Most criminal defense law firms treat clients like a conveyer belt. They don't care about service necessarily. They have quotas, and that's about it. We're different.

We're selective about how many new clients we take on each month, which means if we do decide to help you – you can count on optimal service and results. We prefer working with less clients, because it allows us to dedicate more resources to helping them get better results. Unlike other attorneys, we don't assign non-attorneys to handle the bulk of the work on your case. Our dedicated criminal defense lawyers do the majority of the work on your case. When you hire us, you have an attorney who focuses exclusively in criminal defense law. Being accused of a crime is a turning point in your life – shouldn't you have a law firm whose focused on you? We treat your case – as if it were our own family member's. That's the Spodek Law Group difference.

The 6th amendment guarantees you the right to a lawyer. No such rights exist in civil lawsuits, which makes this constitutional right a true blessing. However, the quality of representation matters significantly.

When facing federal criminal charges, you need an attorney who specializes in federal criminal defense. Federal cases differ significantly from state cases in terms of procedures, sentencing guidelines, and the resources available to prosecutors.

Public defenders, while necessary to the legal system, often carry enormous caseloads and may not be able to dedicate the time and resources your case deserves. They work for the state and may prioritize maintaining relationships with prosecutors and judges.

A private criminal defense attorney can provide personalized attention, thorough investigation, and aggressive defense strategies. We have the resources to hire expert witnesses, forensic analysts, and investigators when needed.

Federal cases often involve complex legal issues, extensive discovery materials, and sophisticated prosecution tactics. Having an experienced federal criminal defense attorney can mean the difference between conviction and acquittal.

We understand federal sentencing guidelines, mandatory minimums, and how to negotiate with federal prosecutors. Our team knows how to identify constitutional violations and procedural errors that can lead to dismissed charges.

In federal criminal cases, the stakes couldn't be higher. Your freedom, reputation, and future are on the line. Don't settle for anything less than exceptional legal representation.

Any defendant who is accused of a crime is entitled to have adequate legal representation. You have the right to a lawyer, even if you can't afford one. Often, defendants will be given a criminal attorney by the court on a pro bono basis.

The problem is that the public defender is being paid for by the government. It means he/she will care about their reputation with the local court and will not take unnecessary risks in order to help you. They care about their reputation more than your freedom.

As a result, you should consider hiring a private criminal lawyer if you're accused of committing a crime. Criminal cases are built on evidence, and your attorney can help discredit evidence the prosecution tries to introduce.

Your criminal lawyer can evaluate all of the evidence, and apply the law to ensure the evidence was acquired properly. Arresting officers have to follow arrest protocols, and adhere to the constitution, when collecting evidence. Often, police officers make mistakes that violate your rights.

When you retain a criminal lawyer, he/she can question the officers' statements, as well as the evidence. For example, if the evidence is tainted, the attorney can have it thrown out of court.

Having an attorney who is WILLING to go that far is important when your future is at stake. Never plead guilty to a criminal charge when you are innocent, because criminal records can have a major impact on your life.

It could be grounds for denial of government benefits, employment, and housing. Let our federal criminal lawyers defend you and protect your rights.

Going to court can be frustrating. It's a scary experience. This is especially true when you're facing serious criminal charges. Federal prosecutors are trying very hard to reduce crime and secure convictions.

When you have an aggressive criminal defense attorney, you have a better chance of fighting felonies and misdemeanors. Federal cases are particularly challenging because of the resources available to federal prosecutors.

Some cases involve complex financial crimes that require forensic accounting expertise. Others involve international elements or multiple jurisdictions. Drug cases may involve wiretaps and confidential informants.

Violent crime cases often rely heavily on witness testimony and forensic evidence. Each type of case requires a different defense strategy and specialized knowledge.

The complexity also depends on the amount of evidence, the number of co-defendants, and whether the case involves conspiracy charges. Federal conspiracy cases can be particularly challenging because you can be held responsible for the actions of others.

At Spodek Law Group, we have experience handling all types of federal cases, from simple to extremely complex. We have the resources and expertise to handle even the most challenging federal criminal cases.

After an arrest, you'll be processed and potentially held for arraignment. This is when having an experienced criminal defense attorney is crucial.

Warrants are something which can only be vacated after an appearance before a judge. You have to go to the county where the case is being heard. You must have information like full name, date of birth, date of arrest, etc. Typically there is an appearance list, in the lobby of the courthouse. Defendants are listed by either their docket number or name. If your name isn't on the calendar you must go to the central clerk's office. If you miss your court date you have to speak to your attorney immediately to address the warrant before you're arrested.

This is an official court document that has the Court's seal on it which states what happened in your criminal case. It says what crime you were charged with, what you were convicted of, and then says the date you were convicted and the sentence you received. It's likely when you apply for a job they'll ask for a certificate of disposition. Different courts have different processes. You will likely have to go to the court that sentenced you. If a case is sealed and you're applying for certain jobs, you may need special authorization to access it.

Our white collar division focuses on criminal investigations and cases all across the country. We've got experience representing clients dealing with major felonies, ranging from simple wire/mail fraud to complex financial crimes.

White collar crimes typically involve financial fraud, including securities fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, and insider trading. These cases often involve extensive paper trails and require detailed financial analysis.

If you're facing criminal charges, it's likely you stand to lose your freedom and liberties. The stakes are VERY HIGH. You need a criminal attorney who has skills and judgment to know when to fight the prosecution and when to negotiate.

We understand the complexities of white collar criminal defense. Our attorneys have experience dealing with forensic accountants, analyzing complex financial transactions, and challenging the government's interpretation of financial data.

The penalties for white collar crimes can be severe, including lengthy prison sentences, substantial fines, restitution, and forfeiture of assets. Having experienced counsel is essential to protecting your rights and freedom.

Our criminal attorneys are well versed in federal criminal laws, especially those dealing with violent crimes. Federal prosecutors are working very hard to get convictions in violent crimes, and to set examples in order to discourage people from committing them.

Examples of violent crimes can include murder, manslaughter, assault, robbery, kidnapping, and crimes involving weapons. Federal jurisdiction applies when crimes cross state lines, occur on federal property, or involve federal officers.

Our federal criminal lawyers give you a fair and unbiased opinion of what we think the likelihood the prosecution will succeed in their mission during the initial consultation. We examine the evidence, witness statements, and legal precedents.

Violent crime charges carry severe penalties, including mandatory minimum sentences and potential life imprisonment. Having experienced defense counsel is critical to protecting your rights and freedom.

Once you've gathered all of the necessary information, it's time to prepare and file the forms. New York courts require a relatively large number of forms, which vary depending on whether or not you have children. After making sure that your forms are correct and complete, you'll need to file a Summons and Complaint with your County Clerk's Office. Some courts also allow for e-filing, so be sure to check the e-filing county list to see if this option is available to you.

Often most cases come down to evidence and understanding how evidence was gathered. Our attorneys scrutinize every piece of evidence, every witness statement, and every procedural step taken by law enforcement.
