Violence Against Women

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

Brutal Truth: Violence against women is a serious crime that carries life-changing consequences. This isn’t just another “issue.” It’s a legal and moral crisis that affects families and entire communities. At Spodek Law Group, which is a nationwide federal defense law firm created by Todd Spodek, we know the stakes are high. We won’t tolerate excuses. We won’t hide behind sugar-coated words. If you’re ignoring how big of a problem this is, you’re ignoring reality, and that’s a major mistake. If you’re under investigation or facing these charges, you need to wise up—fast.

WHAT THE LAW SAYS

Authorities that were created to protect women take this crime very seriously. You can explore the Office on Violence Against Women at the U.S. Department of Justice to see how extensively the government tracks and prosecutes these offenses. Punishments that are outlined in state or federal codes often include prison terms and steep fines. If you’re found guilty of physically hurting a woman or threatening her safety, you may face both state and federal charges. That means you risk losing your freedom, your job, your credibility, and your future.

Data that was collected by agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirms that physical harm is only one aspect of this crime. Emotional abuse counts too. If you’re charged, then you could be dealing with an entire range of evidence that was gathered to prove you engaged in repeated threats or intimidation.

We won’t mince words: the law does not give you a pass if you claim you “didn’t mean it.” If the evidence that was presented proves violent acts, then penalties will follow. That means a permanent criminal record, mandatory counseling, restraining orders, and other penalties that disrupt your entire life. We’re not here to scare you; we’re here to state facts. At Spodek Law Group, we have experience with cases that could land you in jail if you don’t take prompt action.

MISCONDUCT THAT WAS COMMITTED IN A RELATIONSHIP

Domestic situations are complicated, but the law is not. If law enforcement obtains a single statement from a victim who was physically harmed, you’re already in trouble. That means even one credible police report can derail your future. If the prosecution builds a strong case, you could face lengthy prison terms. You could also lose child custody or visitation rights. Our job is to defend you, but we also won’t let you hide from your responsibilities.

We get it: things happen fast. Arguments flare up. Accidents occur. However, if you assume the court will “go easy,” that’s bullshit. You need a top rated team by your side if you want a real shot at a best possible outcome. That’s where Spodek Law Group comes in. We deal with complexities surrounding domestic violence, restraining orders, and similar issues in courts coast to coast.

MAJOR PENALTIES AND WHY THEY MATTER

Charges that were filed against you can trigger:

• Felony Convictions: These result in multi-year prison sentences, significant fines, and strict probation terms. That means a loss of civil rights and a shattered reputation.
• Misdemeanor Convictions: These still carry up to one year of jail time and permanent criminal records. That means losing job opportunities, housing options, or professional licenses.
• Protective Orders: Courts can issue strict no-contact orders. That means you might be barred from your own home or your children, upending your entire life.

When a judge hears evidence that was extremely graphic—like serious bodily injuries—they’re more likely to hand down severe sentences. That means no leniency, no second chances. If you want any chance at salvaging your future, you need an attorney who was trained to attack the prosecution’s weak spots. At Spodek Law Group, we see these holes before others do.

HOW WE DEFEND YOU

Here’s the bottom line: we won’t roll over. We focus on critical leverage points and go straight to the heart of the state’s evidence. If police reports that were taken are inaccurate, we’ll show why. If evidence that was illegally obtained is presented, it can be thrown out. That means the prosecution’s entire case can collapse if that evidence was crucial to their argument. We also look for procedural mistakes by law enforcement, flawed forensic data, or contradictory witness statements. That means we aim to dismantle the argument piece by piece.

Consequence of sloppy defense? You lose. Period. If your attorney isn’t prepared or fails to challenge questionable evidence, you could serve heavy prison time. Our approach is harsh but fair: we push you to stay honest, disclose everything, and let us build a strategy that fits your case. Anything less is reckless.

CALLING OUT EXCUSES

If you’ve convinced yourself that “nobody will find out,” you’re underestimating prosecutors who are dedicated to building strong cases. If you think the complaint that was filed against you is “no big deal,” then you’re kidding yourself. The legal system has the power to make an example out of you. That means a possible guilty verdict, social stigma, and a lengthy sentence that keeps you out of society. At Spodek Law Group, we can’t fix your life choices, but we can fight for your rights if you come clean about the facts.

MULTIPLE POINTS OF VIEW

From a victim’s perspective: Seeking justice is vital. You have legal rights, and agencies like the New York State Domestic Violence Program can help connect you with resources. The court system can grant orders of protection, ensuring your safety and punishing those who harmed you. That means a legal barrier preventing further contact. Spodek Law Group respects victims who are seeking accountability, and we never undermine the seriousness of their experiences.

From an accused person’s perspective: You have a right to a strong defense. If you believe the claims are exaggerated or false, we’ll investigate every detail. We also know that sometimes relationships spark intense fights that turn into legal nightmares. That means we look for missing pieces in the story—like conflicting witness statements. Our firm is dedicated to uncovering the truth and using every legal avenue to defend you.
