We have a proven track record of success in federal courts throughout North Carolina and nationwide.

Why You Need an Experienced Federal Defense Lawyer

Federal criminal cases are very different from state cases. The stakes are higher, the prosecutors are more aggressive, and the rules and procedures are unique to the federal system. Without an attorney who specializes in federal defense, you’ll be at a major disadvantage.Some key reasons you need a knowledgeable federal defense lawyer:

• Federal sentencing guidelines are extremely harsh, with mandatory minimums for many offenses
• Federal prosecutors have virtually unlimited resources to build a case against you
• Evidence rules and trial procedures in federal court are distinct from state courts
• Federal investigations often go on for months or years before charges are filed
• Constitutional issues like search and seizure are handled differently in federal cases

At Spodek Law Group, we have decades of experience navigating the federal criminal justice system. We know how to challenge evidence, negotiate with prosecutors, and build a strong defense strategy tailored to federal court. Don’t risk your future by hiring an attorney who lacks federal experience.

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.

Federal Criminal Defense FAQs

What’s the difference between federal and state charges?

Federal charges are prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in federal court, while state charges are handled in state court. Federal crimes typically involve offenses that cross state lines, occur on federal property, or violate specific federal laws. Federal cases also tend to carry harsher penalties.

Should I cooperate with federal investigators?

No – not without an attorney present. Anything you say can be used against you, even if you’re innocent. Always consult with a lawyer before speaking to federal agents or prosecutors.

What are the potential penalties for federal crimes?

Penalties vary widely depending on the specific charges, but many federal crimes carry mandatory minimum sentences of 5-10 years or more. Fines can reach into the millions of dollars for some offenses.

Can state charges become federal charges?

Yes, in some cases. If a crime crosses state lines or violates both state and federal law, it may be prosecuted federally. Having an experienced lawyer can sometimes help keep a case in state court.

How long do federal investigations take?

Federal investigations often last months or even years before charges are filed. If you suspect you’re under investigation, it’s crucial to get legal counsel immediately.

What should I do if I receive a federal grand jury subpoena?

Contact an attorney right away. A grand jury subpoena means you’re likely involved in a federal criminal investigation. Don’t speak to investigators or testify without legal representation.
