In this episode, host Jeffrey and Brett sit down with the inimitable Joel Hirschhorn, a true titan of criminal defense. With more than five decades of courtroom experience, Joel has built a reputation as a relentless advocate and a straight shooter with almost 400 jury trials, defending clients in high-stakes criminal matters in almost every District and State in the country.
This wide-ranging conversation covers:
- Joel’s reflections on the art of trial law and the evolution of the American justice system;
- War stories from inside the courtroom;
- His unfiltered take on what makes a great lawyer (and what doesn’t); and
- The ethical compass that has guided him through it all.
Whether you’re a young lawyer looking for direction or a seasoned practitioner revisiting your “why,” this episode is a masterclass in courage, clarity, and conviction.
