Wyoming Federal Criminal Lawyers.
The least-populated state’s federal court still sees the modern docket - crypto entities chartered under Wyoming’s DAO laws, energy and royalty fraud, I-80 interdiction, and Wind River’s Major Crimes jurisdiction.
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, modern docket.
Wyoming made itself the country’s crypto-charter capital - DAO LLCs and special-purpose depository institutions organized under its statutes - and the federal consequences follow: when a Wyoming-chartered entity sits in a fraud or money-transmission theory, the venue analysis runs through Cheyenne, and the district’s once-quiet white collar calendar has grown teeth. Energy remains the base economy and its docket: royalty and working-interest fraud, oilfield theft, and BLM-lands cases.
I-80’s interdiction corridor supplies drug conspiracies (the Tenth Circuit’s stop law governs, and it is litigable), Wind River carries Major Crimes Act jurisdiction, and wildlife and outfitting prosecutions round out a docket where every case gets senior attention because there are no anonymous files in a district this size.
Federal defense lawyers in Wyoming, small state, modern docket.
Crypto charters meet interstate stops.
Wyoming made itself the country’s crypto-charter capital - DAO LLCs and special-purpose banks organized under its statutes - and the federal consequences follow: when a Wyoming entity sits inside a fraud or money-transmission theory anywhere, the venue analysis runs through Cheyenne. Energy remains the base docket: royalty and working-interest fraud, oilfield theft, BLM-lands cases. I-80 interdiction supplies the drug conspiracies, and Wind River carries Major Crimes jurisdiction.
What you’re actually up against.
A district small enough that every case gets senior attention - there are no anonymous files in Wyoming. Tenth Circuit stop law on the I-80 files, litigable minute by minute. And in the entity cases, forensic tracing that reads your LLC’s life story before you’re contacted. The counter-map gets drawn first or it doesn’t matter.

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 -
