“Who wouldn’t want to be a gangster?” Gerard Marrone, our guest this week, says this on his YouTube docuseries The Street Attorney. “I went the other way. I became a lawyer. I represent the made guys and the bosses. They get locked up, I get them out,” he tells us. Join us for this absorbing interview. He’ll be talking about everything from his favorite kinds of cases, the reasons some mob cases are federal and some aren’t, and growing up in Queens.
At just 21 years old and working on being a professional boxer, Gerard was shot in the back at a party protecting his sister. Initially told he’d never walk again, he beat the odds and now walks right into the court room. He’ll talk about how his personal experience of getting shot has turned into empathy for his clients, which can be a real asset for his attorney business.
Here’s what else we’ll cover in this episode.
