Podcast
Lawyers Are Assholes
Hosted by Bret Adams · EN
This is where we call out incompetent and unscrupulous lawyers, prosecutors, and Judges. And we talk about a judicial system that may work for the players involved in the system but not for any of us as consumers.
Our format is that we first talk about the current assholes of the week and then we have a guest who has personally been abused by the system.
And we end the show with my rant talking about the issues presented by today's guest.

Encore Presentation: Prosecutorial Stupidity Impacting the Medical Profession
May 29, 202300:27:08Tap to summarizeEncore Presentation as I continue on the Appalachian Trail.In this episode I discuss the Dr. William Husel verdict. Dr. Husel was acquitted of 14 bogus murder charges while a nurse in Tennessee was charged and convicted for making a mistake. Prosecutors, like Judges, are not your friends when their personal interests trump basic humanity. Pathetic conduct for personal gain. Let’s hold them accountable.Copyright 2025 Bret Adams

Transcribe →Do Legal Ethics Exist at Any Level?
May 15, 202300:18:53Tap to summarizeToday we discuss the pathetic lack of legal ethics in our Nations highest Court and in the Ohio Supreme Court. As a member of the Ohio State Bar Association’s Ethics Committee for over 25 years, I feel I have the authority to opine on this issue and to ask how we as lawyers should conduct ourselves when Justices of the US and Ohio Supreme Court cannot police themselves. In this episode we bring to your attention the lack of professional integrity at the highest level.Copyright 2025 Bret Adams

Transcribe →I’M BACK!
Apr 10, 202300:29:39Tap to summarizeWith a season 2 preview teasing stories like Matt Moore, who lost his freedom, his home, and his reputation after being falsely accused of staging his wife’s suicide. How do we hold these prosecutors accountable for jailing an innocent man for 15 months while they make up theories in an attempt to secure a conviction. How do we hold the Judge accountable when the case should have never been given to the jury at the end of presentation of the evidence. We will discuss the continuing problems with lawyers taking advantage of clients and the system in all types of litigation, we will discuss prosecutors who couldn’t defend a speeding case in real life, we will discuss real time Judge incompetence but most importantly we will discuss how all of you get involved to help me repair a broken system.But far less importantly, we are going to talk about me, growing up in a family of 8, and the first person in the entire family tree to attend college. How lucky I am to have this opportunity and career and how we got here.Copyright 2025 Bret Adams

Transcribe →The Travesty of Secret Grand Juries with Brad Koffel
May 2, 202200:36:20Tap to summarizeEsteemed criminal defense lawyer Brad Koffel joins the podcast today to discuss the archaic and dangerous grand jury process. Note to weak prosecutors who manipulate this process; have the courage to file charges without a grand jury crutch and stand behind those charges. Better yet, have the courage to eliminate what all of you know to be a stacked process against all of us as ordinary citizens. If you are sick of someone’s shit, let us know here.
