New York Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer

Introduction

If you are facing federal criminal charges in New York, your life and liberty are on the line. The stakes couldn’t be higher. Federal prosecutors have vast resources at their disposal and will stop at nothing to secure a conviction. You need an experienced, aggressive New York federal criminal defense lawyer in your corner to level the playing field and fight for your rights.At Spodek Law Group, we have been defending clients against federal charges for decades. Our battle-tested attorneys include former federal prosecutors who know exactly how the other side thinks and operates. We use this insider knowledge to craft customized defense strategies aimed at dismantling the government’s case against you.When you hire our firm, you get a dedicated team of legal professionals who will leave no stones unturned in building your defense. We will thoroughly investigate the facts, identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s evidence, and develop compelling arguments to present at trial. Our goal is always to secure the best possible outcome, whether that means an acquittal, dismissal of charges, or a favorable plea bargain.

Why Federal Charges Are So Serious

Make no mistake – being charged with a federal crime is a grave matter. Unlike state-level offenses, federal crimes carry harsh mandatory minimum sentences under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. If convicted, you could be facing years or even decades behind bars, not to mention steep fines and a permanent felony record.Federal law enforcement agencies like the FBI, DEA, and IRS have virtually unlimited manpower and cutting-edge investigative tools at their disposal. By the time charges are filed, they have likely spent months building a case against you. Federal prosecutors are also among the best in the business, with the skills and determination to see a case through to the end.This is why it is so critical to involve an experienced federal criminal defense attorney as early as possible in the process, ideally before charges are even filed. At Spodek Law Group, we have successfully intervened in many federal investigations, convincing prosecutors to drop or downgrade charges. The sooner you contact us, the more options you will have.

Defending Against Common Federal Charges

Our firm handles the full spectrum of federal criminal charges, from white-collar crimes to drug trafficking to violent offenses. Some of the most common cases we defend include:

• Healthcare fraud
• Securities fraud and insider trading
• Money laundering
• Tax evasion
• Public corruption and bribery
• Racketeering and RICO violations
• Drug manufacturing and distribution
• Human trafficking
• Child pornography
• Weapons charges

No matter how complex or serious the accusations against you, we have the knowledge and experience to mount a vigorous defense. We will carefully review the evidence, interview witnesses, engage experts, and do whatever it takes to poke holes in the prosecution’s case.

Protecting Your Rights During a Federal Investigation

Many of our clients come to us while they are still under investigation, before any charges have been filed. If you have been contacted by federal agents, received a target letter, or been served with a search warrant or subpoena, it is imperative that you seek legal counsel right away.Remember, you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Politely decline to answer any questions and insist on speaking with a lawyer before proceeding. Many people make the mistake of trying to talk their way out of trouble, only to end up giving investigators ammunition to use against them later on.At Spodek Law Group, we can intervene quickly and start dealing with federal agents on your behalf. We will work to limit the scope of the investigation, prevent the execution of search warrants, and keep you from being called in for questioning. Our goal is to stop the investigation in its tracks or, failing that, to mitigate the fallout as much as possible.

Navigating the Federal Court System

Federal criminal cases follow a very different set of rules and procedures than state cases. The U.S. Constitution and the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure govern everything from grand jury proceedings to discovery to trial.At Spodek Law Group, we know the federal court system inside and out. We have represented clients in high-stakes federal cases across multiple jurisdictions. We know how to navigate the complexities of federal litigation and use every tool at our disposal to fight for your rights.From the moment you retain our firm, we will start preparing your case for trial. We will file motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence, challenge the admissibility of witness statements, and do everything in our power to put the prosecution on the defensive. If necessary, we are fully prepared to take your case to a jury and argue for a not guilty verdict.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Federal Defense Attorney

With so much at stake, the attorney you choose to represent you could mean the difference between freedom and a lengthy prison sentence. You need a lawyer with the skills, experience, and tenacity to go toe-to-toe with federal prosecutors and come out on top.At Spodek Law Group, we have a proven track record of success in federal criminal cases. Our attorneys include former prosecutors who have handled some of the most complex and high-profile cases in recent memory.

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!

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.

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.
