New Hampshire Federal Criminal Lawyers.
A small district with a famous docket - the fentanyl pipeline through Manchester and Nashua, dark-web prosecutions that made national law, and fraud cases out of the no-income-tax economy.
Netflix told the story. The defense was ours.
When Shonda Rhimes built Inventing Anna, the defense at its center was Todd Spodek’s - argued for the so-called fake heiress in a Manhattan courtroom long before Arian Moayed of Succession played him on screen. What 320 million hours of viewers watched is the method every client of this firm gets, in every federal district.
The record, dated and sourced.
The district.
Small state, national cases.
New Hampshire’s drug docket is the fentanyl corridor: Lawrence-to-Manchester pipelines charged as conspiracies, with death-resulting counts under § 841 - and their twenty-year mandatory minimums - appearing here at one of the highest per-capita rates in the country. Those causation-heavy cases are a defense specialty of their own, litigated on Burrage but-for proof.
The district also punches above its weight in internet cases - dark-web marketplace and crypto prosecutions with national reach have run through Concord - and the state’s tax structure attracts fraud and money-movement cases tied to relocated wealth. First Circuit law governs, with its careful sentencing-procedure doctrine.
Federal defense lawyers in New Hampshire, small district, national cases.
The fentanyl corridor’s courtroom.
Lawrence-to-Manchester pipelines feed New Hampshire’s drug docket, and death-resulting counts - twenty-year mandatory minimums under § 841 - appear here at one of the highest per-capita rates in America. Those are causation trials: the government must prove the drug was the but-for cause of death, and Burrage makes that a real fight. The district also punches far above its weight online - dark-web and crypto prosecutions with national reach have run through Concord.
What you’re actually up against.
Overdose task forces that treat every death scene as a conspiracy map. Medical examiners whose findings decide decades. First Circuit review - careful, procedure-minded, worth briefing well. Death-resulting cases are the heaviest hammer in the federal drug arsenal, and they get beaten on toxicology and causation more often than anyone admits.

Todd A. Spodek is a second-generation trial lawyer whose defense of Anna Delvey became Netflix's Inventing Anna. He appears on Fox News and CNN as a legal analyst, authored "My Advice to Diddy" in The Spectator, and is quoted by the Associated Press when the biggest federal cases break. The record behind the profile: a complete acquittal in a $26M money-laundering trial, RICO charges carrying a 10-year minimum dismissed, and 6 months on a $12M Ponzi case.

Why this firm.
Five decades of federal courtrooms. Whatever the government has charged, this firm has defended it before.
No allegiance to U.S. Attorneys, agents, or agencies. The client is the only constituency.
Every district in the country, one client portal - documents, invoices, counsel, in real time.
We decline more federal matters than we accept - and every accepted case gets the whole bench.
The first 72 hours decide the next 72 weeks.
No interviews, no consents, no explaining, no deleting. The words said in hour zero are the exhibits at trial. Write down what was asked and by whom - then stop.
Privilege attaches, facts get mapped while memory is fresh, documents get preserved the right way, and nobody in your orbit talks to agents unrepresented again.
We contact the government as your counsel: target, subject, or witness gets confirmed, deadlines get calendared, and the defense - not the investigation - sets the tempo.
How your case unfolds.
THE FULL PROCESS →Risk-free, in person or by phone. Ask anything, for as long as it takes. Strategy starts the same day.
Subpoenaed inboxes and a drawn timeline - we engage prosecutors at the target-letter stage, where charging is still a choice.
Suppress the overbroad seizure, contest intended loss, redraw the timeline - and when trial is the advantage, intent gets tried on the whole inbox, not the excerpts.
On the record, on the wire.
Get ahead of the case.
Answered within 24 hours, guaranteed. Some stories are better told out loud -
