Professional Journey
As a second-generation attorney following his father's footsteps since 1976, Todd Spodek has built a reputation as one of NYC's most formidable legal advocates.

After gaining big-firm experience, Todd A. Spodek attended Pace University School of Law in White Plains, New York. After law school, Todd joined a small criminal defense firm, appearing in court in NYC and throughout New York State daily, gaining a wealth of experience with criminal law and the complex criminal justice system.
Mr. Spodek's practice is split between criminal defense, and family and matrimonial law. He represents individuals and businesses in criminal investigations, grand jury investigations, violations, misdemeanor, and felony cases.
Mr. Spodek lives with his wife and son in Brooklyn, NY.
"As a child working for my father's law firm, I was intrigued by the courts and the criminal trial process. I knew early on that I wanted to try criminal cases."
