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.
Although you may think you can handle your divorce proceedings without legal counsel – perhaps you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse are on relatively civil terms. While it is not at all impossible to negotiate the terms of your divorce privately with your spouse, retaining a divorce lawyer is an investment in peace of mind and a higher level of security protecting your interests in divorce court. Your New York divorce lawyer can provide valuable legal support, handle your administrative obligations, and help you explore alternative ways to resolve disputes as it becomes necessary. At the end of the day, hiring an attorney affords you experienced legal advocate who can verify that your case is moving in a positive direction.
By and large, divorce is rarely an enjoyable experience. There are divorce cases that will transcend the point where negotiation is possible and escalate to litigation. If litigation becomes necessary in your divorce proceeding in New York family court, assume your spouse will get themselves their own divorce lawyer. There’s no reason you should not put yourself on even footing. Your divorce lawyer can help you prepare for the proceedings to follow and live up to all of the court’s procedural requirements so your divorce can go as it should.
The Timeline of a New York Divorce
What starts the divorce process is when a married person files a divorce petition with the New York family court. Next, the court then dispatches a process server to formally deliver the divorce petition to the other spouse.This provides the receiving spouse an opportunity to respond. In the event that the other spouse does not respond, refuses to respond, or cannot be located, this could change the process. In such scenarios, a New York family court judge may grant a summary judgment in favor of the petitioner, decreeing the divorce without the unresponsive spouse having any say in the proceedings to follow.
Among the most common concerns among spouses preparing for divorce is the time required for the divorce to be final. In New York, no state-mandated waiting period exists before a divorce decree may be finalized. The timeframe required to complete divorce proceedings in New York relies completely on whether the divorce is contested. In a totally uncontested divorce, in which the couple holds minimal marital assets, have no children together, and are both in full agreement to the end of the relationship, divorce could be wrapped up in as little as six weeks. On the other end of the spectrum, a fiercely litigated divorce, proceedings could take months or even years for very complicated divorce cases.
The New York divorce lawyer will give you a rough estimate of how long it will take you to complete your divorce. Should you and your spouse be willing to collaborate and negotiate in a civil manner, it’s highly possible to significantly expedite your divorce proceedings. Looking into mediation with the help of your New York divorce lawyer can mean a much more speedy divorce.
Is Mediation an Option for Me?
There’s no real need to end your marriage in the throes of a bitter court battle if you and your spouse are willing to negotiate amicably. The mediation process is one of the most popular alternative dispute resolution methods for New York divorces. This process necessitates the assistance of a neutral third-party mediator, typically an experienced family law attorney who has no conflicts of interest favoring either of the divorcing parties. Your mediator will act as an overseer to the divorcing couple’s private negotiations. Their job is to keep the conversation focused and respond to the couple’s legal questions as they arise.
The parties may bring their own respective legal representatives to some portion or all of their mediation sessions. Working with an experienced New York divorce lawyer to assist in the mediation process can help things run more smoothly for everyone. The goal of mediation is for the the spouses to negotiate their divorce discreetly. Once they have arrived at a mutually agreeable set of terms, the mediator will verify that the proposed divorce agreement is sound. The spouses’ divorce lawyers may also review the drafted proposal as one final way to ensure fairness and protect their clients’ best interests.
Once the mediated divorce agreement is ready, it goes to a New York family court judge for final approval. Mediation only requires as many sessions as the divorcing couple needs to discuss all the terms of their divorce, including property division, debt division, and a parenting and support plan if there are children involved. It’s quite possible to finalize your divorce much faster than you would expect when you opt for mediation or collaborative divorce in lieu of costly and time-consuming litigation.
