Federal Criminal Defense

Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys Can Help

If you’ve been accused of committing a federal crime, you probably have many questions and concerns. Federal crimes can be anything from drug charges to white collar crimes. As you may already be aware, federal courts and the criminal proceedings operate much differently than their state criminal counterparts. An attorney that’s skilled in federal criminal defense is an absolute necessity in these matters.

Take these steps to make the process easier:

The absolute first thing you should do is seek out a skilled federal criminal attorney. You’ll want to prepare questions to interview them and prepare any documentation you may have to support your case. Explaining the entire scenario and providing as much detail as possible will give them a better idea as to how they can assist you. Occasionally, they may be able to provide you with some feedback as to how the case may play out. Be certain to disclose any details that may not show you in a positive light. These things may be viewed from a completely different perspective from a legal standpoint.

The next step may be surprising to some; however, it’ll make the process much easier for most facing this type of major life event. Hiring a therapist is typically recommended for many people facing federal criminal charges. This is incredibly beneficial for sorting out your thoughts and being able to handle your emotions in a more constructive manner. Therapists are also able to help you come up with coping strategies that can be used whenever you feel a considerable amount of stress. Being thoroughly honest with the therapist is important for them to accurately understand exactly what you’re going through. A skilled therapist can get to the root cause of the issues and provide you with a diagnosis if applicable. With appropriate care, you may be able to avoid future concerns. You’ll also be able to seek other medical care if appropriate to effectively treat the condition.

Understanding the federal criminal court process:

The federal criminal process differs greatly from state level cases. The process tends to be much more complex and hiring an attorney with federal level experience is strongly advised. The order of events and the way they’re handled and by whom also differs. The United States Department of Justice, Offices of the United States Attorneys website offers a comprehensive outline of the entire process and how it works.

Attorney-client privilege and what it means for your case:

Attorney-client privilege is one of the biggest assets to any court case. This protects you and the attorney from disclosing any information that falls under this designation. After you’ve been notified of an investigation or charges being filed against you, it’s important that you mark all documents clearly at the top with this designation. This way, any information that’s requested of you after the proceedings are underway will be protected information. While there are specifics and limitations that your attorney will review with you, it’s a protective step you can take on your own. Attorney-client privilege is one of the biggest advantages in any criminal matter and especially in federal criminal cases.

Additional steps you can take to protect yourself when facing federal criminal charges:

If your case is high-profile in nature, it’s important that you not discuss the matters publicly and especially not with the media. As we’ve seen in the news repeatedly, things are often taken out of context and used against the individual or company being charged. Even discussing the matters with friends and family should be avoided. While it’s unlikely that most people will be subjected to extreme surveillance measures such as phone tapping, private investigators are often used in these matters. Keeping a low profile and maintaining your composure is critical during any type of investigation or criminal proceeding.

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.
