Hired Attorney

Going through a legal situation for the first time was incredibly daunting. I felt a mix of fear and anxiety, unsure of what steps to take next. That's when I decided to reach out to Spodek Law Group P.C. via email. Almost immediately, Alex from Spodek Law Group called me. He was not only incredibly... knowledgeable but also refreshingly honest and supportive. He took the time to understand my situation thoroughly and, right away, laid out a clear path forward. Given the minor nature of my case, he believed it had a strong chance of being dismissed even before a court hearing, which was a huge relief to hear. Alex promptly submitted my file and documents to a diversion program, which accepted my case. After completing the program, proof of my participation was sent directly to the District Attorney's office. Just two days later, I received a letter confirming that my case had been dismissed and would never even go to court. I cannot recommend Alex and Spodek Law Group P.C. highly enough. I am immensely grateful for the incredible support and exceptional legal service I received from him.

Alexander and Jeremy are best lawyers that I ever have delt with. He is very resposive, right to the point, and put you at ease.

My experience with Alex and Jeremy at Spodek Law was nothing short of phenomenal. I faced an urgent legal matter that needed immediate attention, so I searched online for lawyers and came across Spodek Law. I submitted a request early morning, and very soon, Alex was already calling me. From the very... first moment, I felt completely confident that I was in capable hands. Alex was exceptional—he patiently explained every step of the process, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood what to expect. As this was my first experience with a legal matter like this, his guidance and reassurance made a world of difference. He then connected me with Jeremy, who is an outstanding lawyer. Jeremy carefully listened to my concerns, clearly explained the steps to resolve the issues, and consistently responded to all my questions. Throughout the process, Jeremy was professional, responsive, attentive to detail, patient, kind, and genuinely committed to helping me. His expertise and confidence gave me a tremendous sense of comfort during a stressful time. Together, we reviewed the necessary documents and submitted everything to the appropriate departments. Jeremy provided clear follow-ups and guidance, making a challenging situation feel smooth and manageable. And the best part? It worked! I received a call confirming that my matter was resolved. I truly feel that Alex and Jeremy went above and beyond, helping me navigate a very difficult situation in my life. I cannot recommend Alex and Jeremy enough. They are confident, professional, approachable, and extremely skilled at what they do. I would trust them with any legal matter and would recommend them to all my family and friends. I am grateful for their time, effort, and dedication, and I will always be their client. Thank you, Alex and Jeremy, for everything—you truly made a difference, and saved me from a serious situation!!!!

False arrest, no evidence, full dismissal: Alex Zhik is the lawyer you hope you never need, but you’ll be so glad you hired.

After being falsely accused of assault by a mentally unstable neighbor, I submitted an urgent inquiry to the Spodek Law Group P.C. — and Alex called me back within minutes. From that moment forward, I knew I was in the right hands. My case was complicated and incredibly time-sensitive. The arrest ...had been made with no supporting evidence, and I was facing an arraignment in less than a week. Alex was not only a brilliant legal mind, but also a compassionate listener who immediately understood how destabilizing this had been for me. I was suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, and sleepless nights — and he treated me with real empathy and respect. He worked tirelessly to get in touch with the ADA ahead of my arraignment — even during the holiday weekend — and put together a case file so thorough and compelling it left nothing to question. He also spoke with the ADA less than 24 hours before my court date, which ultimately led to a full dismissal of the case. Alex kept me informed every step of the way: texting, calling, and emailing updates with zero delay. He and his team even made themselves available over the weekend, letting me know I could reach out anytime — even just to talk. That level of humanity is rare, and it meant the world to me during such a stressful time. He’s not just talented — he’s incredibly well-connected within the DA’s office, and it showed. His professionalism in the courtroom was unmatched, and his team, especially Sunday, was supportive and responsive throughout the process. Even though Alex was always available, he still CC’ed his team on outreach so there was never a chance of miscommunication. If you’re looking for an attorney who is strategic, compassionate, responsive, and fiercely effective, look no further than Alex Zhik. He exceeded every expectation, and I can’t thank him — and his team — enough!

Absolutely a Miracle Worker

When I first found myself facing a serious hit-and-run charge, I was overwhelmed, and incredibly anxious, almost certain that the outcome would be devastating for both me and my future. I had already started preparing myself for the worst, believing that a dismissal or even a favorable outcome was un...likely. However, Alex Zhik has truly defied odds with my case. Alex not only brought an extraordinary depth of knowledge about criminal defense law, but also an unwavering confidence that immediately reassured me. He carefully listened to my side of the story, asked the right questions, and explained the legal process in a way that was clear and approachable. What stood out the most was that he did not sugarcoat anything, he was realistic about the challenges. I was almost certain that the case would end up with a different outcome, but Alex was confident in getting my case dismissed completely and it was. Throughout the whole process, he was not only confident, but also kind and responsive. He was always quick to respond to my texts, no matter the time of day. If I ever needed to meet with him, he made himself available. Additionally, he knew how to handle the court system well enough for truly the best possible outcome that I did not even think was possible. Alex handled my case with complete transparency, kept me updated at every step, and made sure I always understood what was happening and why. He never made promises he couldn’t keep, but he consistently delivered more than I expected. I am writing this review in full support and admiration for who he is, both as a person and as a results driven, successful attorney. To anyone who is searching for a criminal defense attorney who will not only fight tirelessly for your case but also treat you with compassion and respect, I cannot recommend Alex Zhik highly enough. Alex’s hard work, kindness, and determination turned what felt like an impossible situation into a second chance at life. I will always be grateful for what he’s done for me.

Alex ZHIK is a FIVE STAR attorney

Alexander Zhik is a superior attorney. My 19 year-old son - who frequently acts as a child would, but is an adult in the eyes of the law - was arrested late in the evening two months ago. I didn't get a call from my son until 1am, when he told me he would be kept at the police station (in Manhattan)... overnight and would be taken to a courthouse at 7am. I did research on the internet, looking for an experienced criminal attorney with a good reputation. I learned about Alex Zhik and called his office at about 5am. Within two hours, I had spoken to Alex Zhik about my son's situation and signed a retainer. My son ended up being brought in front of the judge in the morning, and Alex strode in and introduced himself to my son and told the judge he was my son's attorney. The charges against my son - for disorderly conduct and carrying a small knife - were dismissed THAT DAY. Alex guided us through the process of making the dismissal official - which involved my son's taking a class - and Alex went to court last week to begin the process of getting the arrest expunged from my son's record. Alex Zhik has been efficient, considerate, and effective. Alex also struck up a rapport with my son that has led to improvement in my son's behavior. I give Alex Zhik FIVE STARS and recommend him without reservation,
