THE BEST LAWYER ANYONE COULD ASK FOR.
The BEST LAWYER ANYONE COULD ASK FOR!!! Todd changed our lives! He’s not JUST a lawyer representing us for a case. Todd and his office have become Family. When we entered his office in August of 2022, we entered with such anxiety, uncertainty, and so much stress. Honestly we were very lost. My husband and I felt alone. How could a lawyer who didn’t know us, know our family, know our background represents us, When this could change our lives for the next 5-7years that my husband was facing in Federal jail. By the time our free consultation was over with Todd, we left his office at ease. All our questions were answered and we had a sense of relief.
If you have found yourself in trouble with the law and being ordered to pay fines or complete community service, you will be subject to compliance instructions. However, time after time, clients of attorneys will fail to do what has been assigned to them. When this occurs, they may go to court without the proper documentation to prove they have done what they were ordered to by the court. When this happens, it’s important to have a compliance instruction lawyer who can help you navigate the complexities associated with these situations. Unfortunately, when problems arise concerning compliance instruction, courts take a dim view of this and seek to make people accountable for their actions. If you are having trouble meeting your compliance instructions, make sure you have an attorney who specializes in compliance instructions and the problems associated with them.
Proving Compliance Instruction Completion
If you have been ordered to pay fines and/or complete community service and have done so successfully, be aware that an attorney will not be present at the courthouse when you arrive. However, that does not mean your attorney can’t come to the courthouse if questions arise regarding whether you completed the court-ordered instructions. When a question arises, it’s important that you not only have a compliance instruction lawyer helping you, but that you also have copies of all paperwork related to your case. By doing so, you can greatly speed up the process of clarifying any misunderstandings and make the job of your attorney much easier.
What Paperwork Should I Bring to the Courthouse?
Once you have done what the court ordered, there’s no doubt you want to be able to prove you did exactly as asked. To ensure this happens, be sure you bring the necessary paperwork to court with you. This can include such forms as a cashier’s receipt showing your fines have been paid, a program completion certificate, community service completion letter, and any other forms that are relevant or required. Rather than being called before a judge when you enter the courtroom, you will likely give the documents to a court officer. While this process is usually quite straightforward, there are times when problems arise. If after discussing your situation with the court officer you still have no resolution to the problem, do not hesitate to contact your compliance instruction lawyer immediately. In most instances, they will be able to speak with the court officer and clear up any misunderstanding.
What If I Haven’t Completed My Tasks?
In many of these situations, people who have not paid their fines or completed community service may choose not to show up for court when they are told to do so, and that is always a big mistake. Regardless of whether or not you have completed the assigned tasks, you are required to show up in court. By speaking with a court officer about your situation, you will likely get an extension of several months to get in compliance. If for any reason you have a situation that cannot be resolved, do not hesitate to contact a compliance instruction lawyer who has the knowledge and experience needed to resolve your problems. If you choose to not go to court and talk to them about your situation, the ramifications can become serious. If enough time passes without making any attempts to wrap up your case, it’s possible the court will impose even harsher punishments due to a perceived unwillingness on your part to complete your sentence. However, by having a compliance instruction lawyer on your side, you will have legal representation that understands what it takes to make sure you avoid further legal trouble.
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.
Retain an Attorney
If you have received a sentence from the court requiring you to pay fines and complete community service, do not assume that you will not have to complete these tasks in a timely manner. Instead, consult with your attorney so that you understand exactly what is expected of you. By doing so, you can avoid having the court believe you are ignoring their requests. Instead, retain a compliance instruction lawyer and let them guide you through the complex process in order to ensure your situation is resolved.
