Inside the Courtroom: A Conversation with Criminal Defense Attorney Ross Goodman
On this episode of The Middle Ground, host Tom Letizia sits down with renowned criminal defense attorney Ross Goodman of Goodman Law Group. Known for his high-profile cases and reputation as one of Las Vegas’s leading trial lawyers, Goodman shares insights from his career, his time as a U.S. Marine Corps Captain, and what it takes to defend clients in the toughest of legal battles.
From defending celebrity clients to tackling complex federal cases, Goodman discusses the strategies behind building a strong defense and the importance of protecting constitutional rights. He also opens up about growing up in a family deeply rooted in Las Vegas civic life — as the son of former Mayor Oscar Goodman and current Mayor Carolyn Goodman — and how that shaped his perspective on law, justice, and public service.
Listeners will also hear quick takes in a lively Lightning Round, where Ross reveals personal favorites, lessons learned, and the side of a trial lawyer you don’t usually see in the courtroom.
This episode offers an engaging look at the criminal justice system from the defense side, mixing legal insight with personal perspective — exactly what The Middle Ground is all about.
