Grab your margaritas (responsibly) and join Attorney Patrick Smith for a Cinco de Mayo-fueled ride on the fastest hour on radio. We kick things off with the real story behind May 5th (not Mexican Independence Day—it's the underdog victory at Puebla in 1862), rain-proof party plans with a food truck and tent, and Spike sending the show off the rails before it even starts with "Deed Frotten."

This episode dives deep into deed fraud (yes, people coming home from grocery shopping to find strangers living in their paid-off house—Brooklyn horror stories meet Florida prevention tips: sign up for those free 67-county property alerts that notify you in 24 hours!). We break down timeshares like a bad vacation regret—Florida's 10-day cooling-off period (written notice, certified mail, no take-backs on the salesperson pitch), deed-backs with full release, and why you probably shouldn't leave one to your kids.

Plus: Nine shiny new Florida laws from Governor DeSantis (church security volunteers, porch pirate penalties, organized retail theft crackdowns, boating safety, and more), trust administration 101 (who gets invited to the "reading," step-up in basis magic for taxes, and why inheritances aren't income), gun rights restoration after old felonies, rental property succession planning, Medicaid nimble trusts for nursing home worries, and a heartfelt note heading into Mother's Day.

We're #1 in talk and climbing the Tampa Bay ranks (goal: pass the Dove!), bringing back the legendary "Oh Hi There" update videos in the original pink polo (fan club drama included—Instagram shadowban story is chef's kiss), and taking your calls with wisdom, wit, and zero judgment. Real stories. Real law. Real fun. (And Easy-E filling in magnificently for Isaiah.)

Tune in, call 800-771-1025 with your deed theft, timeshare horror, or stump-the-lawyer tales, and protect what you've built. Heart and soul on the airwaves—stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

Buckle up for the fastest hour on radio—where Journey hits play, AI hallucinations turn last week's jet ski medevac drama into a Hollywood trailer, and your host, Attorney Patrick Smith, drops real talk on what you wish you knew before becoming an executor (thanks, Kylie: creditors, taxes, mortgages at ~6.3%, and why probate is basically a slow-motion nightmare).

This week: a fresh Florida Highway Safety text scam that screams "mandatory final notice" (spoiler: delete it faster than Isaiah grabs show prep five minutes before airtime), a listener challenge that hands out a free $695 trust package for the craziest/stump-the-lawyer question (Victor nearly triggered the gift tax with $75K into his 24-year-old's account—annual exclusion is still $19K, folks!), digital asset tips for your crypto empire, and why you should review your estate plan every three years (or sooner when life throws curveballs like name changes and new responsibilities).

Plus: Vern Hendricks dropping in fresh from retirement with his "About the Town" podcast (and his wife Elisa's legendary goodwill tours), and enough heart-and-soul legal advice to keep your family protected without the drama. Real stories. Real law. Real fun. (And zero co-hosts answering legal questions—they're not licensed, folks.)

Whether you're dodging probate, spotting scams, or just here for the banter and Gators shoutouts, call in at 800-771-1025. Heart and soul on the airwaves—tune in, call in, and stay safe (and off the midnight train to bad estate planning).

Get ready for an action-packed episode of The Attorney Patrick Smith Show! Host Patrick Smith delivers a gripping firsthand account of a serious medical emergency that unfolded at his dock last weekend — a young girl injured in a jet ski/tubing accident that ended in a medevac to the hospital. Patrick shares the chaotic scene, the heroic first responders, the neighborhood rumor mill, and important safety lessons for everyone hitting the water this season.

Plus, Maddie the Surfer Girl returns with her own blind segment on the LSAT (Law School Admission Test) — its history since 1948, the shift from online to in-person testing, logic games, and the major cheating scandal that shut down remote testing in China. The crew (Spike, Isaiah, and Maddie) brings the laughs with radio banter, "hitting the post," truck & trailer updates, and stories from auditions to public TV days.

As always, it's a full legal call-in show — Patrick and the team are ready to tackle your questions on wills, guardianship, boating laws, and more. Call in live at 1-800-771-1025.

Heart and soul of the airwaves: real stories, real law, real fun. Tune in, call in, and stay safe on the water!

Join attorney Patrick Smith for a lively Masters Week edition of the show! We dive into the quirky, strict (and sometimes hilarious) rules and laws at Augusta National — from the total ban on cell phones and cameras to no running on the grounds, the "second cut" instead of rough, the sacred green jacket rules (even for Tiger!), banned tipping, and the famous "Masters Rule" tax break that lets homeowners rent out their place for 14 days tax-free.

