Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

Defenses in Drug and Human Trafficking Cases

In the realm of federal criminal defense, drug and human trafficking cases present unique challenges and complexities. However, with the right legal strategy and a skilled attorney by your side, there are various defenses that can be employed to challenge the charges and protect your rights.At the Spodek Law Group, our experienced Texas drug and human trafficking attorneys have a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in these cases and are well-versed in the available defenses. Let’s explore some of the most common defenses we employ:

Challenging the Legality of Searches and Seizures

The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures by law enforcement. In drug and human trafficking cases, evidence is often obtained through searches of homes, vehicles, or personal belongings. If these searches were conducted without a valid warrant or probable cause, our attorneys can challenge the legality of the search and seek to have any evidence obtained suppressed.This defense can be particularly effective in cases where law enforcement overstepped their authority or violated established procedures during the search and seizure process.

Questioning the Credibility of Witnesses and Informants

In many drug and human trafficking cases, the prosecution’s case may heavily rely on the testimony of witnesses or confidential informants. Our attorneys are skilled at thoroughly investigating the backgrounds and motivations of these individuals, and we will not hesitate to challenge their credibility if there are inconsistencies or potential biases.By casting doubt on the reliability of witness testimony, we can undermine the prosecution’s case and create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury.

Asserting Entrapment

The defense of entrapment can be raised in cases where law enforcement officials induced or persuaded an individual to commit a crime they would not have otherwise committed. If it can be proven that the defendant was coerced or pressured into participating in illegal activities by law enforcement, this defense can potentially lead to a dismissal of charges or a reduction in penalties.Our attorneys will carefully examine the tactics employed by law enforcement and the circumstances surrounding the alleged offense to determine if an entrapment defense is viable.

Challenging the Chain of Custody

In drug cases, the prosecution must establish an unbroken chain of custody for any physical evidence, such as controlled substances or drug paraphernalia. If there are gaps or irregularities in the handling and storage of this evidence, our attorneys can challenge the chain of custody and argue that the evidence may have been compromised or tampered with.This defense can cast doubt on the reliability and admissibility of key evidence, potentially weakening the prosecution’s case.
