Florida Federal Criminal Lawyers.
The healthcare-fraud capital of America, the maritime drug docket, the crypto wave, and three U.S. Attorney’s offices that indict more fraud than most countries - Florida is a federal practice unto itself.
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 districts.
The fraud capital, prosecuted accordingly.
Miami’s federal courthouse sees more healthcare fraud than anywhere in America - the Medicare strike forces invented their playbook here - alongside money laundering through the banking and real-estate economy, crypto prosecutions, and the maritime drug docket fed from the Caribbean. The Middle District’s three metros carry the same genres in volume; Tallahassee adds state-government corruption.
Florida juries convict and Florida sentences run long - the Eleventh Circuit’s guideline and loss-amount law is government-friendly, which moves the real fight earlier: charging decisions, loss theories, and the pre-indictment window where this firm does its most valuable Florida work. This desk already publishes a shelf of Florida-specific briefs - records, reductions, supervision - because the demand never stops.
Federal defense lawyers in Florida, the fraud capital of America.
Miami wrote the strike-force playbook.
The Southern District of Florida prosecutes more healthcare fraud than anywhere on earth. Add laundering through the banking and real-estate economy, crypto collapses, and a maritime drug docket fed from the Caribbean - then multiply through Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville. Florida’s federal courts are a national fraud venue with palm trees. The government treats them that way. So should you.
What you’re actually up against.
Billing analytics that flag providers before any human complains. Cooperating recruiters and marketers. Eleventh Circuit law that runs the government’s way on suppression and loss. And juries that convict. All of it moves the real fight earlier: the charging decision, the loss theory, the presentation that keeps a provider a witness instead of a defendant. Miss that window and you’re trying the hardest case in the country in the hardest circuit to try it.
Why Spodek Law Group.
We’re not your average federal defense firm - we get it. Over 50 years of combined experience. Thousands of federal cases since 1976, second generation. The Sorokin defense became a Netflix series. The R. Kelly witness matter made the AP wire. When federal cases break, the press calls this firm - and prosecutors know exactly which defense lawyers try cases. It changes every conversation about yours.
S.D. Fla. is a recurring appearance district for this firm - a morning flight, with Miami local counsel already in place. Healthcare strike-force defense, laundering and forfeiture litigation, crypto matters: the practice fits this docket because it was built on dockets like it.
The clock is already running.
Florida warns you: the audit that goes quiet, the ZPIC letter, the bank that suddenly exits. Engaged early, these matters resolve administratively. Engaged late, they resolve in the Ferguson courthouse. The consultation is free. It’s confidential. It’s answered 24/7 - 212 300 5196. The government has a head start. Stop giving it a bigger one.
Any district is home ground.
Federal procedure is national - the same rules, the same guidelines, the same DOJ playbook in Florida as everywhere else. This firm is a recurring appearance district here - S.D. Fla. matters are a morning flight from New York, and the Miami local-counsel relationships are already in place. Admission is handled by pro hac vice motion with local counsel where required, the client portal keeps every document and conversation in one place across any distance, and the person standing up in court is the lawyer you hired - not a referral.

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 -
