This guy is a professional. He helped get my wife’s charges dropped. My wife left an extended clip of hollow point bullets in the bottom of her purse ( we are from the south and shoot a lot). We then tried to enter the One World Trade Center and the clip was detected.This was a felony charge. He work...ed late to 1:00am and was up early the next morning to be there for her in court. He treated the case like it was his own friend or family on the line. Super professional and helpful. Todd Sodek as well gave great response time and on the spot helped me through the fast pace first few hours after the arrest. Worth every penny these guys are on it.

Part 2

Alexander is truly a blessing in the skies. Not only has he helped me with my case, but he has helped me in other personal ways as well. I talked to him when I was in jail and when I got out, he was very helpful in assisting me to get me back my passport from the court and the phone the police took.... He is not only my lawyer, he’s a big brother to me. From day one when I got the consultation with him I knew I wanted to retain him. With Alex, you don’t have to worry about a single thing. He will let you know everything that’s going on step-by-step. Alex and the team know what they’re doing and they’re worth every penny I would highly recommend them for any criminal matter.

#1 best criminal lawyer in NYS. Real life Harvey Spector.

I was unexpectedly blindsided by a criminal case involving my local municipality in upstate New York. From July 2025 through February 2026, the experience took an enormous mental and physical toll on me. It became nearly impossible to focus on work while dealing with the stress and uncertainty of the... case. Every attorney I spoke with advised me to accept a plea and simply comply with the authorities. It truly felt like the odds were stacked against me. The situation was especially devastating because I am a farmer, and my livelihood depends not only on my work but also on the well-being of my animals. While I was at work one day, someone opened the door to my home and let my dogs out. Despite this being completely outside of my control, the municipality attempted to pursue charges and even sought to confiscate my dogs. The thought of losing them — and the impact it would have on my farming operation — was heartbreaking. When I was on the verge of giving up and accepting a plea, I decided to make one final call. At 9 p.m., we contacted Spodek Law’s hotline and explained my situation. Within five minutes, Alex Zhik responded personally and told me he would take the case. At the time, I was under significant financial strain — trying to manage legal fees while continuing to support myself and care for my farm and animals. I was upfront about my circumstances, and Alex treated me with understanding and respect. He worked with me on a payment plan and reassured me that we would get through it. Alex personally drove several hours to appear in court and built a thoughtful strategy to mitigate the situation. He guided me through every step and helped execute a plan that ultimately resolved the case. In the end, we were able to settle the matter with a small fine and close the case without further consequences. Most importantly, he eliminated the risk of me losing my beloved dogs and ensured that the case would not continue in a way that could jeopardize my farming livelihood. His responsiveness, dedication, and strategic approach made all the difference during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I am deeply grateful for his representation and would highly recommend him to anyone facing a difficult legal 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!
