Criminal Attorney

by Wondery

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.

Just what i was looking for! Wonder has the best podcasts, so well researched and told and the access to those involved in the story is amazing! My only complaint is the ad that’s only in one ear it gives me a jump scare every time

Super solid podcast! Reminds me of some of the older Wondery stuff - only 1-2 ad breaks, doesn’t waste time repeating information, informative and well-delivered, doesn’t try to garner sympathy for the “bad guy” of the story (a truly vile man in this case). I would’ve liked to see a little more focus on the effect Bergrin had on people rather than his early career though. Overall really solid, and I really liked the narrator!

I loved this podcast, and I really loved jinx’s storytelling. He told the story of Kemu with integrity, humanizing him and recognizing all nuance, and being critical of the fbis recruitment of Kemu as an informant and where they fell short in their promises to him, while also having respect for Sean as a human being who was sort of just trying her best in a flawed way. Really difficult to do, jinx is really talented. I could also tell it was a priority for Jinx to get the audience to care about Kemu deeply, and he did. Jinx did right by Kemu, and it’s so appreciated.

I’ve listened to more podcasts than I can count and I very rarely consider the narrator’s capabilities to be a podcast’s greatest asset; Jinx, however, is the unquestionable exception. The storyline is compelling, sure, but Jinx’ vocal pitch, cadence, and general delivery effortlessly nudge you into becoming ever-so-subtly engrossed in the listening experience without even realizing it! Wondery would do well to give this guy a raise and expand his narrating caseload.
