FOR THE DEFENSE, SEASON 5 FINALE:
MARGOT MOSS (AND I) FOR MAYOR ANDREW GILLUM

Season 5 has been a blast. Thank you all so much for listening and for your supportive emails.  I really appreciate it.

The season finale is a special episode for me as I got to sit down with my partner Margot Moss and discuss a recent trial we finished a few months ago involving Mayor Andrew Gillum.  (Our team also included Katie Miller and Todd Yoder). You'll enjoy hearing Margot's passion for criminal defense and how she won this case in her opening statement. 

As always, you can catch this and other episodes on every podcast platform including Apple, Spotify and Google,  All other platforms can be accessed on this website

This season's Florida CLE code is listed at the end of this episode. If you're a Florida lawyer, you'll get 9.5 general credits, 2.5 ethics credits, and 1.5 technology credits.  Not bad for a free podcast.  All that I ask in return is that you spread the word, leave reviews, and subscribe.  It will take you 30 seconds. THANK YOU.

The podcast continues to make news. Most recently, the interview of John Lauro was discussed in the New York Times, and was previously cited in in the Wall Street Journal, Politico, Salon, CBS, and other outlets. If you missed it, you can check it out on audio and YouTube.

I also want to thank our other awesome guests this season:  Milton Hirsch, Todd Blanche, Gerry Lefcourt, Lisa Wayne, Matt Menchel, Barry Scheck, and Craig Albee.  Their trials and stories were inspiring. 

There are also a few Markus/Moss updates from the last few months while we're here:

 

  • We are currently fighting the government's efforts to freeze all of our client's assets pretrial.  Although its early, this ruling -- covered by the Miami Herald -- was favorable and is of interest.  The team includes Lauren Doyle.
  • One of our biggest wins this year was a decision from the government (memorialized in a letter) not to prosecute our client, the CEO of a publicly traded company after we made a number of presentations along with wonderful co-counsel.
  • The Firm and its lawyers continues to be recognized in Chambers and Best Lawyers.  Chambers named David a "Star Lawyer" and Best Lawyers awarded him "Lawyer of the Year."  Margot and Mona were recognized as well.


We love trials, criminal defense, and speaking to the lawyers. We hope you are enjoying this podcast as much as we are doing it. Please stay in touch with your suggestions and comments.  If you have a friend that would like to receive these updates, please have them sign up here.

Thank you! --David

    First off, I’m obsessed with your podcast. Secondly, I was worried that your most recent episode with Margot would be awkward and artificial. I was pleasantly surprised. Such a great episode, and it’s obvious why you two are such great trial partners.

    DOM, as much as I love your hosting (keep it up!), I think it would be great to hear Margot guest host an episode—especially with a powerhouse woman trial lawyer as the guest.

    Excellent podcast. I’ve listened to every episode, and some twice. Any suggestions for other similar podcasts?
