If a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agent has contacted you regarding investigation for participating in a criminal enterprise or violating drug law, you face significant risk of federal offense charges. The DEA investigates, pursues, and prosecutes individuals believed to have violated the law across the United States.
Contact by DEA agents doesn’t automatically mean charges are pending. Sometimes the agency requests information or witness testimony. Even in these situations, an experienced criminal defense attorney prevents agents from catching you off guard or encouraging self-incrimination. Protecting your interests and reputation through experienced legal representation is critical.
Contemplate Your DEA Case with Spodek Law Group

Todd Spodek and his team have represented clients in over one thousand government investigations. Whatever your charges or accusations, Spodek provides proper legal advice and essential practical skills.
Are You a Witness or a Suspect?
Most individuals facing DEA investigation may not understand their case involvement. The DEA doesn’t disclose witness versus suspect status. When DEA agents contact you, first determine case details and your position. An experienced Los Angeles DEA defense attorney will then secure your case optimally.
Our primary goal is building professional relationships with agents and federal lawyers on client behalf. We steadily build your case rather than relying on grandstanding. Your case receives efficient, courteous handling by DEA agents and federal agency offices.
What Are the DEA’s Responsibilities?
The DEA assesses and investigates individuals and entities – doctors, pharmacies, health clinics – potentially engaged in controlled substance diversion or illegal controlled drug activity violating federal law. Obligations range from managing administrative cases through thorough criminal investigations of those suspected of engaging in suspicious controlled substance activity.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office, U.S. Attorney General’s Office, and DEA aggressively target healthcare institutions and professionals throughout California, including Los Angeles, for prosecution. Recently, federal Los Angeles agencies more aggressively enforce Controlled Substance Act Title 21 against local medical providers.
If concerned your case may be reported to DEA or feel targeted by DEA investigation, contact Los Angeles DEA defense lawyer Todd Spodek today.

Actually Stay Silent
Most people know they have the right to remain silent but still talk to police. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Politely decline to answer questions until your attorney is present.
Bail Conditions Are Enforceable
Violating bail conditions, even minor ones, can result in immediate re-arrest and make it much harder to obtain bail again. Follow every condition to the letter.

Frequently Asked Questions
New Jersey reformed its bail system in 2017. Instead of a cash-based system, judges now use a Public Safety Assessment (PSA) to determine whether a defendant should be released pretrial. Most defendants are released with conditions, while those deemed high-risk may be detained. An experienced attorney can argue for favorable release conditions at your detention hearing.
No. You have the constitutional right to remain silent and to have an attorney present during questioning. Anything you say to police can be used against you in court. Politely invoke your rights by saying "I want to speak with my attorney before answering any questions." This cannot be held against you.
Attorney fees vary based on the complexity of the case, the charges involved, and whether the case goes to trial. At Spodek Law Group, we offer transparent pricing and flexible payment plans. We provide a free initial consultation to discuss your case and give you an honest assessment of costs. Investing in quality representation often saves far more in the long run than choosing the cheapest option.
An arraignment is your first court appearance after being charged with a crime. The judge will read the charges against you, and you'll enter a plea (usually not guilty at this stage). The judge will also set bail or release conditions. Having an attorney at your arraignment is critical, as they can advocate for favorable bail terms and begin building your defense strategy from day one.
