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.
Not every couple finds the need to introduce a prenuptial agreement into their marital planning. Perhaps you’re young and you haven’t any assets to protect. Perhaps you’re just not invested in it because you think you know better. Whatever the reason, you’re not without options if you choose not to sign a prenup. You have the option to later sign something very similar to a prenuptial agreement. It’s called a postnuptial agreement, and it’s the same as a prenup but its only different due to the fact you’re already married when you sign.
What is a postnuptial agreement?
A postnuptial agreement is a form you sign when you’re already married. It’s designed to help you protect yourselves in case something happens to you. This includes death and divorce. It’s a wise way to help you keep any future problems at bay even though you don’t predict you will have any future issues with which to contend. This paper states whatever you want it to state based on your personal situation. You get to create the terms, the agreement, and the situations presented. You must both agree to it, it might be in writing, and it’s best handled by an experienced postnuptial agreement attorney in New York City.
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.
Here is where you might find yourself surprised. A postnuptial agreement is not something you sign because you suspect you might one day divorce. It’s protection, yes, but it’s protection against anything that might occur. For example, if your spouse opens a business with a partner after you get married, you might not have any rights to that business if your spouse dies. This postnuptial agreement can outline your interest in the business being protected if your spouse dies.
On the other hand, it can protect your spouse and his or her business partner from you taking over any portion of their business if you are divorced. There are aspects to this that make it necessary for some couples. In fact, many businesses require their partners to sign agreements like this if they want to enter into the contract with one another. It’s for their own protection as well as the protection of all they build together.
Another common reason for a postnuptial agreement is inheritance. Perhaps you married with nothing, but you inherited an estate thanks to your family. You want to protect that inheritance with a postnuptial agreement. You and your spouse might have a plan in place if anything happens to either of you or you decide to get married, but things change all the time that might make one or both of you decide you don’t want to bother with that kind of nicety.
Additionally, a judge might make a decision based on the information they have if death occurs, and it might not favor you at all. Even if your spouse wanted you to have certain things upon his or her death, a judge may not grant that wish without a valid and legal postnuptial agreement.
Call a Postnuptial Attorney
If you didn’t want to or have a reason to sign a prenup, call an attorney to help you work on your postnuptial agreement. You might decide two attorneys is the best option for you to protect both of your interests, or you might decide to work with only one attorney given the fact you are a married coupon in total agreement over what is going into the contract.
Hiring an attorney is not necessary, but it’s the best way to ensure your postnuptial agreement is honored in court and not contested or challenged by family members or business partners. An attorney can use the correct legal terms, and they can make sure you are both of sound mind when you sign the agreement. This is the best course of action as it helps you protect yourself if something should happen in your marriage or to your spouse.
Even if you’re unsure whether this is the right move for you, you should call and speak with an attorney about the options you have. Protection is always helpful, and it’s never too early to take these steps to protect yourself and your family. An attorney can help you navigate what might otherwise be an awkward and uncomfortable situation as you attempt to figure out what to do and how to do it in this situation.
