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.

We don’t just rely on the school’s investigation. Our team will:

• Interview potential witnesses
• Gather exculpatory evidence
• Analyze electronic communications and social media
• Consult experts if needed (e.g. forensic, medical)

This allows us to build the strongest possible defense on your behalf.

3. Preparing You for Interviews and Hearings

We’ll make sure you’re thoroughly prepared for any interviews or hearings, including:

• Reviewing potential questions and practicing responses
• Advising you on what to say (and not say)
• Preparing opening and closing statements

The Importance of Acting Quickly in Title IX Cases

When it comes to Title IX allegations at Fullerton College, time is of the essence. The sooner you get experienced legal counsel on your side, the better we can protect your rights and build a strong defense. Here’s why acting quickly is so crucial:

Preserving Evidence

In many Title IX cases, electronic evidence like text messages, social media posts, and emails can be critical. But this evidence can easily be deleted or lost over time. By contacting us early, we can take steps to preserve any exculpatory evidence before it disappears.

Identifying Witnesses

Memories fade quickly, and potential witnesses may become harder to locate as time passes. The earlier we start our investigation, the better chance we have of finding and interviewing key witnesses while events are still fresh in their minds.

Shaping the Narrative

Once allegations are made, rumors can spread quickly on campus. By getting involved early, we can help shape the narrative and protect your reputation. We’ll advise you on how to respond to questions from friends or classmates without jeopardizing your case.

Influencing the Investigation

If we’re involved from the start, we can help guide the direction of the school’s investigation. We can suggest witnesses to interview, provide exculpatory evidence, and ensure investigators consider all relevant facts – not just those that support the allegations.

Avoiding Missteps

It’s easy to make mistakes early in the process that can harm your case later on. You might accidentally say something incriminating or delete evidence without realizing its importance. We’ll advise you on what to do (and not do) from day one to protect your interests.

Exploring Early Resolution Options

In some cases, it may be possible to resolve the matter informally before a full investigation begins. But these opportunities often disappear once the formal process is underway. Early intervention gives us more options for resolving the case favorably.Remember, Fullerton College’s Title IX process moves quickly. Don’t wait to get help. Contact our experienced Title IX defense lawyers at 212-300-5196 as soon as you learn of any allegations against you. We’re available 24/7 to start protecting your rights immediately.
