The High Stakes of Federal Criminal Cases

Let’s be real – facing federal charges is no joke. The feds don’t mess around. If you’ve been indicted, you’re up against the full might and resources of the U.S. government. The penalties for federal crimes are often much harsher than state-level offenses. We’re talking potentially DECADES in federal prison and crippling fines that could bankrupt you and your family.Some common federal crimes we handle in Bucks County include:

• Drug trafficking and distribution
• White collar crimes like fraud and embezzlement
• Weapons charges
• Cybercrime and identity theft
• Tax evasion
• Public corruption

No matter what you’ve been accused of, one thing is clear – you NEED an experienced federal criminal defense attorney in your corner. This is NOT the time to rely on a public defender or a lawyer who mainly handles state cases. Federal law is a whole different ballgame.

“I was facing 20+ years on federal drug charges. Spodek Law Group got my case dismissed. I can’t thank them enough.” – J.R.

“The feds were trying to make an example out of me in a white collar case. Spodek’s lawyers fought tooth and nail and got me an incredibly favorable plea deal.” – S.T.

Understanding the Federal Criminal Process

If you’re new to the federal criminal justice system, it can seem confusing and intimidating. Let’s break down the key stages:

1. Investigation: Federal agencies like the FBI, DEA, or IRS investigate potential crimes, often for months or years before making arrests.
2. Grand Jury: A grand jury reviews evidence and decides whether there’s probable cause for an indictment.
3. Indictment: Formal charges are filed against you.
4. Arraignment: You appear in court to hear the charges and enter an initial plea.
5. Discovery: Both sides exchange evidence and information about the case.
6. Pretrial Motions: Your lawyer may file motions to suppress evidence, dismiss charges, etc.
7. Plea Bargaining: Your attorney negotiates with prosecutors for a favorable plea deal.
8. Trial: If a plea deal isn’t reached, your case goes before a jury.
9. Sentencing: If convicted, the judge determines your sentence based on federal guidelines.
10. Appeals: You may be able to appeal your conviction or sentence to a higher court.

At every stage of this process, having a skilled Bucks County federal criminal lawyer by your side is CRUCIAL. We know how to navigate each step to protect your rights and fight for the best possible outcome.

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!

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.
