This week Jeff opens with the long-awaited Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear infrastructure, a dazzling military operation years in the making. But instead of support for Israel, Jeff is stunned by the response: hatred not only from the far left but now pouring out of MAGA's biggest names. Yes, the Trump-right has joined Hamas and the progressive left in their obsessive Jew hatred, and Jeff is seething.Trump, meanwhile, couldn't resist taking credit for the Israeli success after the fact, even though he reportedly tried to block the strike for months. And if he actually helped, why didn't he greenlight American B-52s to finish the job on the underground nuke sites? Why is he trying to make a huge deal when the world's biggest sponsor of terror is on its knees?Also this week: a tale of how a young lawyer buying his first suits comes full circle 30 years later, this time as a man paying cash with 44 tailored suits under his belt. Plus, Jeff faces a federal judge he went to college with and admits, despite all of his own accomplishments, the judge is the better man.As always, Jeff pulls no punches. Not for MAGA. Not for Trump. Not for the far left. And certainly not for anyone siding with the world's worst terror regime.

A lot is going on in the world, and within our country, that's unsettling (to say the least). Some of this is even impacting lawyers and law firms. Before going any further, the answer to your question is… Yes, I'm going “there”. But note: it's probably not quite what you think. We keep saying we need better political leaders. But what if our political leaders aren't the real problem? And what if we attorneys could be a guiding force for much-needed change? I believe we not only can be, but should be a guiding force. Because we lawyers have a responsibility - not just to speak up but to hold ourselves to higher standards and walk the talk.

Let's talk about law firm politics—The unspoken stuff that affects your compensation, your promotions, and your power inside the firm. Truth: learning how to navigate certain sticky, political situations is a necessity if you want to move up. But that doesn't mean you must sell your soul to "play the game", either. Listen to today's Life & Law Podcast episode to learn how to effectively advocate for yourself (while playing the so-called "political game") with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

A warning before making a lateral partner move: Most law firms are better at selling the dream than they are at delivering it. That isn't because they're misrepresenting anything, but more about the fact that most lawyers and law firms aren't great at: - Setting clear expectations, - Identifying whether an attorney is truly a fit, or - Running worst-case scenarios (that could upend the best of plans). That doesn't mean you can't make a lateral move! On the contrary, it can be one of the best decisions for you and your law practice. But before making a lateral move, listen to today's podcast to learn everything you'll want to ask, consider, and analyze. Because the last thing you want is to trade one set of untenable problems for another set (that could be even worse).

In this episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo chats with attorney Maxwell McGhee to unpack this provocative question: Who are the “Medicaid Millionaires”?

Jack and Maxwell challenge the morality and legality of these tactics, exploring how the system gets gamed and what reforms could level the playing field. It's a sharp, eye-opening conversation about law, ethics, and the surprising ways wealth and welfare can intersect.   Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️

Do you know why people buy any product or service (including your legal services)? Psychology. We narrow down, make initial gut decisions and convince ourselves through emotions. Feelings (not rational thinking). Yes, we use rational decision-making later in the game - but that comes last. This is why it's important to understand the psychology of sales. Join me to learn about 3 sales psychology principles, and how to utilize them in your marketing, networking, and selling of legal services (ethically and effectively). This is not about manipulation. It's about meeting people where they are. The post Episode #199: The Psychology of Sales: What Lawyers Need To Know appeared first on Life & Law Podcast.

When will President Trump open the gates of hell he promised? Jeff provides a quick plan to fix the terrorist threat from Gaza.

In this new episode of Beyond the Legal Limit, Jeff unwinds all things Luigi: from the arrest to the initial state charges, to the upgraded First Degree Murder charge, to the shocking federal charges. Included is Jeff's insight on why everything seemed to change in the prosecution — the impact of the massive pro-Luigi public groundswell is the culprit. In other news, Jeff describes a trip to Florida for a plea on a multi-million dollar fraud case which incredibly ended with no conviction for his young client, and why a generous act a few days prior may have caused this result. Lastly, NYC Mayor Adams' big mouthed top aide gets indicted and she still can't stop talking to the press. An update to an earlier podcast lays all the stupidity out. In short, Jeff called this one early.

Jeffrey Lichtman dives into the art of trial summation, sharing how a line from a 1977 Robbie Benson film unexpectedly found its way into the John Gotti, Jr. summation. Bottom line: the more that's in your brain, the more that can come out — and help you —  at unexpected times.Next, Jeff unpacks the bail denial of Sean "Diddy" Combs, highlighting the challenges of defending a high-profile client when the media circus and public perception play a heavier role than the facts of the case.
