On this episode of The In And Out Podcast, we sit down with veteran trial attorney David of Victim Recovery Law for an inside look at the American justice system from someone who has practiced on both sides of it.David began his legal career with the Philadelphia Public Defender's Office, where he spent years representing people accused of crimes and developing the trial skills that would shape his career. He later worked for insurance companies—including representing high-profile clients—and eventually founded his own firm focused on representing victims of crime and personal injury.That unique career path gives David a perspective few attorneys have: he's seen the criminal justice system from the defense side, the civil side, and through the experiences of victims and their families.In this wide-ranging conversation, David discusses some of the most challenging cases he's handled, including a wrong-house SWAT raid that resulted in a dog being shot and a federal civil-rights lawsuit, police misconduct, and a jury verdict involving approximately $1 million in damages.He also breaks down his firm's litigation involving so-called ghost guns, as well as cases involving sexual assault, negligent security, and victims who suffered life-changing injuries.David explains the difference between civil cases and civil-rights cases, how constitutional violations can become the basis for lawsuits, why proving police misconduct can be so difficult, and how relationships between attorneys, judges, prosecutors, and other players can affect the legal process.The conversation also goes beyond individual cases. David discusses the differences in legal resources available across jurisdictions, the importance of strong trial lawyers, wrongful convictions and the challenges of obtaining relief when new evidence emerges, and the difficult question of whether people who commit serious crimes can truly be rehabilitated.He also shares his philosophy on helping clients after a settlement—including helping minors and other recipients manage large awards so that compensation can provide long-term stability rather than disappear quickly.David's story is ultimately about much more than practicing law. It's about justice, accountability, trial advocacy, and what happens when people find themselves on the receiving end of a system that doesn't always work the way they expect it to.Learn more about Victim Recovery Law:https://victimrecoverylaw.com/david-p-thiruselvam/If you or someone you know has been impacted by a serious injury or crime, consult a qualified attorney about your individual circumstances.Subscribe to The In And Out Podcast for more conversations about the people, experiences, and stories behind the headlines.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes and does not constitute legal advice.

What happens when you’re arrested? When should you talk to police? And what happens when going to trial can potentially mean facing a much harsher sentence than taking a plea deal?In this episode of The In And Out Podcast, Eric sits down with Edward Cohn, a criminal defense attorney with 23 years of experience, for an in-depth conversation about the realities of the American criminal justice system.Edward shares his unusual path from spending years in a band with his sister to becoming a criminal defense attorney, as well as how his training through Harvard Kennedy School’s negotiation program shaped the way he advocates for his clients.The conversation covers plea bargaining, trial penalties, wrongful convictions, attorney-client relationships, public defenders vs. private attorneys, sentencing, mental health, and the importance of having strong legal representation.Edward also explains one of the most important things he believes people should know when dealing with police: exercise your right to remain silent and ask for a lawyer.He breaks down why defendants sometimes plead guilty even when they maintain their innocence, how prosecutors and defense attorneys negotiate, what judges consider during sentencing, and why resources can affect a person's ability to navigate the legal system.Edward also shares cases involving wrongful convictions, mental health, and clients whose lives changed dramatically because of the outcome of their cases.And ultimately, Edward explains why he continues doing this work: because changing one person's life can create a ripple effect through an entire family and community.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes and does not constitute legal advice.
