When you’re facing a federal issue, you need an attorney whose going to be available 24/7 to help you get the results and outcome you need. The value of working with the Spodek Law Group is that we treat each and every client like a member of our family.

Indianapolis Federal Criminal Lawyers

When you are charged with a federal crime in Indianapolis, it is like entering a bizarro world where things no longer seem so rosy in life. Your friends may start to distance themselves from you. And your relationships can become strained. It seems like everyone is eager to kick you when you are down and unwilling to provide help. Your only chance of avoiding some of the serious consequences of a federal crime is hiring experienced trial counsel.

Although the trial is no longer the main event in the U.S. court system because plea-bargaining has taken over, the pre-trial work that your attorney puts into the case is critical to obtaining a lenient plea deal or winning at trial with a strong defense. Our law firm has extensive experience in the following areas of federal criminal law:

  • Drug trafficking
  • Kidnapping
  • Computer crimes
  • Entrapment defenses/stings
  • Safe Neighborhood Act violations
  • RICO/racketeering cases
  • Identity theft
  • Credit card theft
  • Terroristic threats
  • Immigration
  • And many other types of cases …

How We Help Clients Throughout the Federal Criminal Process

Because we have decades of experience studying law, we have a working knowledge of critical cases and rules. This spares us the mistakes of novices and helps us to engineer winning defense strategies. We are thorough and will work with you to develop the off-record evidence. Whether we need to hire private investigators, expert witnesses, or we simply have to sit down to discuss events for perspective, we know what to do at every phase of the case.

Statements to Agents/Police

Sometimes, the Feds work with local law enforcement to build a case. Regardless of how they operate, the Feds are known for using tricks to fabricate evidence. One of these tricks may be speaking to you about something other than a crime and then changing the subject. If they arrest you and think that you’ll lawyer up and remain silent, they may try to find other ways of approaching you. And when they discuss anything with you, they may record it and use it as evidence to help eliminate proving many elements of their case.

For example, if you even admit that you were at a location where a crime occurred, you have given them 90 percent of the case right there. They are trying to lock you into a narrative, so that they can find a way to criminalize whatever you may have done. This is why it is important to always call us when you speak with any official regarding anything. They may plead at your concern that something happened somewhere and may not accuse you of anything until they lock you into a script. They may also arrest you and use coercive techniques such as false promises or threats to compel testimony. In any case, having an attorney from our law firm present and remaining silent is your best defense.

Bail Hearings

You absolutely need a qualified attorney to help you during bail hearings. At a bail hearing, we can work to lower your required bail bond and try to limit any conditions of release. Helping you return to work and your daily routine is the most effective way of fighting a federal case. You do your work and let us do ours. Staying in prison can lead to stabbings, sickness, and intercepted communications that weaken your defense.

Plea Bargaining

In order to effectively leverage a deal, we need to consider the strength of potential defenses and evidence in your favor. If we preserve powerful arguments in your favor before a trial is scheduled, this can pressure the prosecutor to release you with the shortest sentence possible. If the prosecutor wants to play hardball, we have issues preserved for appeals.

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!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.

Trial

We file numerous pre-trial motions to ensure that no unfair evidence practices occur at the trial. The officials will try to fabricate evidence out of thin air when they don’t have a solid case. Hearsay evidence, character assassinations, previous crimes, and even words taken out of context can all be used to inflame a jury when the proof is lacking. Put your trust in our law firm to do everything possible to defend you.
