Denver Federal Criminal Lawyers.
Spodek Law Group defends clients in the Mountain West’s money courtroom - investment and securities fraud, crypto, and cannabis-industry edge cases - two blocks from the Tenth Circuit that reviews it all.
Netflix told the story. The defense was ours.
When Shonda Rhimes built Inventing Anna, the defense at its center was Todd Spodek’s - argued for the so-called fake heiress in a Manhattan courtroom long before Arian Moayed of Succession played him on screen. What 320 million hours of viewers watched is the method every client of this firm gets, in every federal district.
The record, dated and sourced.
The courthouse.
Money cases, mountain time.
Denver anchors the region’s financial-fraud docket: investment schemes from the capital and energy economies, Ponzi and crypto prosecutions, and PPP cases still cycling. The cannabis industry’s federal edge - banking, § 280E, money-transmission theories - gets tested here first, and the aerospace-and-defense corridor south of the city adds procurement matters.
I-70 and I-25 interdiction supplies the drug calendar, Bruen-era firearms litigation is active, and the Tenth Circuit’s proximity makes appeal-aware trial work the local default - a posture this firm treats as standard everywhere.
Federal defense lawyers in Denver, money cases at altitude.
The Mountain West’s money courtroom.
Investment and securities fraud from the capital and energy economies. Ponzi and crypto schemes charged as wire fraud. PPP files still cycling. The cannabis industry’s federal edge cases - banking, § 280E, money transmission - tested here first. I-70 and I-25 interdiction beneath it, Bruen-era firearms litigation alongside, and the Tenth Circuit two blocks away.
What you’re actually up against.
FBI and IRS-CI financial squads with your records already indexed. Receivers and the SEC running parallel. And appellate review that is literally a neighbor - which makes preserved objections the local currency. Denver trial work is appellate work in progress. We build every record that way, everywhere; here it’s just more obvious.
Why Spodek Law Group.
We’re not your average federal defense firm - we get it. Securities, crypto, and cannabis-edge defense practiced against the government’s best; direct flights from both offices; local counsel where required. Document wars are won by teams that read everything - that’s what the whole bench is for.
The clock is already running.
An SEC inquiry. A receiver’s letter. Investors comparing notes. Denver’s money cases surface early and quietly - the declination window lives exactly there. The consultation is free. It’s confidential. It’s answered 24/7 - 212 300 5196. The government has a head start. Stop giving it a bigger one.
Any district is home ground.
Federal procedure is national - the same rules, the same guidelines, the same DOJ playbook in Denver as everywhere else. Denver is a direct flight from both offices; we appear in the District of Colorado with local counsel where required. Admission is handled by pro hac vice motion with local counsel where required, the client portal keeps every document and conversation in one place across any distance, and the person standing up in court is the lawyer you hired - not a referral.

Todd A. Spodek is a second-generation trial lawyer whose defense of Anna Delvey became Netflix's Inventing Anna. He appears on Fox News and CNN as a legal analyst, authored "My Advice to Diddy" in The Spectator, and is quoted by the Associated Press when the biggest federal cases break. The record behind the profile: a complete acquittal in a $26M money-laundering trial, RICO charges carrying a 10-year minimum dismissed, and 6 months on a $12M Ponzi case.
See who fights for you before you ever call.
Who we are, how we work, and why clients nationwide trust us with their future - in under a minute.
Why this firm.
Five decades of federal courtrooms. Whatever the government has charged, this firm has defended it before.
No allegiance to U.S. Attorneys, agents, or agencies. The client is the only constituency.
Every district in the country, one client portal - documents, invoices, counsel, in real time.
We decline more federal matters than we accept - and every accepted case gets the whole bench.
The first 72 hours decide the next 72 weeks.
No interviews, no consents, no explaining, no deleting. The words said in hour zero are the exhibits at trial. Write down what was asked and by whom - then stop.
Privilege attaches, facts get mapped while memory is fresh, documents get preserved the right way, and nobody in your orbit talks to agents unrepresented again.
We contact the government as your counsel: target, subject, or witness gets confirmed, deadlines get calendared, and the defense - not the investigation - sets the tempo.
How your case unfolds.
THE FULL PROCESS →Risk-free, in person or by phone. Ask anything, for as long as it takes. Strategy starts the same day.
Subpoenaed inboxes and a drawn timeline - we engage prosecutors at the target-letter stage, where charging is still a choice.
Suppress the overbroad seizure, contest intended loss, redraw the timeline - and when trial is the advantage, intent gets tried on the whole inbox, not the excerpts.
On the record, on the wire.
Get ahead of the case.
Answered within 24 hours, guaranteed. Some stories are better told out loud -
