Long Island Bail Reduction Lawyer
Long Island Bail Reduction Lawyer
When many people think about a person being in jail, they may think about how that person is affected. However, when a person is incarcerated, it often has a big effect on a lot of people other than just the person who is being accused of the crime. Family members, friends and more can all be affected by an individual’s incarceration. This is just one of many reasons why getting someone out on bail can be so important.
Unfortunately, it’s not always as easy as just calling a bail bondsman to get someone out of jail. In some cases, bail amounts are high, and it’s impossible for the family to get together the money that they need to get their loved one out of jail. Even though this might seem like a situation that simply cannot be fixed, a Long Island bail reduction lawyer might be able to help.
What is Bail?
Even though you might have heard of the term of “bailing someone out of jail,” you might not know much about it if you have never had to do it. However, the idea of it is pretty simple.
Basically, with bail, the court wants to help ensure that a person who has been arrested will show up for his or her court date. Therefore, you might be required to put up bail that will be seized in the event that your loved one does not show up to court. If the person does show up to court, the bail will be returned to you.
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.
Some people pay the bail in cash and then wait to receive their cash back until after the case has been handled. You can also work with a bail bondsman who will put up the bond in exchange for a cash fee that you do not receive back. In some cases, you can use your land or home as collateral for the bond, which means you could be at risk of losing your property if your loved one does not show up for court.
How is Bail Determined?
Bail is determined based off of a few different factors. For one thing, the courts generally look at what the person is being charged with. In general, someone who is being charged with a basic misdemeanor is going to have a much lower bond amount than someone who is being charged with a felony. Also, felonies differ; someone with a less serious felony will usually be able to get out on bail for much less than someone who is facing a more serious felony. Some felonies, such as murder, might mean that there is no bail at all.
The charge itself is not the only thing that the courts look at when setting bail, however. For example, someone who isn’t facing a very serious crime might still have a higher bail amount because of his or her past criminal history. Courts often look at a person’s ties to the community as well and whether or not he or she is prone to try to “jump bail” and skip his or her court appearance.
How Can a Long Island Bail Reduction Lawyer Help?
If you hire a Long Island bail reduction lawyer, he or she will look at your loved one’s charges, criminal history and bond. Then, he or she will look for potential defenses to help have his or her bail reduced, such as by bringing up his or her full-time job, family or other ties to the community. In some cases, house arrest is an option; even though your loved one will be on house arrest until his or her court date, he or she will be allowed to be at home instead of sitting in jail. Every scenario is different, so the best way to find out more about what might work for your loved one’s case is to sit down with a Long Island bail reduction lawyer who can give you a better idea of what to expect.
