Description
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.

In this podcast, Jeff discusses the Iranian missile attack on Israel which could have led to thousands of deaths if not for the skill of the Israelis and the incompetence of Iran. Regardless, a new status quo must be set: any Iranian terror proxy attack on Israel needs to be met with an attack on Iranian soil. Furthermore, the celebrations by the “ceasefire now crowd” as Iran was raining missiles down on Israel reveals the obvious: it was never about a wish for peace with the calls for ceasefire; it was always about saving Hamas to kill again. On a different note, Jeff compares two of the greatest rock bands of all time: The Who and Led Zeppelin. Despite The Who’s massive catalogue of hits, they lack one volcanic element in their music which renders them in second place. Jeff reveals all, the dangers of looking for Satan in a backwards playing musical anthem, as well as only the second song that brings him to tears.
In this April Fool’s Day podcast, Jeff reminisces about simpler times and lemonade stands, a time before the internet and cell phones — and how kids used to learn about new music. Jeff opines on the over the top searches of Sean Combs’ two homes as he reveals he’s been hired to represent P. Diddy’s son. The government rarely fights fair when they have a major target in its sights. Jeff discusses how two top American universities handled their Muslim terror students in diametrically opposite ways: depending on whether the schools want to protect the students or the terrorists. As parents, the choice is obvious where to send your kids.Why do white supremacists conspire with Middle Eastern terrorists? A tale as old as time (or at least back to Nazi Germany). Finally, Jeff ends the podcast with a bang: he reveals the greatest rock album of all time. You can write to Jeff at https://BeyondTheLegalLimit.com/contact.
Jeff dives into the almost comedic legal saga of Michael Cohen, Trump’s former fixer, and his quest to end his federal supervised release early. Despite the steep odds, Cohen found a lawyer dumber than him and hilarity ensues.Jeff’s week also ran the gamut from representing Chapo’s son in Chicago on Monday to being on the business end of an emotional meltdown from opposing counsel during a deposition on Friday.Switching gears, Jeff riffs on the raw, rebellious roots of punk rock, spotlighting The Clash as the epitome of the genre's defiance and the personal resonance it holds for him. Some fantastic music finds its way into this episode — including the song he plays in his ears as all his trials are about to begin.The conversation takes a serious turn as Jeff tackles the recent violent breach at the Texas border by migrants, signaling the Biden administration’s surrender of the border solely for political gains. In short, our country has been sold out.Finally, Jeff notes the expected abandonment of Israel by the Democrats. Iran is watching and the implications to our national security will be huge. For all these reasons, a change has to come in November — or else.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Maybe it’s time for you to wake up as well?Subscribe on our website to get episodes sent directly to your email inbox on Monday mornings: https://BeyondTheLegalLimit.com/subscribe
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.
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.
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.
In this new episode of Beyond the Legal Limit, Jeff explains the only issue that matters in the next election, which affects all the other issues: the invasion at our border. When even the liberal mayor and governor of NYC and NYS agree, it’s time to wake up before it’s too late. Jeff also discusses his client Ovidio Guzman’s extradition to the U.S. and what comes next. Finally, Jeff reveals the origin of his germ phobia, which began with a tub of tuna fish and continues every time he orders a 12-inch sub at Subway.Get episodes sent directly to your inbox.
This episode explains Jeff’s strategy behind achieving practically three no-jail federal sentencings in eight days — on cases totaling $11 million in fraud. Jeff also reveals that NYC Mayor Adams finally admits that the Biden administration’s open border policy has destroyed his city. MAGA is mad at Jeff — the voicemail one of them left is priceless — and the Proud Boys actually think Trump will save them. Finally, Trump’s brainless mouthpiece strikes again.Receive episodes directly to your inbox.
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.
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.
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. Jeff finds some whopper lies online and they’re too close to home.Write to Jeff at https://BeyondTheLegalLimit.com/contact.
In this podcast, Jeff announces he can’t bear to spend another minute discussing the stupidity of Trump and his lawyers or the crimes gotten away with by Hunter and Joe Biden. Instead, he wants to discuss his first love: his 53-year love affair with baseball card collecting and what it teaches us about life.Write to Jeff and subscribe to get new episodes sent to your inbox at https://BeyondTheLegalLimit.com.

Another very interesting episode. I agree with you about Fauda. The show does an amazing job of depicting the awful toll their job takes on the unit members and their loved ones. I have a much better understanding of the situation Israel faces and what the region is like physically from watching this show. I think I was holding my breath from the beginning to the end of each episode. I've been recommending it to everyone I know. I admire your ability to come right out and say what a lot of us think but don't feel comfortable saying in today's screwed up society.
Hillary's emails... really
It is refreshing to listen to someone not afraid to state his opinions!
This show is full of unexpected information and strong “no nonsense” opinions with just enough fearless name calling truths to go around. He gets it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A pleasure to listen to
