smoking gun": what's truly left unreleased, and why lawyers should care - The intersection of sex abuse, institutional accountability, and federal resources - DOJ's million-dollar overtime spend—and concerns about diversion and coverup - Predictions on clemency, Congressional interest in interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell, and the unknown unknowns ahead Key Actionable Takeaways for Law Firms: - Anticipate future reforms: Watch for Congressional and regulatory pushes that could change - banking oversight and legal compliance in the wake of settlements. - Follow the money: In high-profile cases, financial documentation and suspicious activity reports may be more revealing—and actionable—than emails. - Prepare for survivor-driven litigation: Victims' attorneys won't stop; expect more suits demanding transparency, accountability, and financial institution responsibility. - Demand robust internal investigations: Advise clients, especially financial institutions, to audit and strengthen oversight to avoid being the weak link in the chain of abuse. - Monitor DOJ and regulatory trends: Keep tabs on resource allocation, legislative changes (like the Transparency Act), and federal court developments for proactive legal strategy. Don't miss this episode if you want to understand the legal landscape shaping the future of transparency, accountability, and survivor advocacy—or if you just want to know, once and for all, what's really hidden in the Epstein files.

Ken brings decades of experience working inside the Texas bail system, both in the courtroom and at the legislative level. Listen in as he untangles the high-profile cases driving reform, the push to address inequities, and the unintended consequences many communities are now facing—like increased failures to appear, mental health challenges, and organized crime exploiting reform gaps. This is a grounded, fact-based conversation that cuts through the noise and addresses the real question at the heart of the debate: How do we balance fairness with accountability?   What to expect in this episode: A clear explanation of what bail is actually meant to do How the Texas bail system differs from other states The lawsuit currently reshaping bail law in Texas Why some "no cash bail" policies are backfiring—and where they may be working The role of mental health and repeat offenders in the bail conversation How organized crime and policy gaps intersect more than people realize Ken's proposals for reform that preserve both equity and public safety What law firms and justice advocates should prepare for as reform evolves Whether you believe bail reform is long overdue—or worry it's gone too far—this episode gives you the context, history, and real-world stories needed to understand what's actually at stake.   Stay tuned for more updates, and don't miss our next deep dive on Cut to the Chase: Podcast with Gregg Goldfarb!   Subscribe, rate, review, and share this episode of the Cut to the Chase: Podcast!   Resources: Visit Ken's website: https://www.thegoodlawfirm.net  Listen to The Bail Post podcast: https://www.thebailpost.com  Connect with Ken Good on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-w-good-a789a43a  Professional Bondsmen of Texas: https://pbtx.com    This episode was produced and brought to you by Reignite Media.

The Boy Scouts of America bankruptcy case, involving tens of thousands of survivors of childhood sexual abuse, is among the largest and most contentious mass tort proceedings in U.S. history.
