NETFLIX · 2022 · CREATED BY SHONDA RHIMES

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.

“Just like Sinatra had to do it his way, Anna had to do it her way.

50+ YEARS COMBINED · NATIONWIDE
01 · THE STAKES
Reputation, license, liberty

A white collar conviction takes more than time - it takes your profession, your accounts, and your name. Prosecutors bring virtually unlimited resources. We match them.

02 · HOW THESE CASES START
Subpoenas, audits, a knock

These cases rarely start with an arrest. A grand jury subpoena, a civil investigative demand, an SEC letter - the earlier counsel engages, the more can be saved. Sometimes the case ends before it begins.

03 · HOW WE FIGHT
Attack the paper

Fraud cases are document cases. We put investigators and forensic experts on the record, suppress what was improperly obtained, and negotiate from strength - 6 months on a $12M Ponzi case is what that looks like.

What we defend.

EVERY MATTER BEGINS WITH A FREE CONSULTATION
01 Securities & SEC matters SEC subpoenas, investigations, and securities-fraud prosecutions - engaged early, often before charges exist.
02 Wire & mail fraud The government’s favorite catch-all counts. Intent is the battleground, and the paper record is where we fight.
03 Healthcare & Medicare fraud Billing disputes recast as fraud - OIG subpoenas, audits, and indictments, defended nationwide.
04 Crypto & digital assets Lead defense in three major crypto prosecutions, including the $16M Coinbase phishing case.
05 PPP, EIDL & bank fraud Pandemic-loan prosecutions and bank-fraud counts where documentation and intent decide everything.
06 Money laundering & forfeiture A complete acquittal in a $26M money-laundering trial - and asset-forfeiture defense to get property back.

The questions everyone asks first.

ALL QUESTIONS, ANSWERED →
Q.01
I received an SEC subpoena - am I being charged?

Not yet - and that distinction is everything. A subpoena means an investigation, and the window where counsel can shape the outcome is open. What you produce, say, and sign now decides what happens later.

Q.02
Should I talk to federal agents?

Not without counsel. Lying to a federal agent is itself a crime - even an honest, nervous misstatement can become one. We speak for you, so nothing you say can be used to build the case.

Q.03
Can this end before an indictment?

Sometimes, yes. Pre-indictment engagement - proffers, presentations to prosecutors, corrected records - has ended matters before they began. The earlier we start, the more can be saved.

THE STANDARD
The defense in three major crypto prosecutions - including the $16M Coinbase phishing case.
