THE BEST LAWYER ANYONE COULD ASK FOR.

The BEST LAWYER ANYONE COULD ASK FOR!!! Todd changed our lives! He’s not JUST a lawyer representing us for a case. Todd and his office have become Family. When we entered his office in August of 2022, we entered with such anxiety, uncertainty, and so much stress. Honestly we were very lost. My husband and I felt alone. How could a lawyer who didn’t know us, know our family, know our background represents us, When this could change our lives for the next 5-7years that my husband was facing in Federal jail. By the time our free consultation was over with Todd, we left his office at ease. All our questions were answered and we had a sense of relief.

Nebraska Federal Grand Jury Subpoena Defense

April 2, 2024

Nebraska Federal Grand Jury Subpoena Defense

If you’ve received a federal grand jury subpoena in Nebraska, it’s crucial to understand your rights and obligations. A federal grand jury subpoena is a serious matter that requires immediate attention from an experienced criminal defense attorney. At our law firm, we have a team of skilled federal lawyers who can guide you through this complex process and protect your interests.

What is a Federal Grand Jury Subpoena?

A federal grand jury subpoena is a legal document that compels you to appear before a grand jury to provide testimony or produce documents related to a criminal investigation. The grand jury is a group of citizens who hear evidence presented by federal prosecutors and determine whether there is probable cause to believe a crime has been committed.

Unlike a trial jury, a grand jury does not determine guilt or innocence. Instead, its purpose is to decide whether there is enough evidence to bring criminal charges against a suspect. Grand jury proceedings are secret, and witnesses are not allowed to have an attorney present during questioning.

What Should You Do if You Receive a Federal Grand Jury Subpoena?

If you receive a federal grand jury subpoena, the first thing you should do is contact an experienced criminal defense attorney. Do not attempt to handle the situation on your own or ignore the subpoena. Failure to comply with a subpoena can result in serious consequences, including contempt of court charges and fines.

Your attorney can help you understand your rights and obligations under the subpoena. They can also communicate with federal prosecutors on your behalf and work to protect your interests throughout the process. In some cases, your attorney may be able to negotiate with prosecutors to limit the scope of the subpoena or even have it withdrawn entirely.

What are Your Rights When Testifying Before a Federal Grand Jury?

If you are called to testify before a federal grand jury, you have certain rights that you should be aware of. These include:

  • The right to invoke your Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination if your testimony could be used against you in a criminal case
  • The right to have an attorney present outside the grand jury room to advise you during breaks in questioning
  • The right to review any documents or evidence you are asked about before testifying
  • The right to receive immunity from prosecution in exchange for your testimony (in some cases)

It’s important to discuss these rights with your attorney before testifying. They can help you understand how to assert your rights and protect yourself during the grand jury process.

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!

Throughout the entirety of my case, Alex exhibited unparalleled professionalism and unwavering commitment. What sets Alex apart is not only his legal expertise but also his genuine compassion for his clients. He took the time to thoroughly explain my case, alleviating any concerns I had along the way. His exact words were “I’m not worried about it”. His unwavering support and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire process. I am immensely grateful for Alex's exceptional legal representation and wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled criminal defense attorney.

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.

What are the Potential Outcomes of a Federal Grand Jury Investigation?

There are several potential outcomes of a federal grand jury investigation:

  • The grand jury may decide there is not enough evidence to bring charges, and the investigation will be closed
  • The grand jury may issue an indictment, which is a formal accusation of criminal charges against one or more suspects
  • The grand jury may issue a “no bill,” which means they did not find enough evidence to bring charges
  • Federal prosecutors may use information gathered during the grand jury investigation to pursue plea negotiations or bring charges through other means

Regardless of the outcome, it’s important to have an experienced criminal defense attorney by your side throughout the process. They can help you navigate the complex legal system and work to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
