Customer Reviews
Always interesting; great production values
Evan Schaeffer offers a great mix of his extensive experience with music production as well as his sanely warped view of the practice of law from the Plaintiff's perspective. Admitted to practice in two midwestern states, Mr. Schaeffer displays a superb understanding of the hot legal issues of the day, without taking himself too seriously. The Podcast on Supreme Court nominees was particularly interesting, and I don't call myself an attorney anymore since he pointed out how self-aggrandizing it is. I am a lawyer, and both lawyers and clients will find The Legal Underground more than worth a listen.
Always fresh and interesting ...
I really look forward to Evan's weekly podcast. I was first exposed to Evan through his op-ed piece in the Houston Chronicle. I would recommend this to my friends!!
