Criminal Defense
Spodek Law Group provides comprehensive criminal defense representation for state and federal charges. Our attorneys handle cases ranging from misdemeanors to complex felony prosecutions, including assault, drug crimes, and white-collar offenses. With decades of courtroom experience, we develop tailored defense strategies focused on case dismissal, reduced charges, or acquittal through evidence challenges and procedural violations.
Federal Charges
Our firm specializes in defending clients against federal criminal charges including drug trafficking, fraud, and conspiracy cases. We challenge evidence admissibility, negotiate with federal prosecutors, and litigate complex jurisdictional issues. Our team's deep understanding of federal sentencing guidelines and procedural rules helps mitigate potential penalties including prison time and asset forfeiture.
Orders of Protection
We defend clients accused of violating orders of protection in New York Family and Criminal Courts. Our strategies include challenging improper service, demonstrating incidental contact, and exposing false allegations. With mandatory arrest policies and severe penalties, our 24/7 legal team works to prevent convictions that could result in jail time, fines, and permanent criminal records affecting employment and housing.
Drug Crimes
The firm represents clients facing state and federal drug charges including possession, trafficking, and distribution. We challenge unconstitutional searches, laboratory errors, and chain-of-custody issues to suppress evidence. Our defense strategies address both street drugs and prescription medication cases, focusing on dismissal or reduction of charges that could lead to mandatory minimum sentences and driver's license suspensions.
Appeals
Spodek Law Group handles criminal appeals and post-conviction relief in New York and federal courts. We identify legal errors, constitutional violations, and sentencing irregularities to challenge unjust convictions. Our appellate team prepares detailed briefs and oral arguments to overturn wrongful verdicts or secure reduced sentences through higher court review processes.
