Bronx Assault Lawyers

You’re facing assault charges in the Bronx. That was your first mistake – not hiring a top rated federal criminal defense attorney immediately. Prosecutors have been building their case while you waited, and now you’re terrified – and you should be. Assault charges carry mandatory minimum sentences of 10-20 years in federal prison. The federal government has virtually unlimited resources, and they’re coming after you. That’s where we come in. At Spodek Law Group – we’re not your average criminal defense law firm – we get it.

Your Situation is Dire – and Time is Running Out

You didn’t hire a lawyer immediately. That was a mistake. Federal conviction rates exceed 93% according to Department of Justice statistics. Without proper representation, you’re likely to become part of that statistic. You’re researching lawyers online instead of calling one. Every hour matters in federal cases. You don’t understand federal sentencing guidelines. You don’t know mandatory minimums. This knowledge gap will hurt you.

If you’re on our website, it’s because you’re in legal trouble – and need the best criminal defense attorney. At Spodek Law Group – we understand that, and take this very seriously. Our goal is to provide you the best possible legal representation at all stages of your case. Our top rated attorneys, have over 50 years of combined experience handling complex federal assault cases, we know what it takes to win – and we know how to fight the federal government.

Understanding Federal Assault Charges in the Bronx

Federal assault charges are serious business. Unlike state charges, federal assault cases involve attacks on federal officers, federal property, or crimes that cross state lines. If someone is arrested for assault in the Bronx, you need to understand the difference between state and federal charges – ASAP. Federal charges mean you’re facing the full weight of the United States government, and that’s not something to take lightly.

Under 18 U.S.C. § 111, assaulting a federal officer carries severe penalties. Simple assault can result in up to 1 year in federal prison and $100,000 in fines. But here’s the kicker— if there’s physical contact, you’re looking at up to 8 years. Use a weapon? That’s 20 years. These aren’t suggestions. These are mandatory minimums that judges must follow according to federal sentencing guidelines.

Types of Federal Assault Charges We Handle

• Simple Assault on Federal Officers – No physical contact required,up to 1 year imprisonment
• Aggravated Assault – Physical contact with intent to commit another felony, up to 8 years
• Assault with Deadly Weapon – Using weapon or causing serious injury, up to 20 years
• Assault on Federal Property – Attacks occurring on federal grounds like courthouses

Most people in your situation try to explain their way out. That’s how they end up convicted. The federal conviction rate is over 99% when cases go to trial. You think this is like state court. It’s not. Federal prosecutors have a 95% conviction rate overall.

Why Spodek Law Group is Different

We are one of the few law firms in the country have a completely online digital portal – which means we can handle your case from anywhere. Our premier federal defense team works 24/7 on your behalf. Unlike other law firms who are more focused on their relationship with prosecutors, we focus on winning your case. Many law firms are ‘mills’ and take on every single client – we don’t. We focus on only working with clients who we can truly help.

Todd Spodek is a second-generation attorney who has represented many clients. His experience has led to him handling thousands of tough cases. His work has resulted in him being featured on major media outlets, like NY Post, Newsweek, Fox 5, Business Insider, Bloomberg, and others. In 2022, Netflix released a special TV series about one of Todd’s clients: Anna Delvey. Todd Spodek – a prominent attorney, represented Anna Delvey, known as Anna Sorokin, in her high-profile federal fraud case.

Federal Assault Defense Strategies That Work

When facing federal assault charges, you need a defense strategy that actually works. Our top rated criminal defense attorneys know how to challenge federal prosecutors at every turn. We’ve handled some of the toughest cases nationwide – coast to coast – and have come out on top. Here’s what we do differently:

Self-Defense Claims

If a federal officer used excessive force, you had the right to defend yourself. We argued that our client’s behavior was not criminal but rather reflective of reasonable self-protection. The law allows reasonable force when facing unlawful attack – even from federal agents.

Lack of Intent

Federal assault requires willful action. If someone accidentally makes contact during a chaotic situation, that’s not assault. We examine every angle, every video, every witness statement to prove lack of criminal intent. Our team of lawyers has handled complex federal cases, and we have over 50 years of combined experience handling complex crimes.

Challenging Evidence

Federal prosecutors often rely on officer testimony. But officers make mistakes. Theyexaggerate. Sometimes they lie. We investigate every claim, depose every witness, and expose every inconsistency. That’s how we get the best possible outcome for our clients.

Our premier defense team includes former federal prosecutors who know how the government builds cases. We use that insider knowledge to dismantle their arguments piece by piece. Regardless of the situation you find yourself in, know that our criminal defense attorneys can help you. Regardless of where your case is in the USA, or the situation you’re dealing with, or the stage of the case, we can help you. Regardless of how complicated your case is, or how challenging it is – we can help you get the outcome you need and want.

The Consequences You’re Facing Are Real

You’re facing 10-20 years. That’s not speculation. That’s the sentencing guideline for your charge. Federal judges follow these guidelines strictly. Without proper representation – you will serve time. Your future is in jeopardy, your family’s future is at stake, and every decision you make from this point forward will impact the rest of your life.

Federal assault convictions mean:

• Mandatory federal prison time – no exceptions
• Permanent criminal record that follows you forever
• Loss of voting rights, gun rights,and professional licenses
• Difficulty finding employment or housing
• Deportation if you’re not a U.S. citizen

This isn’t meant to scare you—it’s meant to wake you up. You need an attorney who has won federal cases. Not state cases. Federal cases. There’s a difference. Our rock star team of attorneys understand federal law, federal procedures, and most importantly – how to beat federal prosecutors at their own game.

Recent Federal Assault Cases in the Bronx

The Southern District of New York has been aggressive in prosecuting federal assault cases. In 2024, eleven members of a Bronx gang were sentenced for federal assault charges, receiving sentences ranging from 12 to 24 years. These cases show the federal government’s commitment to harsh prosecution.

Just last year, four Bronx men were charged with federal assault after a shootout near a school. The federal prosecutors didn’t hesitate— they charged everyone involved with maximum penalties. That’s what you’re up against. That’s why you need attorneys who get it.

Why Time Matters in Federal Cases

Federal investigations move fast. By the time you receive a target letter, they’ve been investigating for months. Every day you wait is another day prosecutors build their case against you. Our white-glove service means we start working immediately – 24/7 availability, immediate response, and aggressive representation from day one.

What Makes Federal Assault Different

Federal assault isn’t just any assault charge. When someone attacks a federal officer, the entire weight of the federal government comes down on them. Federal law defines assault broadly – you don’t even need to make physical contact. A threatening gesture, spitting, or even throwing something can constitute federal assault.

The federal system is designed to convict. Unlike state court where deals are common, federal prosecutors rarely negotiate. They have a 99.3% conviction rate because they only bring cases they know they can win. That’s why you need attorneys who know how to challenge their evidence, question their witnesses, and expose their weaknesses.

Common Federal Assault Scenarios

Federal assault charges often arise from:

• Confrontations with FBI, DEA, ATF agents during investigations
• Incidents at federal buildings,courthouses, or properties
• Altercations with postal workers, IRS agents,or other federal employees
• Resisting arrest by federal officers
• Threats made against federal judges or prosecutors

Each scenario requires different defense strategies. Our team of criminal attorneys know a thing or two about beating federal assault charges. We have over 50 years of combined experience. We have handled some of the toughest cases and have come out on top.
