Spodek Law Group P.C.: Fighting for You in Long Island’s Toughest Cases
Last year, in a Mineola courtroom, I stood beside a client-a local teacher, a father-whose world had collapsed. A routine IT audit flagged his work laptop, and suddenly he faced possession charges that could’ve ended his career and torn his family apart. We fought back, challenging a warrantless search that violated his Fourth Amendment rights. The judge agreed, the evidence was tossed, and he walked free. That’s what we do at Spodek Law Group P.C.: we fight for people, not just cases.
Child pornography charges are a nightmare. They hit hard, fast, and carry a stigma that can haunt you even if you’re innocent. If you’re in Nassau or Suffolk County, facing accusations that threaten your freedom, you need a team that knows Long Island’s courts inside out. That’s us.
What You’re Up Against
Here’s the hard truth: charges under New York Penal Law § 263 (or federal 18 U.S.C. § 2252) can destroy lives. Possession, distribution, or production of child pornography carries prison time-sometimes decades-plus fines and sex offender registration. Even an accusation can cost you your job, your relationships, your standing in places like Hempstead or Huntington.
If this is your situation
Stop reading. Start defending.
- Possession means knowingly having explicit material involving a minor. A single image on your phone, even if you didn’t download it, can trigger charges.
- Distribution covers sharing, whether it’s an email or a file sent online. Prosecutors don’t always care if it was intentional.
- Production involves creating such material, often tied to heavier charges like child exploitation.
Federal cases, often prosecuted in Central Islip’s courthouse, are brutal. Production convictions start at 15 years. And yes, you can face both state and federal charges for the same act-double jeopardy doesn’t apply here.

If your spouse or kid is facing charges, you’re probably sick with worry. We get it. We’ll sit down with you, explain the mess of laws like NY Penal Law § 263.10, and map out a plan. Whether it’s fighting for a dismissal or negotiating a plea, we’ll keep you in the loop and fight for your loved one’s future.
How We Fight for You
These cases are complex-think digital forensics, chain-of-custody disputes, even AI-generated images that blur legal lines. We’ve seen it all. Our playbook includes:
- Filing motions to suppress evidence from illegal searches, leaning on cases like Riley v. California (2014).
- Proving you didn’t know the material was on your device-intent matters.
- Working with experts to debunk flawed forensic analysis, like mislabeled IP addresses.
