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!

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.

Strategic Planning And Due Diligence In The Pre-Investigation Phase
Before commencing a corporate criminal investigation tactical planning due diligence will often be required in order to make certain that the scope is appropriate & carried out efficiently & discreetly as possible.

Corporate Criminal Investigations
When conducting a corporate investigation we work tirelessly towards achieving our client’s desired result of a clear picture of whether or not a corporate crime has been committed. As independent counsel, we bring an unbiased perspective on all the issues and evidence, and our only aim is to reveal the truth.

Remedial Measures Reporting Compliance And Enforcement Post-Investigation
Unless the investigation results conclusively reveal that no criminal infractions have been committed, at its completion there remains more work to be done. The requisite responsive measures in the aftermath of an investigation will be dictated by the outcome of the investigation itself.

Seven Best Practices in Corporate Criminal Investigations: Advice for Achieving Positive Results

The specific allegations notwithstanding regardless of what federal agency might be gearing up their own investigation some best practices should be followed in course of corporate criminal investigations:

1. Protection Of Attorney-Client Privilege – Protecting attorney-client privilege is crucial in all matters that carry implications for a company’s civil or criminal liability.
2. Carrying Out Witness Interviews – Performing witness interviews can be classed as both an art and science.
3. Uncovering And Keeping Documentary Evidence Secured – To perform searches personnel can be instructed not to remove or destroy potentially-relevant documentation.
4. Entering Into Joint Defense Agreements – A joint defense agreement allows two unrelated parties to communicate with regards to a federal criminal matter without breaching attorney-client privilege.
5. Documentation Of The Investigation Itself – At every stage it is also prudent to document the investigation itself.
6. Focusing On The Future At All Times – When performing a corporate investigation people involved should keep forward vision in sight at all times.
7.Avoiding Missteps That Could Be Seen As Complicity – Finally when carrying out a corporate criminal investigation people involved must avoid miscues that could translate as complicity.
