Client Testimonials
"If you're looking for the best federal criminal defense lawyers, I highly recommend Spodek Law Group."
When I was indicted on federal wire fraud charges, my world collapsed. Todd Spodek and his team immediately took control of the situation. They dismantled the prosecution's case piece by piece, identified weaknesses in the evidence, and negotiated with federal prosecutors. After 18 months of aggressive defense, all charges were dismissed. Their deep understanding of federal criminal law and former prosecutor experience made all the difference. I owe them my freedom.

"Todd Spodek saved me from 20 years in federal prison. His expertise in federal cases is extraordinary."
Facing RICO charges and a potential 20-year sentence was terrifying. The Spodek Law Group team worked tirelessly, bringing in expert witnesses, challenging wiretap evidence, and exposing procedural violations. Todd's experience as a former federal prosecutor gave us crucial insights into the government's strategy. We went from facing decades in prison to a complete acquittal at trial. Their dedication and skill gave me my life back.

"The best decision I ever made was hiring Spodek Law Group for my federal fraud case."
Charged with healthcare fraud involving $3.2 million, I was looking at 15 years minimum. The Spodek Law Group team's forensic accounting expertise and understanding of federal sentencing guidelines was incredible. They negotiated a deferred prosecution agreement that kept me out of prison entirely. Their connections with federal prosecutors and reputation in the Southern District of New York opened doors that saved my career and freedom.

AVVO REVIEW
"Professional, aggressive, and incredibly effective against federal prosecutors."
Alex Zhik and the team defended me against federal drug trafficking charges. They challenged the DEA's evidence collection methods, filed successful suppression motions, and ultimately got my charges reduced from trafficking to simple possession. What started as a 10-year mandatory minimum ended with probation. Their knowledge of federal criminal procedure and constitutional law is unmatched. Worth every penny when your freedom is on the line.

"They turned a federal nightmare into a manageable outcome. True experts in federal criminal defense."
Indicted on money laundering and tax evasion charges, I faced 25 years and asset forfeiture of everything I owned. Spodek Law Group's team brought in financial experts, challenged the government's tracing analysis, and negotiated with the DOJ Tax Division. They secured a plea to a single tax count with 18 months served at a minimum-security facility, and saved my home and retirement accounts. Their federal criminal expertise is simply unmatched.
