Bronx Criminal Deportation Lawyers – Compassionate, Expert Defense

Bronx Criminal Deportation Lawyers – Compassionate, Expert Defense

Are you worried about deportation because of a criminal matter in the Bronx? Honestly—that’s a frightening position to be in, and I completely understand how overwhelming it feels. At Spodek Law Group, we focus on providing a “white glove” defense combined with compassionate guidance. I’m Todd Spodek, a second-generation attorney who’s appeared in major outlets—from Netflix’s coverage of the Anna Delvey case to the New York Post—and my mission is to help you feel supported every step of the way.

Why Deportation Risks Can Feel Overwhelming

Why does this deportation risk feel so intense? For many individuals, a simple brush with the law can trigger Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provisions that lead to removal proceedings. Under INA § 237, non-citizens convicted of certain offenses may face deportation. But that doesn’t mean all hope is lost. Our team at Spodek Law Group—leveraging a fully digital client portal and a nationwide footprint—works tirelessly to examine every angle of your Bronx criminal case and make your immigration concerns our top priority.

Arrested in the Bronx? Here’s What You Need to Know

What happens if you’re arrested in the Bronx and also uncertain about your immigration status? First, the criminal court process kicks in, and you could face charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, depending on the allegations. Then, if you’re not a U.S. citizen, immigration authorities might place you in deportation proceedings. This scenario can be scary—but we’ve got the experience to break it all down for you.

Our “White Glove” Commitment

Most importantly, if you’re facing serious charges or even minor convictions, you need a team that’s seen it all. At Spodek Law Group, we provide 24/7 responsiveness and consistent communication—our “white glove” approach—so you’re never in the dark. My background includes years of trial experience, frequent appearances on major media platforms, and a reputation for investigating every angle until we uncover the strongest strategy possible. We don’t rush; we deeply explore each defense to help you stay in this country.

Understanding the Start of Deportation Proceedings

How do deportation proceedings start? Often, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodges a detainer when you’re in criminal custody, or they serve a Notice to Appear (NTA) after your arrest. That Notice to Appear essentially kicks off the removal process, and you’ll have a date to stand before an immigration judge. Being served with these documents sounds scary—and it is—but remember that you have rights, defenses, and meaningful legal options.

Building a Strong Defense – Padilla v. Kentucky

At Spodek Law Group, we believe in exploring every possible defense—from challenging the legality of your arrest to questioning the government’s evidence. In the landmark case Padilla v. Kentucky, 559 U.S. 356 (2010), the U.S. Supreme Court emphasized that criminal defense attorneys must advise non-citizen clients about potential deportation consequences. We take that mandate seriously. Our approach is simple:

• Dive into the facts – We thoroughly review every detail of your case.
• Consult expert witnesses – If we need specialized knowledge, we know where to find it.
• Leverage nationwide resources – Our firm’s extensive network helps leave no stone unturned.
• Insist on your right to remain – We fight for your immigration status as vigorously as we do for your criminal defense.

Our Digital Portal – Tracking Your Progress

We know how chaotic life feels when you worry about potentially leaving the country. On top of the criminal proceedings, there’s the immigration court schedule, the pile of paperwork, and the fear of being separated from loved ones. That’s why Todd Spodek and our entire team keep you updated through our digital portal—where you can:

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

His exact words were “I’m not worried about it”. His unwavering support and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire process. I am immensely grateful for Alex's exceptional legal representation and wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled criminal defense attorney.

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 can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.
