THE BEST LAWYER ANYONE COULD ASK FOR.
The BEST LAWYER ANYONE COULD ASK FOR!!! Todd changed our lives! He’s not JUST a lawyer representing us for a case. Todd and his office have become Family. When we entered his office in August of 2022, we entered with such anxiety, uncertainty, and so much stress. Honestly we were very lost. My husband and I felt alone. How could a lawyer who didn’t know us, know our family, know our background represents us, When this could change our lives for the next 5-7years that my husband was facing in Federal jail. By the time our free consultation was over with Todd, we left his office at ease. All our questions were answered and we had a sense of relief.
As the founding partner of Spodek Law Group, I’ve seen my fair share of Office of Inspector General (OIG) subpoenas. And let me tell you, they‘re no walk in the park.These subpoenas, they come at you like a freight train, demanding documents, emails, financial records—you name it. It’s enough to make even the most seasoned healthcare professional break out in a cold sweat. But, here’s the thing, you can’t just ignore them. That‘s like trying to outrun a tornado, it ain’t gonna end well. At Spodek Law Group, we’re all about transparency. So, let me break it down for you, plain and simple. An OIG subpoena is a legal demand for information, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General. And when they come knocking, it usually means they suspect some kind of healthcare fraud or kickback scheme.Now, I know what you’re thinking, “I haven’t done anything wrong!” And you know what? That might be true.
But, the OIG doesn‘t care about your innocence, at least not initially. They’re like a bloodhound on the scent of a juicy steak, and they won’t stop until they’ve sniffed out every last crumb of evidence.That’s where we come in. At Spodek Law Group, we’re not just lawyers, we’re your personal legal bodyguards. Our team of former federal prosecutors and seasoned defense attorneys have seen it all. We know the ins and outs of OIG investigations like the back of our hands.And let me tell you, these investigations, they’re no joke. The OIG has a whole arsenal of legal weapons at their disposal, from the Anti-Kickback Statute to the False Claims Act. One misstep, and you could be facing criminal charges, hefty fines, or even prison time. Scary stuff, right?
But, fear not, my friends. We‘re here to guide you through this legal minefield, one careful step at a time. Our first order of business? Assessing the situation. We’ll comb through that subpoena with a fine-tooth comb, analyzing every word, every request, to determine the scope of the investigation.From there, it’s all about strategy. Do we negotiate with the OIG, limit the scope of the subpoena, or go on the offensive and challenge the validity of the investigation itself? Every case is different, and that’s why we take a personalized approach.Now, I know what you’re thinking, “But, what if I just cooperate? Wouldn‘t that make things easier?”
Well, my friends, that‘s a dangerous game to play. You see, the OIG, they’re not your buddies. They‘re not interested in your side of the story, at least not initially. They‘re looking for evidence, and anything you say or do could be used against you.That’s why, at Spodek Law Group, we always advise our clients to exercise their right to remain silent. Don’t talk to the OIG agents, don’t try to explain yourself, just let us handle it. We‘ll be your voice, your shield against the legal onslaught.And trust me, you’re going to need that shield. Because, these OIG investigations, they’re like a rollercoaster ride from hell. One minute, you’re cruising along, thinking everything’s fine. The next, you‘re plunging into a spiral of legal chaos, with subpoenas flying left and right, and the threat of criminal charges looming overhead.But, here’s the thing, we’ve been on this ride before. We know when to hold on tight, and when to let go. We’ll navigate those twists and turns with precision, always keeping your best interests in mind.And let‘s not forget, we’re not just dealing with the OIG here.
If you are looking for a lawyer that listens, is aggressive where needed, and holds his word above all else, Todd is the best pick. I had hired multiple attorneys prior to hiring the Spodek Group for a white collar case. The first thing that stood out to me was the cost, as anyone going through the process and dealing with the system, money was tight at that time - especially after hiring and firing multiple lawyers. The cost was not as high as others which was definitely a plus. Todd's intake process was also unlike other attorneys. He took the time to actually listen. He cared. He was trying to put himself in my shoes while I was explaining the situation to him and he really took the time to understand the whole situation. Other lawyers will give you 15 mins and send you a retainer agreement. Not Todd, I think he spent almost two hours with me as I was explaining everything.Not only was he great during the onboarding process, he was supportive and very informative through the entire plea process and eventually sentencing. After hiring him, I asked if I should hire a prison consultant, he told me to save my money as he would do everything they would. He was right and held up to his word. Later on I would hear from others that went with the prison consultants that they were a waste of money - I am glad I listened to Todd!When it came time for sentencing, two days prior to sentencing, the prosecutor tried increasing my proposed prison time by almost double - apparently a normal move. Todd and his team worked with me non-stop through the weekend prior to sentencing to ensure that I was not given additional prison time. Again, he took the time to listen and came up with a strategy to explain the case with great detail.Unfortunately, I did plead guilty as that was my best option. Todd and his whole team wrote up nearly 300 pages of a summary of what happened and why I should not be given prison time. If I breakdown the amount I spent with Todd versus the amount of work that I saw being done, I am shocked I was not charged four times as much. The other benefit was, a lot of criminal defense lawyers were just a single attorney with a paralegal or two. Todd had a team of people that I dealt with (5-7 people that I interacted with), but he was ALWAYS accessible. It would never take him more than an hour to reply unless he was in court.I was sentenced to prison and I was emotionally distraught. Todd and his team did whatever they could even after sentencing to make sure I was alright. He personally stayed in touch with my family to ensure I was doing alright and offered support to them. Most lawyers would consider the job complete at sentencing, not Todd.After prison, Todd still spent time with me to make sure I was on the right track and avoiding any potential risks in the future. He has also been giving advice on how to navigate probation etc and has not been looking at the clock for billing.Although I wish I had never been arrested in the first place, I am glad I had Todd and his team in my corner. Without them I likely would have had to spend a lot more time in prison than I did.Thank you, Todd, and the entire Spodek Law team, for helping turn what was a nightmare into a manageable situation!

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 recently had Spodek Law Group represent me for a legal matter in NYC and I am thoroughly impressed with their services.Alex Zhik secured the best possible outcome for my case.It was a seamless journey from the initial consultation to the resolution of my legal matter. From the moment I spoke to Todd about my case, his enthusiasm to help was evident, setting a positive tone for the entire experience. The efficiency and professionalism displayed by the team is commendable.A particularly noteworthy aspect of their service is their user-friendly portal to upload your documents/evidence. This not only simplified the process, but showcases their commitment to streamline the client experience.Lastly, in an industry where legal fees can often be a concern, I found their pricing to be very reasonable, making needing legal assistance feel accessible and stress-free.I am grateful for their support and wouldn't hesitate to turn to them again in the future.
