Do I need a criminal defense attorney?
In NY – if you’re charged with a felony or misdemeanor, it is your constitutional right to have an attorney present with you at all stages of your case after the arrest. If you’re charged with a non-criminal violation, like disorderly conduct/harassment, or a traffic offense, you don’t necessarily need an NYC criminal attorney. Hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney – however, is in your best interests. You want an attorney present to represent you in order to ensure your legal rights are not violated – and that you proceed in the best way possible. If you hire an appropriate attorney, it is possible to avoid going to trial and resolving your case. Many people assume that just because they’re guilty – they should plead guilty, and this simply isn’t the case. Without an attorney by your side advising you – you might accidentally plead guilty when you could – in reality – win the case. An experienced criminal defense attorney could help you negotiate a plea to a lesser charge, which could eliminate your criminal exposure. At Spodek Law Group, we pride ourselves on a teamwork oriented approach. Every case is assigned to one of our partners, and we have a team of top associates who are here to help you. Our firm has excellent work ethics, and we constantly hold firm meetings in order to discuss and address all of our cases.

Whenever there is an important update in your case, you will be notified and contacted through our case management system. It means even if there’s a call to discuss discovery on your case, or results of other investigations we are doing – bottom line, we are always here to help you and check in with you.

Federal Crimes: Charges brought under federal law usually involve crimes which are crossing state boundaries. For example, federal law will cover white collar crimes, gun crimes, immigration, drug crimes, etc. Procedures in federal courts are different from procedures in state courts – the penalties are usually more harsh than penalties for similar crimes in state courts. In some situations, a federal crime will carry a minimum mandatory sentence, which means the judge has no discretion to sentence you to a lesser term based on mitigating factors. Our law firm has experience handling federal crimes nationwide. We can provide legal representation in federal courts all across the country. We can help you get bail, challenge the legality of the arrest/indictment, and limit potential penalties you might be facing. Our goal is to resolve issues before they reach the courtroom.
Domestic Violence: Prosecutors take allegations of domestic violence very seriously, and respond harshly – and overzealously. Domestic violence allegations can have a significant impact on your life, and can result in a criminal record. Many instances of domestic violence are physical, like assault. It is very unfortunate that sometimes allegations of domestic violence can be “fake” and motivated by other ongoing matrimonial/financial disputes. The accuser might be trying to take revenge on you due to the breakdown of the relationship. No matter the situation, one of our NYC criminal lawyers can help protect your rights against wrongful accusations.
Theft: Prosecutors can charge a defendant with a theft crime if the person is taking/withholding property from its rightful owner. The offenses can range from something as simple as shoplifting, to more complicated crimes like larceny/embezzlement/extortion. Criminal lawyers in NY can help you avoid a conviction if the criminal defense attorney can prove attack the prosecutor’s ability to prove intent. One possible defense is that the defendant believed they had a right to the property, or that the owner gave it to them.
White Collar Crimes: Similar to theft crimes, white collar crimes don’t usually involve violence. They are motivated by the thought of financial gain, and can be charged under state and federal law. Some examples of white collar crimes include: cybercrimes, computer offenses, scheme to defraud, identity theft, money laundering, RICO, and more. At Spodek Law Group, we very familiar white collar crimes – and understand the intricacies in both defending and prosecuting these allegations. One common example of white collar crimes is fraud – where people will be charged with credit card fraud, or other types of consumer fraud, like forgery. Common examples of fraud are: forgery, criminal possession of a false instrument, falsifying business records, or other similar offenses. Once you reach out to us, we can speak to you about your situation and determine how strong the prosecutor’s case is.
Drug Crimes: If you’ve been arrested for possessing, manufacturing, or trafficking, controlled substances – you could face many, many, years in prison. Just because you’re accused of a drug crime doesn’t mean you should assume there are no options. One possible defense to a drug crime allegation is that the police violated your rights when collecting evidence. The Fourth Amendment protects you from unlawful searches, and unlawful seizures. If the police seize drugs from your home/car without a warrant or probable cause – then our NYC criminal lawyers can file a motion to suppress any evidence they collect. Regardless of the drugs they find/confiscate, we can help. Our goal is to exclude the evidence, which will then hinder the prosecutions ability to move forward with their case. No matter how you were arrested, or why you were arrested, our NYC criminal attorneys are here to help you.
Sex Crimes: If you’re convicted of a sex crime, you might need to register as a sex offender – which can hurt your reputation and other career opportunities. These cases are high stake cases. It’s crucial you hire a New York criminal defense lawyer. Many sex crimes hinge on the credibility of the accuser and perpetrator. Our goal is to identify gaps in the accuser’s recollection, and help you present a thorough account of what happened from your perspective and that of witnesses. Consent is also a valid defense in some cases, when it involves adults. Other types of crimes such as child porn, or other internet sex crimes can turn into federal crimes – and will require more sophisticated oral and intellectual arguments.