We also break down President Trump's new executive order on saving college sports — including limits on transfers, eligibility, NIL crackdowns, and protections for women's sports — plus hot takes on the Gators baseball win, shout-outs to loyal listeners like Shamina, Dirk at the Clearwater Threshers, and the crew (Spike's epic AM/PM oversleep fail is comedy gold).

Plus: Real listener calls on employment contracts and small claims countersuits, a trip to the show vault with classic 2007 Patrick in action (complete with honest self-critique), a feel-good homeless cottages story, and free legal advice on air. It's a tradition unlike any other — laughs, law, sports, and heart.

Tune in every Saturday morning for no-cost legal guidance and unfiltered fun. Call in at 800-771-1025!

Get ready for a miracle on this special Easter edition of The Attorney Patrick Smith Show! Host Attorney Patrick Smith dives into the fascinating legal aspects of the trials of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ — exploring the six trials (three Jewish and three Roman) within roughly 12 hours, the procedural violations under ancient Jewish law, the shift to Roman charges of sedition, and the ultimate path to crucifixion and resurrection.

We also break down seven brand-new Florida laws recently signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, covering everything from streamlining development at large resorts like Fontainebleau, farm equipment warranties, environmental protections, and cutting red tape on shoreline management and regulations.

Plus, Patrick shares heartwarming personal stories — including a touching gift from his dad framing his law school professor offer letter — and delivers practical estate planning advice, like affordable trust packages starting at just $695. Live callers get real-time help on topics like probating a recent aunt's trust/will, liability in a parking lot car accident, and more.

Join Attorney Patrick Smith live from the Bone Studios in beautiful St. Petersburg, Florida, for a high-energy episode packed with real talk on estate planning and probate.

This week, we help 3L law student Nico DeVito earn extra credit for his Stetson University College of Law estate planning class by putting him on the air to interview Patrick about a high-stakes, multi-million-dollar estate settlement involving blended family tension, suspicion of foul play, and intense family volatility. Patrick shares hard-won lessons from 19+ years and 25,000+ cases—including how to set the right tone in explosive meetings, the economics of litigation, creditor claims, and why so many disputes stem from grief, regret, or unresolved issues with the decedent.

Adding major pressure (and wisdom): a surprise in-studio appearance by Stetson Law Dean Benjamin Barrows, who observes and chimes in on family conflicts, mediation, and practical planning tips. We also take your calls on will contests, fiduciary breaches, updating revocable trusts, and more.

Plus: a heartfelt Top Gun tribute and RIP to James Tolkan (Stinger), Isaiah the Magnificent powering through post-hospital meds, Spike on the mic, a Model Senate recap, and a soulful sing-along finale with "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and "Soul Man."

Raw, real radio with practical estate planning advice, listener interaction, humor, and faith-based encouragement. Whether you're planning your own estate, dealing with family dynamics, or just love great legal storytelling—this one's for you.

Join Attorney Patrick Smith broadcasting live from Stetson University's 54th Annual Patrick L. Smith Model United States Senate! Kicking off with Whitney Houston-level chills on the national anthem, Patrick dives into the heart of this legendary three-day simulation where students from across the country become real U.S. Senators—pushing bills, whipping votes, debating amendments, and mastering Riddick's Rules like pros.

Hear from key players: Dr. David Hill on building careers through Model Senate, student coordinator Serena Dowling on crafting partisan debate gold, first-timer Isabella (as Sen. Joni Ernst) stirring the pot with discharges and deportations, Majority Leader Maddie the Surfer Girl with her NFL-playbook prep, Minority Whip Nate the Great (competitive bodybuilder edition), and alum Amy Trask on her groundbreaking Haven Act heading to the governor.

Plus pop quizzes, procedural chess talk, filibuster history (Strom Thurmond vibes), and why these kids might just out-Senate the real Washington. Legal questions? Call 1-800-771-1025!

Get ready for the ultimate St. Patrick's Day spectacular on The Attorney Patrick Smith Show! Host Patrick Smith (whose second birthday is March 17th) breaks down the hidden Florida laws lurking behind your favorite traditions: pinching non-green wearers (hello, battery charges under 784.03), underage green beer pitfalls (no holiday exceptions!), disorderly intoxication, false imprisonment if you grab that leprechaun, and why shaking one upside-down for gold could mean robbery or grand theft.

Live calls (including wise 14-year-old Rio dreaming of manga and herbal meds), a loose leprechaun in the studio ("I'm a leprechaun, me dear!"), Spike's lingering hugs, Isaiah's return, NYC recaps, musical Chess surprises, and a special drop-in from Drew Garabo in his infamous green romper.

Whether you're chasing pots of gold or just trying not to get pinched, tune in for laughs, legal wisdom, faith-filled encouragement, Gators updates, and a reminder: holiday traditions don't trump Florida statutes! Call in with your questions at 1-800-771-1025.
