If you are looking for a lawyer that listens, is aggressive where needed, and holds his word above all else, Todd is the best pick. I had hired multiple attorneys prior to hiring the Spodek Group for a white collar case. The first thing that stood out to me was the cost, as anyone going through the process and dealing with the system, money was tight at that time - especially after hiring and firing multiple lawyers. The cost was not as high as others which was definitely a plus. Todd's intake process was also unlike other attorneys. He took the time to actually listen. He cared. He was trying to put himself in my shoes while I was explaining the situation to him and he really took the time to understand the whole situation. Other lawyers will give you 15 mins and send you a retainer agreement. Not Todd, I think he spent almost two hours with me as I was explaining everything.Not only was he great during the onboarding process, he was supportive and very informative through the entire plea process and eventually sentencing. After hiring him, I asked if I should hire a prison consultant, he told me to save my money as he would do everything they would. He was right and held up to his word. Later on I would hear from others that went with the prison consultants that they were a waste of money - I am glad I listened to Todd!When it came time for sentencing, two days prior to sentencing, the prosecutor tried increasing my proposed prison time by almost double - apparently a normal move. Todd and his team worked with me non-stop through the weekend prior to sentencing to ensure that I was not given additional prison time. Again, he took the time to listen and came up with a strategy to explain the case with great detail.Unfortunately, I did plead guilty as that was my best option. Todd and his whole team wrote up nearly 300 pages of a summary of what happened and why I should not be given prison time. If I breakdown the amount I spent with Todd versus the amount of work that I saw being done, I am shocked I was not charged four times as much. The other benefit was, a lot of criminal defense lawyers were just a single attorney with a paralegal or two. Todd had a team of people that I dealt with (5-7 people that I interacted with), but he was ALWAYS accessible. It would never take him more than an hour to reply unless he was in court.I was sentenced to prison and I was emotionally distraught. Todd and his team did whatever they could even after sentencing to make sure I was alright. He personally stayed in touch with my family to ensure I was doing alright and offered support to them. Most lawyers would consider the job complete at sentencing, not Todd.After prison, Todd still spent time with me to make sure I was on the right track and avoiding any potential risks in the future. He has also been giving advice on how to navigate probation etc and has not been looking at the clock for billing.Although I wish I had never been arrested in the first place, I am glad I had Todd and his team in my corner. Without them I likely would have had to spend a lot more time in prison than I did.Thank you, Todd, and the entire Spodek Law team, for helping turn what was a nightmare into a manageable situation!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence.Thank you team!

Anabolic steroids are prescribed by medical professionals because of their legitimate medical uses. Patients with a loss of testicle function, breast cancer, delayed puberty, or other illnesses, are prescribed steroids. Having steroids in your possession with valid medical prescription isn’t a crime. When steroids are made unlawfully, or prescribed, delivered, sold, then those instances can be charged by either state or federal charges. Defendants can be charged with possession, or even intent to deliver and distribute.
In New York, a defendant will be automatically charged with possession – unless the prosecutor can prove there was a criminal sale that was about to happen. On a federal level, it’s possible for a defendant to be charged with intent to sell, even without actual proof of distribution, delivery, or transaction. The federal government takes intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense – a lot seriously. They will interpret it as such, even if there is no actual sale taking place.
Penalties
Penalties for these offenses will vary. In New York, there is a major law imposing significant penalties on those involved. If the sales have been more than $75,000 – then you will incur significantly criminal penalties, involving jail, asset forfeiture, and more. The more drugs you have in possession, the worse the penalties. A defendant who has possession of anabolic steroids on his person, or in one of his storage lockers – will be penalized as well. If you have a past history of drug convictions, then you are a repeat offender – and will incur heavy penalties.
It’s possible to reduce the penalties through a plea agreement. In some cases, a defendant can give information about a large scale drug operation, and in exchange get immunity – or get convicted of a lesser charge. Defendants can also negotiate a plea agreement – that involves forfeiture of the illegal money gotten. Bottom line, you need an NYC anabolic steroid drug crimes lawyer to help.
