The Attorney Patrick Smith Show

Legal Lifeline: Florida Edition

Attorney Patrick Smith takes the wheel for a wild ride through the laws of Uber (and Lyft) — from Florida’s three-phase rideshare insurance rules and million-dollar liability coverage to the infamous cleaning fees that hit when someone spills chili, tracks in soil… or worse. Isaiah (a real-life Uber driver) shares his own war stories of passengers who refused to clean up, while the crew debates everything from service animals and weapons bans to what happens when a driver leaves you stranded after a messy situation.

Surf’s Up with Maddie the Surfer Girl delivers the heavy hitters: a $40 million arbitration award after a young woman was left by an Uber driver and killed, an alleged nine-hour hostage situation involving an Uber driver in Los Angeles, and Indian Rocks Beach doubling short-term rental fees (cue the next round of lawsuits).

Plus first-time caller Barbara needs help with a mesothelioma settlement check, an EIN, and maybe a date… while the usual banter covers Abby’s upcoming blind date, Spike’s janitorial duties, shirtless neighborhood runs, and cold-weather Florida complaints.

Real law. Real stories. Real radio. Call 800-771-1025 with your questions. Heart and soul on the airwaves — stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

The Laws of Uber: Vomiting Fees, Highway Hostages & $40 Million Judgments

Happy Fifth Anniversary! Attorney Patrick Smith and the full crew — Isaiah the Magnificent (fresh off a national SBE Best Communicator Award), Spike on the mic, and Maddie the Surfer Girl — celebrate five years of real law and real fun with a special reunion-filled episode.

Old friends call in to toast the milestone: Vern (the original Sun City Center board op), Yana the Bella Russian producer (the one who set the bar impossibly high), and Brother John with heartfelt praise and neighborhood stories.

The main event? The $17 million Ohana Estate beach fence controversy on Longboat Key. When storm erosion wiped out the public pathway around a properly permitted private seawall, who yields — property rights or public beach access? Patrick digs into the messy legal battle of fences, erosion, and “son of a beach” dilemmas.

Plus: a deep dive into the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act (NIL rules, free transfers, 10-year scholarships, and agent fee caps), Surf’s Up stories featuring a Backstreet Boy suing over beach trespassers, a wrongfully arrested woman thanks to Flock cameras, and another sovereign citizen trying (and failing) to put liens on judges.

Real stories. Real law. Real radio. Call 800-771-1025 and help celebrate the next five years. Heart and soul on the airwaves — stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!

Five Years Strong: Ohana Estate Beach Fence Wars, Protect College Sports & Backstreet Boys Beach Drama

Attorney Patrick Smith saddles up for one of the most intense (and strangely entertaining) hours yet — diving deep into the laws of execution in Florida, complete with Toby Keith’s “Beer for My Horses” as the perfect outlaw soundtrack.

From lethal injection as the default method to the infamous “Old Sparky” electrocution era (and its very public malfunctions involving flames, bleeding, and synthetic sponges), Patrick and the full crew — Isaiah the Magnificent, Spike on the mic, and Maddie the Surfer Girl (dialing in from her Stetson dorm with the “Stetson plague”) — break down everything you need to know:
Where executions happen (tiny Raiford, population 224 not counting inmates)
How to (legally) become a witness
Last-meal rules ($40 max, no fast food, no alcohol — sorry, Maddie)
Florida’s record-setting execution pace

Plus: Lexi the Intern (Hall of Fame inductee) calls in with her jaw-dropping 126 MPRE score and wedding news; a follow-up on shopkeeper’s privilege (Target, Walmart, and Publix’s “premier customer service” approach); wild Surf’s Up stories including a Texas inmate who died of a shellfish allergy before his execution; the new Indian Rocks Beach smoking ban; and the usual Gators and Bucs predictions.

Real law. Real history. Real radio. Call 800-771-1025 with your questions and tune in next week for the 5th anniversary show. Heart and soul on the airwaves — stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!
