Todd A. Spodek
Managing Partner
As a second-generation attorney following his father's footsteps since 1976, Todd Spodek brings 13+ years of practicing law with an unparalleled combination of heritage, experience, and aggressive advocacy to every case. He has secured acquittals at trial in some of the most challenging federal cases, including felony murder, depraved indifference murder, and complex federal conspiracy charges.
His defense of Anna Delvey (Anna Sorokin) became a Netflix sensation in "Inventing Anna," showcasing his ability to take on cases that others deemed unwinnable. Todd's approach combines thorough preparation, creative strategy, and a genuine passion for protecting his clients' rights. He has represented clients in federal district courts across the country, earning a reputation for fearless advocacy in high-stakes criminal matters.
In 2025, Todd published expert legal analysis in The Spectator World, offering strategic advice on the Sean "Diddy" Combs federal case and drawing parallels between the Delvey defense and Combs' prosecution. His published commentary cemented his role as one of the nation's foremost authorities on high-profile federal criminal defense.
Todd is known for his meticulous case preparation, often spending weeks analyzing evidence, deposing witnesses, and crafting defense strategies that expose weaknesses in the prosecution's case. His trial record speaks for itself — clients facing decades in federal prison have walked away free under his representation. Recent victories include securing a 6-month sentence on a $12 million Ponzi scheme (typical sentences: 15-25+ years) and achieving time served only in a $4 million NBA healthcare fraud conspiracy.
