NYC Federal Criminal Lawyers
Need a Top NYC Federal Criminal Defense Attorney? Call the Spodek Law Group
Getting charged with a federal crime is no joke. The full force of the United States government is coming after you, guns blazing. Even small federal charges carry outrageously high sentences compared to similar state crimes. Like 20 years for relatively minor drug charges. Yikes!
Luckily, the Constitution guarantees every American the right to a fair trial and competent legal representation. But you can’t just grab any old lawyer off the street for a federal case. You need someone who knows the system inside-out. An experienced federal criminal defense attorney who can protect your rights and beat the charges.
That’s where the Spodek Law Group comes in. Their team of elite NYC federal criminal lawyers have decades of experience fighting federal indictments. From white collar fraud to drug trafficking and beyond, they’ve seen it all in federal court. And they know every trick in the book to get charges reduced or dismissed.
With Todd Spodek leading the charge, these legal eagles aren’t afraid to take on the Feds in trial. Spodek once faced down a 20 year mandatory minimum sentence and got the case tossed out before it ever saw trial. Another client was hit with securities fraud charges that could have led to 25 years in prison. But Spodek’s mastery of financial records won him a full acquittal.
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.
Why You Need a Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer
Let’s face it. The deck is stacked against you in federal court. Federal prosecutors boast a mind-blowing 99% conviction rate. They only bring cases they’re almost certain to win.
The FBI has vast resources to investigate and build federal cases. Expect them to dig deep into your personal, financial, even mental health records. They’ll interview your friends, family members and colleagues while threatening charges if they don’t cooperate.
Prosecutors use this mountain of “discovery” material to turn defendants against each other. They’ll pile on excessive charges without mercy, then drop some in exchange for a guilty plea. Even innocent people crack under the immense pressure.
You need an experienced federal criminal lawyer to protect you from these coercive tactics. The Spodek Law Group will file motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence and block unconstitutional searches. Their intimate knowledge of federal sentencing guidelines allows them to negotiate firmly and call out bogus claims.
Having an aggressive litigator like Todd Spodek sends a message to prosecutors. They know he’s not afraid to take them to trial and demolish their case before a jury. Many times charges get dropped or reduced simply because the prosecution doesn’t want to embarrass themselves against Spodek in court.
Types of Federal Charges the Spodek Law Group Handles
From Wall Street to the streets, the Spodek Law Group defends clients against the whole spectrum of federal crimes in New York City and beyond:
White Collar/Fraud Charges
The FBI and IRS love targeting executives and professionals for financial and corporate crimes. Some common allegations include:
Securities and commodities fraud
Accounting fraud
Tax fraud/tax evasion
Embezzlement
Money laundering
Racketeering (RICO)
Mail/wire fraud
Stock manipulation/insider trading
The government aims to “make examples” out of white collar defendants with harsh sentences. But attorney Todd Spodek is a CPA himself before becoming a lawyer. He can dig into convoluted financial records and filings to find reasonable doubt.
In one securities fraud case, he discovered a key document supposedly proving criminal intent was actually misdated by federal agents. This smoking gun got the entire case dismissed before trial.
Drug Crimes
From distribution and trafficking to possession and intent to sell, federal drug crimes call for mandatory minimum sentences even for first time offenders. Common narcotics charges include:
Cocaine
Heroin
Marijuana
Methamphetamine
Oxycodone and other pharmaceuticals
Spodek Law Group attorneys expose illegal search and seizure tactics used in drug arrests. They also challenge DEA chemical testing procedures that often provide false positives.
Sex Crimes
Federal jurisdiction applies to certain sex offenses crossing state or national borders. These include sex trafficking, child pornography, traveling to engage in illegal sexual activity with a minor, and transport of individuals for prostitution.
Being smeared as a sex offender can ruin lives even if charges get dismissed. Spodek Law Group lawyers fight to protect the privacy of those accused. They’ve defended clients against salacious federal sex crime indictments and left their reputations intact.
Violent Crimes
Murder, assault, robbery, and gun charges become federal cases when they occur on government property, across state lines, on the high seas, or involve terrorism.
Gang violence and RICO statutes also bring violence under federal jurisdiction. The Spodek Law Group does not shy away from even the most serious violent federal indictments. Their tough negotiators have successfully defended federal murder cases by discrediting witnesses and physical evidence.
Appeals and Post-Conviction Relief
The criminal justice system gets it wrong sometimes. That’s where the appellate attorneys at Spodek Law Group come in. They dig for procedural flaws, prosecutorial misconduct, ineffective counsel, and civil rights violations.
In one federal appeal, they uncovered judicial bias leading to a stunning reversal of conviction. For post-conviction relief, they’ll even bring constitutional challenges under habeas corpus petitions.
Releasing wrongfully convicted inmates is incredibly difficult. But Spodek Law Group appellate lawyers live for the thrill of righting justice.
