Less Than 1% of Federal Drug Crime Defendants Go to Trial
When facing an investigation from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), it only takes a matter of weeks to quickly realize how overwhelming federal law enforcement can be. The DEA targets healthcare providers suspected of violating the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), drug manufacturers suspected of making and selling illegal drugs, individuals suspected of forming unlawful conspiracies, and a host of other alleged bad actors.
With Spodek Law Group, You Will Stand a Fighting Chance
If you know that you are under DEA investigation, the DEA is likely already well on its way toward building a federal drug crime case against you. While this is bad news for several reasons, it is also good news in the sense that it means you have time and an opportunity to defend yourself.
If you are truly under federal investigation, you don’t want to make the mistake of waiting. The longer you wait, the less time your Texas DEA defense lawyers have to target factors that could lead to DEA investigators pursuing different charges.
We Represent Drug Crime Defendants Throughout Texas
At Spodek Law Group, we represent healthcare providers, manufacturers, distributors, dispensers, and other drug crime defendants throughout Texas. Federal authorities with the DEA’s Houston Division frequently target individuals in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and El Paso. The DEA has field offices in numerous Texas cities including Amarillo, Beaumont, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Eagle Pass, Galveston, Laredo, Lubbock, McAllen, San Antonio, and Waco.
Our Texas DEA criminal defense attorneys handle all types of internal DEA investigations and federal drug crime cases, including:
Health Care Fraud
The DEA has joined in the DOJ’s efforts targeting healthcare providers suspected of healthcare fraud, particularly providers who prescribe opioid pain medications. The DEA targets healthcare providers with other federal agencies including the FBI, CMS, HHS, MFCU, and OIG.
Drug Manufacturing, Distribution, and Dispensation
The DEA also targets companies, healthcare providers, and other individuals suspected of illegal manufacturing, distribution, and dispensation of prescription drugs and illegal drugs. 21 U.S.C. Section 841 provides severe criminal penalties for those who would conspire to manufacture, distribute, or dispense a controlled substance.
Drug Crime Conspiracy
Under 21 U.S.C. Section 846, the conspiracy does not actually need to result in the commission of a federal drug crime. Merely agreeing to violate the Controlled Substance Act can be grounds for a federal drug crime conspiracy prosecution.
If you are facing the possibility of being targeted in a DEA investigation or are already facing charges, you need to speak with an experienced Texas DEA defense lawyer right away.

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.
