Grocery Store Criminal Defense Lawyers

When the Unexpected Happens at the Checkout Line

We have  all been there – one second, you’re standing in line at the grocery store, minding your own business – on your cell phone, and then suddenly…chaos erupts out of nowhere in front of you. Maybe someone decided to cut the line and then an argument broke out. Or, maybe, there was a dispute over a coupon, or sale item get outs of hand.

In one second, what normally would have been a normal shopping trip turns into a full-blown criminal incident. And  – in seconds, before you know it, you are now finding yourself facing criminal defense charges like disorderly conduct, trespassing, or even assault/battery. These can be serious misdemeanors, or even potential felonies if a weapon was involved.

Look, we get it – grocery shopping can be stressful – the last thing you need is having to about potential legal troubles. But the truth is, these things happen more often than you might think. And when these things do happen, you’ll want a top-notch criminal defense team in your corner, ready to snap into action.That’s where the Spodek Law Group comes in. Our grocery store lawyers are experts at handling even the most unexpected, bizarre cases involving:

  • Disorderly conduct
  • Trespassing
  • Petty theft (accidentally leaving without paying)
  • Assault and battery
  • Public intoxication
  • And more

We know how quickly a simple misunderstanding can spiral out of control. And we’re here to make sure you don’t end up paying the price for someone else’s overreaction.

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!

His exact words were “I’m not worried about it”. His unwavering support and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire process.

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!

I recently had Spodek Law Group represent me for a legal matter in NYC and I am thoroughly impressed with their services.Alex Zhik secured the best possible outcome for my case.It was a seamless journey from the initial consultation to the resolution of my legal matter. From the moment I spoke to Todd about my case, his enthusiasm to help was evident, setting a positive tone for the entire experience. The efficiency and professionalism displayed by the team is commendable.A particularly noteworthy aspect of their service is their user-friendly portal to upload your documents/evidence. This not only simplified the process, but showcases their commitment to streamline the client experience.Lastly, in an industry where legal fees can often be a concern, I found their pricing to be very reasonable, making needing legal assistance feel accessible and stress-free.I am grateful for their support and wouldn't hesitate to turn to them again in the future.

The Spodek Law Group Advantage

So what sets our grocery store defense lawyers apart from the other criminal defense attorneys out there? For starters, our NYC criminal lawyers have handled some of the craziest, most high-profile cases you can imagine – from stalking Alec Baldwin to conning New York’s elite – we’ve seen, and handled it all – truly. We are exceedingly strong when it comes taking on the tough, seemingly impossible cases that other lawyers might shy away from and turn down. But it’s not just our track record of success that makes us stand out. It’s our unwavering commitment to personal service that truly sets us apart.From the moment you hire our law firm, you become part of our inner circle, our family, – this is very curated clientele that expects (and receives) nothing but the highest level of attention and care. We’ll treat your case with the same urgency and dedication as if it were our own family member on the line. And let’s be real – when you’re facing criminal accusations and charges, you need a genuine advocate who will stand by your side every step of the way. You want someone who truly believes in you, and isn’t afraid of going to court/trial to win your case.

Snap Defenses for Grocery Store Charges

When it comes to defending against grocery store-related charges, we have a whole array proven strategies to work with. For disorderly conduct or trespassing cases, one possible defense our criminal lawyers might argue is that you were well within your rights and the store staff overreacted.

Maybe you were just trying to exchange an item or resolve a billing issue, and things got heated but it wasn’t your fault. If you’re facing petty theft charges for accidentally leaving without paying, our NYC criminal lawyers can present evidence of your good character and lack of criminal intent. A momentary lapse in attention, or an accident in general, shouldn’t land you with a criminal record. In situations involving assault, self-defense is always on the table as a potential defense. If someone got physical with you first, you have every right to protect yourself – even if the scuffle took place in the produce aisle. The bottom line?

We’ll explore every possible defense angle, and leverage every available defense to ensure the best possible outcome for your criminal defense case. No matter how bizarre, or black and white the situation may seem, our defense attorneys will leave no stone unturned in pursuit of justice and vindication for you.

Snap Judgment: Why You Can’t Afford to Wait

We understand the idea of hiring a criminal defense lawyer might seem like overkill for a grocery store incident.

You might be thinking, “It was just a misunderstanding – surely the charges will get dropped, right?”

Here’s the hard truth: prosecutors love going after these types of cases.

To prosecutors, it’s an easy win that pads their record. They have absolutely no incentive to go easy on you, even if the situation seems relatively minor.

That’s why it’s crucial to have representation from the very start. As soon as you’re charged or arrested, the clock starts ticking. Every statement you make, every action you take from that point on, can potentially be used against you in court. Our criminal attorneys in NYC will ensure your rights are protected, advise you on what to say (and what not to say), and start building a defense strategy from day one.

Trying to go it alone or simply “wait and see what happens” is a recipe for disaster. Prosecutors will use every tool at their disposal to secure a conviction – including twisting your words, poking holes in your story, and painting you as the person who started the issue. Don’t let a momentary lapse in judgment derail your entire life. Protect yourself by calling the Spodek Law Group at the first sign of trouble. We’re available 24/7 to take your call and start working on your case immediately.
