    Paul Bergrin is a hotshot criminal defense attorney in Newark, New Jersey. Seemingly unstoppable and with unorthodox methods, he’s built a reputation for getting his clients off the hook. But as Paul's legend grows, so do the suspicions swirling around him.

    When FBI Agent Shawn Brokos starts investigating a major drug ring, she makes a shocking discovery: the gang's most powerful player is none other than Newark’s star attorney. Has the ex-federal prosecutor crossed the line and started committing crimes himself?

    From Wondery, comes a new series about a lawyer who breaks all the rules, the FBI agent determined to take him down at all costs, and the people caught in the middle who paid the ultimate price.

The MrBallen magic is missing?

On other platforms l adore MrBallens story telling skill. On YouTube for example, he's visually engaging and his narration is excellent, he weaves detailed and competing stories. I'm finding his 'special' something is missing in the way he narrates these stories. I'm not saying they are not worth listening to but I'm not enjoying the delivery as much as l normally do.

Amazing story telling and delivery

John, you are fantastic. Your ability to navigate through complex scenarios and deliver them in story format simply helps my mind. I sometimes struggle to understand and keep up due to my autism but you are fantastic and I can listen to you easily and. follow along without any issues!
