Norman Goldman

Norman Maurice Goldman (born March 17, 1959)[1][2] is a Los Angeles-based attorney and hosts a popular national talk radio program.

Goldman first broadcast nationally as a fill-in host for The Ed Schultz Show in 2006,[3] as well as creating colorful segments as the show's Senior Legal Analyst, —responsibilities that he continues to this day.

In September 2009, Goldman began webcasting his own daily program. In late October Compass Media Networks announced Goldman would be in broadcast syndication on the nationwide radio network weekdays 6-9 PM, Eastern time.[4][5]

Early years

Born in New York City, Goldman was orphaned at age eleven, resulting in his remaining childhood being based from New York orphanages. He graduated from high school in 1976 at age seventeen.

Higher education

Goldman graduated from Hunter College of The City University of New York with a B.A. degree in political science. He then attended and graduated from law school on a full scholarship at Loyola Law School of Los Angeles. He passed the California Bar Exam at age 26.[6]

Krumme vs. Mercury lawsuit

Goldman was the plaintiff's attorney in Krumme vs. Mercury, a 2002 lawsuit in California. Both the trial court and the California Court of Appeal found for the plaintiffs that the insurance companies were mislabelling agents as independent brokers. The court upheld damages and attorney's fees.[7] An insurance industry journal has described the case as "infamous".[8]

The Norman Goldman Show

He hosted his own weekend talk show on KLSX (97.1) in Los Angeles in 2004 before being asked to provide legal opinions for national talk show host Ed Schultz. In the late summer of 2009, Goldman began broadcasting his own weekday program via internet broadcasting and podcast. The Norman Goldman Show is live from 3-6 PM Pacific time.[6] Goldman picked up several stations after Air America's 2010 demise, as Ron Reagan opted not to continue his 3-6PM PT show after the network's closing. Based in Los Angeles, Goldman’s national radio program is distributed by Compass Media Networks and currently heard daily in LA, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Portland, Albuquerque, Madison, Ashville, and most recently was added full time in Minneapolis as well as live on line at IHeart Radio, ITunes, AOL Radio, Stitcher, and Radio Time and www.normangoldman.com. Norman is a current contributor to The Huffington Post.

The program's motto is "Where justice is served".

Recently Goldman created the "four point plan to save America", after chastising politicians such as President Barack Obama for betraying their campaign promises. It includes power-transparency; "a WikiLeaks for radio", and a grassroots quarterback for the coordinating/funding of the progressive message and viewpoint.
