Chris Gober
The unPundit Podcast, hosted by political and constitutional law attorney Chris Gober, is the place to learn about politics, public policy, and constitutional issues without the unnecessary noise and punditry that has become standard issue in today’s news programs. No manufactured drama, no political punditry, and no soundbites. Just sound arguments. Chris Gober is a trusted legal adviser for the most consequential matters in American politics, having represented more than 500 clients—including former presidential candidates, U.S. Senators, Representatives, multibillion-dollar companies—in litigation, federal investigations, and political compliance matters across the United States. He regularly litigates constitutional law cases, including victorious lawsuits striking down unconstitutional laws in multiple states, and he obtained a settlement from the federal government on behalf of a conservative nonprofit organization after Internal Revenue Service agents unlawfully targeted the group and disclosed confidential taxpayer information. In 2017, Chris successfully defended Ben Shapiro, a well-known media personality, in a high-profile defamation suit brought by the father of the former Irving, Texas student known as “Clock Boy.” He is the Managing Partner and founder of The Gober Group, a nationally recognized law firm that has been ranked three times on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States based on revenue growth.
