Federal Subpoenas for Digital Evidence: What the Government Can Obtain

If you’re reading this instead of calling a lawyer, you’re already making your first mistake. Let me be clear: Federal prosecutors have a 95% conviction rate. You’re not special. You’re not smarter than the system. You’re about to become another statistic because you think Google can save you.

At Spodek Law Group – we understand that you’re panicking, making bad decisions, and wasting precious time. Our goal is to save you from yourself before it’s too late. We’re not your average criminal defense law firm – we get it. You don’t. Todd Spodek, our managing partner, is a second-generation attorney who has handled thousands of cases from people just like you—people who thought they could handle it themselves. His work has resulted in him being featured on major media outlets, like NY Post, Newsweek, Fox 5, Business Insider, Bloomberg, and others. In 2022, Netflix released a special TV series about one of Todd’s clients: Anna Delvey.

Here’s What You Don’t Know About Federal Digital Evidence – And Why Your Ignorance Will Destroy You

You’re sitting there thinking you can delete emails or clear your browser history. Newsflash: It’s too late. Federal agencies already have everything. They issued subpoenas to your email provider, your ISP, your cloud storage—all without telling you. And you’re just now figuring this out? Pathetic.

Here’s what they already have—while you’ve been googling “how to beat federal charges”:

• Every email you’ve sent or received – Including the ones you deleted
• Your entire browsing history – Yes, including incognito mode (you idiot)
• All your social media – Even the “private” messages you thought were safe
• Everything in your cloud storage – Those photos and documents you forgot about
• IP logs connecting you to every online action – They know it was you
• Metadata you don’t even understand – Timestamps, locations, device IDs

You don’t know what a sentencing guideline is. You can’t explain the difference between a target letter and a subpoena. You probably think “mandatory minimum” is a suggestion. The 2025 federal sentencing guidelines will bury you – and you’re too ignorant to even know why.

The Government Has Unlimited Resources – You Have a Google Search

Let me spell this out for you: You’re facing federal charges. The FBI has a team of analysts going through your data. The DOJ has prosecutors who eat cases like yours for breakfast. And what do you have? A few hours of internet research and a false sense of confidence. You’re bringing a knife to a gunfight—no, you’re bringing a spoon.

Our attorneys, actually know what they’re doing, unlike you. We have over 50 years of combined experience cleaning up messes from people who thought they were smart. We’re one of the few law firms in the country have a completely online digital portal—because we actually understand technology, unlike you who thought “delete” meant “gone forever.”

You need someone who has beaten federal prosecutors. Not your cousin who “knows a lawyer.” Not the attorney who handled your DUI. You need someone who gets it – and clearly, that’s not you.

Why You’re About to Lose Everything—And Deserve It

You think federal court is like traffic court. Wrong. You think you can talk your way out of this. Wrong again. You’re probably considering representing yourself to “save money.” Congratulations on the dumbest decision of your life. Digital evidence convictions are nearly automatic when defendants try to outsmart the system.

HeWeargued with idiots like you every day who think they’re different. When this could be the end of your life as you know it, you’re price shopping for lawyers. The prosecutors – and the DOJ – are building an airtight case while you’re reading Yelp reviews.

Regardless of how stupid your decisions have been so far, our criminal defense attorneys might still be able to save you. Regardless of where your case is in the USA, how badly you’ve screwed up, or how much evidence you’ve already given them, we can try to fix your mess. Regardless of how complicated your case is – and trust me, you’ve probably made it worse – we might be able to get you an outcome that doesn’t involve decades in prison.

Your “Defense Strategy” Is Garbage – Here’s What Actually Works

Let me guess your brilliant plan: Deny everything? Claim you were hacked? Say someone else used your computer? Congratulations, you just described every failed defense in federal court history. You need our rock star team of attorneys who actually understand how to defend these cases—not your amateur hour ideas.

Real defense strategies (that you’d never think of):

• Constitutional challenges you don’t understand – There are complex Fourth Amendment issues you can’t even pronounce. 2025 policy changes created openings you’d never find
• Authentication requirements you’ve never heard of – The government must prove digital evidence hasn’t been altered
• Chain of custody issues beyond your comprehension – One mistake in handling can exclude evidence
• Technical defenses requiring actual expertise – Not your “I work in IT” nonsense
• Suppression motions you couldn’t draft with a template – This isn’t fill-in-the-blank law

So, what do you do, if you get hit – with one of these things? You stop being an idiot and call us immediately. Our top rated federal criminal defense attorneys are available 24/7—because unlike you, we understand that federal cases don’t wait for business hours.

You’re Looking at Decades in Prison – But Sure, Keep Googling

You’re facing 10-20 years minimum. That’s not a maybe. That’s not negotiable. That’s what happens when amateurs play lawyer. The 2025 federal sentencing guidelines overhaul eliminated the loopholes you were hoping for. You’re done.

Federal investigations have been watching you for months—maybe years—while you lived in blissful ignorance. By the time you got that subpoena or target letter, they already had everything they needed. And what were you doing? Nothing. Living your life like consequences don’t exist.

Todd Spodek is a second-generation attorney who has saved countless idiots from themselves. His experience has led to him handling thousands of tough cases—most from people who made every mistake you’re making right now. When you’re facing federal charges involving digital evidence—you need someone who gets it. You clearly don’t get it. We get it.

Every Second You Waste Makes You Dumber

Right now, while you’re reading this article for the third time trying to find a loophole, the government is preparing your indictment. They’re organizing your emails into exhibits. They’re creating timelines from your metadata. They’re building a case so solid that your public defender will beg you to take a plea.

Our nationwide team of federal criminal lawyers have over 50 years of combined experience fixing disasters created by people like you. We’re available 24/7 – coast to coast – because federal agents don’t care about your schedule. Unlike other law firms who coddle you and tell you “everything will be okay,” we’ll tell you the truth: You’re in deep trouble and you need help NOW.

If you have received a target letter, or federal authorities have contacted you, and you’re still “thinking about it”—you’re an idiot. You don’t have time to think. You don’t have options. You need an experienced New York criminal lawyer – ASAP. This isn’t a decision—it’s survival.
