Indianapolis Federal Criminal Lawyers.
The crossroads of America’s federal courthouse - healthcare and med-tech fraud from the industry corridor, logistics-economy wire fraud, and the I-65/I-70 interchange’s drug docket.
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 courthouse.
Healthcare money at the crossroads.
Indianapolis’ federal docket runs on its industries: healthcare and medical-device fraud from the Lilly-anchored corridor (billing, kickback, and clinical-data cases), logistics and freight wire fraud from the distribution economy, and PPP prosecutions still cycling through. The pharmaceutical economy makes FDA-adjacent prosecutions a local genre.
Four interstates cross here, and the interdiction traffic feeds fentanyl and meth conspiracies; § 922(g) firearms adoptions run at volume. Seventh Circuit law governs - fast, rigorous, and intolerant of unpreserved arguments, which prices record-building from day one.
Federal defense lawyers in Indianapolis, healthcare money at the crossroads.
The Lilly corridor’s docket.
Indianapolis prosecutes its industries: healthcare and med-device fraud from the pharma corridor - billing, kickbacks, clinical-data files - logistics wire fraud from the freight economy, and PPP’s long tail. Four interstates cross here, and the interdiction traffic feeds fentanyl and meth conspiracies. Firearms adoptions run at volume. The Birch Bayh building works it all.
What you’re actually up against.
HHS-OIG data teams who flag practices before any complaint. FDA-adjacent theories in the device files. Seventh Circuit review - fast, rigorous, merciless on unpreserved arguments - which makes week-one record-building the whole difference. Indianapolis cases are quiet, methodical, and already staffed when you learn about them.
Why Spodek Law Group.
We’re not your average federal defense firm - we get it. Healthcare defense against strike-force methods is core practice - Indianapolis executives get the same team Miami and Detroit do. Two hours from New York, both Indiana districts, local counsel where required.
The clock is already running.
A payer audit gone quiet. A device recall with an agent’s follow-up. A sales rep subpoenaed. The crossroads’ cases build methodically - so should the defense, starting now. 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 Indianapolis as everywhere else. Indianapolis is a two-hour flight from New York; we appear in both Indiana districts with local counsel where required. 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.
See who fights for you before you ever call.
Who we are, how we work, and why clients nationwide trust us with their future - in under a minute.
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.

Answered within 24 hours, guaranteed. Some stories are better told out loud -
