Lawyer for Persecuted People

Defending the Persecuted

When the System Fails, We Fight Hard For You

Being a criminal defense attorney isn’t just a job – it’s a calling for our team. Every day, we see people who’ve been wrongfully accused, or who made a mistake and deserve a second chance in life. We’re not your typical lawyers – we’re fighters, advocates for the persecuted and downtrodden. Regardless of who you are, we treat every case with passion, love, and passion. We treat you like family.

One of our clients in Las Vegas was accused of threatening a big-shot lawyer (that story even made the New York Daily News). Another was suspected of conning Manhattan’s elite, and even had a Netflix special made about her exploits (Redditors had a field day with that one).

We’ve defended people accused of stalking celebs like Alec Baldwin, with the case getting media attention.  We even represented a juror in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial who got accused of not being fully truthful during jury selection – a case that could’ve overturned the whole verdict.

We Are You Advocate

Prosecutors have huge resources and can make your life a living hell if they go after you. Our firm’s philosophy is about providing white glove,  top-tier service and winning for our clients. We treat every single client like family. We provide constant communication, excellent strategies, and a commitment to your success. That’s the Spodek way.And we’re not just blowing smoke here. We’ve got a reputation for excellence that’s recognized.

If you are looking for a lawyer that listens, is aggressive where needed, and holds his word above all else, Todd is the best pick. I had hired multiple attorneys prior to hiring the Spodek Group for a white collar case. The first thing that stood out to me was the cost, as anyone going through the process and dealing with the system, money was tight at that time - especially after hiring and firing multiple lawyers. The cost was not as high as others which was definitely a plus. Todd's intake process was also unlike other attorneys. He took the time to actually listen. He cared. He was trying to put himself in my shoes while I was explaining the situation to him and he really took the time to understand the whole situation. Other lawyers will give you 15 mins and send you a retainer agreement. Not Todd, I think he spent almost two hours with me as I was explaining everything.Not only was he great during the onboarding process, he was supportive and very informative through the entire plea process and eventually sentencing. After hiring him, I asked if I should hire a prison consultant, he told me to save my money as he would do everything they would. He was right and held up to his word. Later on I would hear from others that went with the prison consultants that they were a waste of money - I am glad I listened to Todd!When it came time for sentencing, two days prior to sentencing, the prosecutor tried increasing my proposed prison time by almost double - apparently a normal move. Todd and his team worked with me non-stop through the weekend prior to sentencing to ensure that I was not given additional prison time. Again, he took the time to listen and came up with a strategy to explain the case with great detail.Unfortunately, I did plead guilty as that was my best option. Todd and his whole team wrote up nearly 300 pages of a summary of what happened and why I should not be given prison time. If I breakdown the amount I spent with Todd versus the amount of work that I saw being done, I am shocked I was not charged four times as much. The other benefit was, a lot of criminal defense lawyers were just a single attorney with a paralegal or two. Todd had a team of people that I dealt with (5-7 people that I interacted with), but he was ALWAYS accessible. It would never take him more than an hour to reply unless he was in court.I was sentenced to prison and I was emotionally distraught. Todd and his team did whatever they could even after sentencing to make sure I was alright. He personally stayed in touch with my family to ensure I was doing alright and offered support to them. Most lawyers would consider the job complete at sentencing, not Todd.After prison, Todd still spent time with me to make sure I was on the right track and avoiding any potential risks in the future. He has also been giving advice on how to navigate probation etc and has not been looking at the clock for billing.Although I wish I had never been arrested in the first place, I am glad I had Todd and his team in my corner. Without them I likely would have had to spend a lot more time in prison than I did.Thank you, Todd, and the entire Spodek Law team, for helping turn what was a nightmare into a manageable situation!

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 recently had Spodek Law Group represent me for a legal matter in NYC and I am thoroughly impressed with their services.Alex Zhik secured the best possible outcome for my case.It was a seamless journey from the initial consultation to the resolution of my legal matter. From the moment I spoke to Todd about my case, his enthusiasm to help was evident, setting a positive tone for the entire experience. The efficiency and professionalism displayed by the team is commendable.A particularly noteworthy aspect of their service is their user-friendly portal to upload your documents/evidence. This not only simplified the process, but showcases their commitment to streamline the client experience.Lastly, in an industry where legal fees can often be a concern, I found their pricing to be very reasonable, making needing legal assistance feel accessible and stress-free.I am grateful for their support and wouldn't hesitate to turn to them again in the future.

The Injustice of Wrongful Accusations

Few things in life are more frustrating and demoralizing than being falsely accused of a crime you didn’t commit. Unfortunately, it happens way more often than it should. We’ve truly seen it all at Spodek Law Group. If you’re accused of a crime, we want you to reach out to our NYC criminal lawyer. We have over 50 years of combined experience handling tough state, and federal cases. Our New York criminal defense attorneys know how to win cases, even when they seem unwinnable.

Why You Need a Criminal Defense Lawyer

Look, nobody wants to be in a situation where they need to hire a NYC criminal attorney. Getting arrested, or charged with a crime, is one of those scenarios you don’t think will ever happen to you. Trying to navigate the legal system on your own is virtually impossible these days. The deck is stacked against you from the jump. Prosecutors have virtually unlimited resources. They have a team of investigators digging for evidence, and limitless resources. That’s why you need a top notch criminal defense lawyer immediately if you get arrested or charged, even if you think you’re innocent or it’s all just a misunderstanding. Having the right criminal attorney can be the difference between walking away a free person or spending years behind bars.

The Stakes Are Sky-High

The consequences of a criminal conviction are no joke. It can mean potential prison time that could derail your entire life. You could also face financial fines and a criminal record that will follow you around forever. There’s also the emotional toll on you and your loved ones.

We’ll Explore Every Possible Defense

The important thing about criminal charges is that they are super complicate. The devil is in the details. Our experienced defense attorney can uncover mitigating factors, violations of your rights, or mistakes that the prosecution made. Maybe the police mishandled evidence, or conducted an illegal search and seizure. Perhaps there are issues with how they obtained confessions, or witness testimony. Every single case is different, which is why you need a lawyer who will leave no stone unturned in crafting a defense.
