There’s one reason you’re on this website: you’re looking for an elite criminal defense law firm, so let’s get right to it. The Spodek Law Group is a premier nationwide criminal defense law firm – with our main office in NYC. We have experience handling some of the toughest cases, period. When you’re looking for a criminal defense lawyer, Spodek Law Group is a firm that will be on your radar, our reputation is well received by other attorneys and members of the media alike. But, what sets us apart?

It’s Simple: Uncompromising Standards, Unparalleled Service

Every single client deserves honesty and white glove service, it’s that simple. We recognize that any conviction, or even a whisper of wrongdoing, can impact your life in profound ways. Our goal? Prevent your case from ever going to a judge or jury – because we understand the implications a criminal conviction can have. Most criminal defense attorneys will take on any client who can pay, regardless of whether they can actually help. Not us. We are selective about the clients we work with – in order to ensure that every client gets a successful outcome. So, what do you do, if you get hit with one of these things? When you reach out, the process begins with a risk-free consultation, in person or over the phone. During this consultation, you can ask us anything, regardless of how long it takes. We encourage you to take this opportunity to ask the tough questions – which allow us to demonstrate our deep understanding of the issue you’re facing. We are available to help you 24/7.

A Truly Nationwide Presence

The Spodek Law Group handles cases nationwide, we have offices in NYC and Los Angeles. Regardless of how tough your situation is, we are here to help you. Our criminal defense lawyers work tirelessly to find a solution, irrespective of what you might be up against. Many clients are often embarrassed or hesitant to speak openly about their alleged issues. But, we encourage full transparency – it’s the only way we can provide the best possible legal advice and representation. We understand this is likely one of the most difficult situations you’ve faced. If you’re accused of a crime, schedule that consultation with our attorneys today.

Federal Charges Require Federal Expertise

If you’re a suspect or person of interest in a federal crime, we can help. Being under investigation or charged with a federal offense is an incredibly serious matter. Authorities like the FBI, DEA, Secret Service, and Homeland Security are likely involved – agencies with vast resources compared to local law enforcement.The federal government can legally intercept communications, conduct surveillance, and utilize other invasive tactics to build their case against you. Punishments for federal offenses are harsh, with mandatory minimum sentences that show no leniency. But, take a deep breath. Our firm has experience facing down the full force of the federal government’s prosecutorial powers. We know the tactics they use, the strategies they employ, because we’ve succeeded against them time and time again. It could be that you simply did not see the bus, or were distracted by something for a split second as you crossed the street. It could be that the other driver was going too fast, or failed to yield right of way properly. There are so many potential scenarios where you may not actually be at fault, or where there are mitigating circumstances that should be taken into account.

The Right Representation Is Paramount

Sometimes prosecutors will only be fair if you respond with force. Without an attorney advising you, you might accidentally plead guilty when you could’ve won the case. The only way to truly know is to hire a private criminal defense attorney. At Spodek Law Group, we pride ourselves on taking a hands-on approach. It means researching every intimate detail surrounding your case and being intimately familiar with the facts. Our firm has excellent work ethics, and we constantly hold meetings to discuss and strategize for all of our cases. In an emergency, we have a full team of lawyers available to help you.

A Tailored Defense Strategy

Our team treats each case uniquely, we don’t believe in a cookie-cutter approach. We work closely with our clients to ensure they understand exactly what they are facing, in order to prepare them for all possible outcomes. Our number one objective? Get all charges dismissed or significantly reduced so you can move forward unimpeded. We offer a risk-free consultation over the phone or in person at one of our locations. Regardless of whether you face a violation, misdemeanor, or felony charge, we will invest our maximum effort into your case. We will never judge the choices you’ve made. We will be there when no one else is, doing everything in our power to get you the best possible result.

The Right Lawyer For Your Needs

While our attorneys have decades of combined experience across the full spectrum of criminal law, some of our lawyers focus their practice on certain key areas:

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!

Believe every single review here about Alex Z!! From our initial consultation, it was evident that Alex possessed a profound understanding of criminal law and a fierce dedication to his clients rights. Throughout the entirety of my case, Alex exhibited unparalleled professionalism and unwavering commitment. What sets Alex apart is not only his legal expertise but also his genuine compassion for his clients. He took the time to thoroughly explain my case, alleviating any concerns I had along the way. 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. Alex Z is not just a lawyer; he is a beacon of hope for those navigating the complexities of the legal system.

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.
