Pace University Title IX Investigations Lawyers
Pace University is one of the most well known and respected institutions of higher education. Pace University has a reputation in the NYC community. Irrespective of whether you’re part of the undergrad or graduate program, you may be arrested on campus. This will result a Title IX disciplinary hearing. In all likelihood, you could face charges from the NYPD, the DA’s Office, westchester County Police, or even other federal agencies. If you’re arrested – you could be indicted, and face a criminal record which will last for the rest of your life. This can impact not only your academic future, but the future of your life.
Typically, Title IX investigations happens after a fellow student accuses you of sexual, or gender, harassment. If there’s a pending Title IX investigation and disciplinary hearing, then it could result in your suspension or expulsion. There are a lot of things that can happen, which means you’ll need a trustworthy NYC criminal attorney who can work with you and protect you.
Depending on where the criminal allegations are made – Westchester or Manhattan – the police department, and DA’s office will change. If you are accused of committing a minor criminal offense on a college campus, you will be given a pink slip summons – which must be returned to a court in Pleasantville or Briarcliff. In Manhattan, this court is at 346 Broadway. Criminal cases which are misdemeanors are handled as Desk Appearance Tickets, also known as DAT’s. Felonies, regardless of what the student is accused of doing, will be handled in front of a judge. This is done on a local court level in Westchester or at the criminal court in NYC. More serious offenses, post indictment, are prosecuted in Westchester County Court or at the Manhattan Supreme Court.
Criminal offenses can be for any number of things such as assault, theft, unlawful surveillance, drug and marijuana, identity theft, computer crimes, and more. Even if you don’t get jail time, a misdemeanor – or time spent in prison, can result in your life falling apart. It can harm your chances of completing college, and can result in a diminished professional career.
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!

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.
