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!

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.

Mount Vernon Federal Criminal Lawyers

Has the court system charged you with a federal crime? If so, the attorney you choose matters a lot because federal cases differ from state charges. When it comes to the federal sentencing guidelines, they will differ from New York guidelines. In fact, federal crimes could even require a mandatory sentence or a more severe sentence, depending on the case. The attorneys at Spodek Law Group understand how to provide you with a vigorous and watertight defense. They are knowledgeably equipped to handle many of the federal charges. Some of the federal charges that an individual might face include:

  • Internet crimes
  • Mail fraud
  • Wire fraud
  • Money laundering
  • False statements
  • Misappropriation
  • Violent crimes
  • Sex crimes
  • Weapons offenses
  • Loan and bank fraud

Why Hire a Mount Vernon Federal Criminal Lawyer

You should hire a Mount Vernon federal criminal lawyer because we understand how you feel a lot of concern about the future you face. You worry for the well-being of your loved ones, and federal criminal charges will usually have a significant criminal penalty. You could be facing significant time behind bars when you have a charge like this. We have helped many clients who were in difficult positions and faced an incredible legal challenge. It was hard to protect their rights, but we can defend clients who have been charged with high-level crimes like rape, murder, robbery and drug sales.

How Spodek Law Group Builds a Defense

When we review the facts of a case, we look at what led to the arrest, and we try to figure out the constitutional violations that officers of law enforcement may have committed. We also look at how law enforcement collected evidence against you in the case, and we also examine if they had conducted an unconstitutional search that could become enough reason to suppress the evidence. We will look at whether the search warrant that the police had used to seize the evidence had a probable cause, and we will also determine if the prosecution has overcharged you. For example, we might see if you should have been charged with a lesser sentence instead.

Meticulous Preparation

With federal crimes, you want to know that the lawyers you hired will be on your side because you face a hefty prison sentence. We will build a strong defense in your favor at the trial, and if necessary, we will negotiate with the prosecutors to give you a better plea agreement. This minimizes the penalties that you could face when convicted of federal crimes. Federal crimes are the crimes that have violated federal laws within the United States. We have experienced lawyers who will fight your federal crimes. In addition, we understand the federal court procedures, and we have used this to our advantage. This becomes an extraordinarily invaluable asset, but it also requires early intervention with a qualified and experienced attorney.

Directing the Course of a Federal Investigation

Many times multiple agencies will investigate a federal crime, but it depends on the type of crime committed. Some of the agencies that might investigate include:

  • The Internal Revenue Service
  • The Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco and Explosives
  • The Federal Bureau of Investigations
  • Drug Enforcement Agency

It depends on the extent of the crimes, but an investigation could take several months or even longer before the agency files the formal charges against you. Ever since the 9/11 attacks in the United States, the FBI has begun to crack down on every kind of federal crime, and this stretches beyond terrorism. For example, they have chosen to take a more proactive approach where they investigate the crimes already committed and the potential crimes that took place on a federal level. Everything from concerns of national security to financial crimes are taken on aggressively. In these cases, you need a federal criminal lawyer who won’t back down for anything. Spodek Law Group has over 50 years of experience in the courts, and this becomes an invaluable protection for you.

The Most Serious of Crimes in the United States

When you face a federal crime, you need qualified legal defense because these crimes are serious criminal allegations within the United States. Not only do you face serious charges, the prosecutors will take aggressive action against you, which is why you need the best legal representation possible. The federal level also has more sophistication that requires qualified legal representation to defend you. In fact, there are more than 4,000 federal criminal statutes, and you need to find a lawyer who understands the statutes that apply to your case. You don’t want the prosecution to dance circles around your legal team, which is why you need a group of lawyers who specialize in federal crimes.

You Need the Right Kind of Lawyer

The good lawyers won’t even bother taking a case that they have no business representing you in. You must make sure that you have hired a lawyer who knows what he’s doing, and he should understand the full gravity of your situation. You don’t want to hire the lawyer who represents people for DUIs for a securities fraud case because you have many intricacies to federal crimes that require an experienced lawyer.

Spodek Law Group understands how to represent you in one of these legal cases. We understand the court process with federal crimes and how they differ from state crimes.
