THE BEST LAWYER ANYONE COULD ASK FOR.

The BEST LAWYER ANYONE COULD ASK FOR!!! Todd changed our lives! He’s not JUST a lawyer representing us for a case. Todd and his office have become Family. When we entered his office in August of 2022, we entered with such anxiety, uncertainty, and so much stress. Honestly we were very lost. My husband and I felt alone. How could a lawyer who didn’t know us, know our family, know our background represents us, When this could change our lives for the next 5-7years that my husband was facing in Federal jail. By the time our free consultation was over with Todd, we left his office at ease. All our questions were answered and we had a sense of relief.

What Exactly is Bribery? Understanding the Charges

Bribery occurs when someone, offers a public official money, gifts, or other valuables – in exchange for influence over their official duties. Both the person offering the bribe, and the public official potentially accepting it, can face criminal charges.But it’s not always cut and dry. Sometimes what seems like a bribe, is simply a misunderstanding. Other times, an overzealous prosecutor tries to make a case, where there is none.That’s why it’s critical, to have a top bribery defense lawyer on your side. Someone who understands, the nuances and can fight for your rights.At Spodek Law Group, our elite team of former prosecutors, deeply understands bribery laws on both the state and federal levels. We know all the angles, the prosecution will try to use against you – and we‘re ready with a strategic defense.

Examples of Bribery Charges

To give you a better understanding, here are some common examples of bribery charges:

  • A contractor offers a city official money, to approve permits for their new development
  • A business owner gives an IRS auditor gifts, hoping to avoid penalties
  • Someone pays off a witness, to give false testimony in court
  • A citizen tries to bribe a police officer, to get out of a traffic ticket

As you can see, bribery charges cover a wide range of scenarios. But they all involve, an attempt to improperly influence a public official‘s actions or decisions.The penalties can be severe too – including hefty fines and potential jail time. That’s why you need, the most aggressive bribery defense possible.

Looking for any holes or inconsistencies, we can exploit to weaken the prosecution‘s case.Some common bribery defense strategies include:

Lack of Intent

For a bribery conviction, the prosecution must prove, you intended to improperly influence the public official. If we can show no corrupt intent existed – by highlighting misunderstandings, cultural differences, etc. – it becomes very difficult to prove bribery.

Entrapment

If law enforcement agents, actively induced or persuaded you, into offering a bribe through coercion or deceit – an entrapment defense may apply. Negating any criminal liability on your part.

Prosecutorial Overreach

Overzealous prosecutors, sometimes bring bribery charges, based on flimsy evidence or misinterpreted actions. Our attorneys know how to identify, and counter such overreach.
