Our experienced attorneys are here to guide you through every step of the process.

The High Stakes of Federal Cases

Let’s face it – federal cases are no joke. The resources and reach of federal prosecutors are extensive, and the potential penalties can be severe. That’s why having a top-notch legal team on your side is absolutely critical.At Spodek Law Group, we’ve seen it all when it comes to federal defense. From white collar crimes to drug trafficking charges, we have the expertise to mount an aggressive defense strategy tailored to your specific situation. But beyond just the legal aspects, it’s important to understand the financial implications that often come with federal cases.

Financial Considerations in Federal Defense Cases

When you’re facing federal charges, there are several key financial factors to keep in mind:

1. Legal fees: Federal cases are often complex and time-consuming, which means legal fees can add up quickly. At Spodek Law Group, we strive to provide transparent pricing and work with our clients to find payment solutions that work for their situation.
2. Asset seizure: In many federal cases, especially those involving alleged financial crimes, the government may attempt to seize assets they believe are connected to criminal activity. This can have a major impact on your financial situation.
3. Fines and restitution: If convicted, you may face hefty fines and be ordered to pay restitution to victims. These financial penalties can be substantial in federal cases.
4. Loss of income: Being charged with a federal crime can jeopardize your employment and future earning potential. We work to minimize these impacts whenever possible.
5. Collateral consequences: A federal conviction can have far-reaching effects on your finances, from difficulty obtaining loans to losing professional licenses.

Understanding these potential financial ramifications is crucial as you navigate your federal defense case. That’s where our experienced team comes in – we’ll help you develop a comprehensive strategy that addresses both the legal and financial aspects of your situation.

The Importance of Early Intervention

When it comes to federal investigations and charges, time is of the essence. The sooner you get our skilled attorneys involved, the better we can protect your rights and financial interests.Here’s why early intervention is so critical:

• We can work to prevent charges from being filed in the first place
• Evidence can be preserved and witnesses interviewed while memories are fresh
• We may be able to negotiate with prosecutors before formal charges are brought
• Your assets can potentially be protected from seizure
• A proactive defense strategy can be developed from day one

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.

Asset Freezes and Seizures

Federal agencies like the FBI or IRS have the power to freeze bank accounts and seize assets they believe are connected to criminal activity. This can happen very quickly, often before you even know you’re under investigation.If your assets are frozen or seized, it can create major financial hardship. You may be unable to pay your bills, run your business, or even hire an attorney. That’s why it’s crucial to have experienced legal counsel who can challenge improper asset seizures and work to get your property returned.

Subpoenas for Financial Records

During a federal investigation, prosecutors will often subpoena extensive financial records from banks, businesses, and individuals. This allows them to scrutinize your finances in detail.Responding to these subpoenas can be time-consuming and expensive. Our attorneys can help ensure you comply with legal obligations while also protecting your rights and privacy to the fullest extent possible.

Simply being under federal investigation can damage your professional reputation and business relationships. This can lead to lost income, clients, or job opportunities – even if you’re never formally charged.We work proactively to manage these reputational risks and mitigate potential financial fallout from an investigation. Our goal is to resolve matters as quickly and discreetly as possible.

Defending Against Financial Crimes Charges

Many federal cases involve allegations of financial wrongdoing – things like fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, or embezzlement. These cases often hinge on complex financial evidence and regulations.At Spodek Law Group, we have extensive experience defending against federal financial crimes charges. We work with forensic accountants and financial experts to scrutinize the evidence and build a strong defense.Some common defenses we may explore in financial crime cases include:

• Lack of intent to defraud
• Good faith belief that actions were legal
• Improper valuation of assets
• Accounting errors rather than deliberate fraud
• Entrapment by overzealous investigators

Every case is unique, which is why we take the time to thoroughly analyze all aspects of the alleged financial crimes. We leave no stones unturned in building your defense.
