Netflix
Inventing Anna
Todd Spodek served as lead defense counsel in the Anna Delvey (Sorokin) grand larceny trial—a case so extraordinary it became Netflix’s Inventing Anna, created by Shonda Rhimes. Actor Arian Moayed portrayed Spodek on screen.
The series brought unprecedented attention to the intersection of social engineering fraud, celebrity culture, and criminal defense strategy. Spodek’s real-world defense of Sorokin demonstrated the power of aggressive, creative trial advocacy in the face of overwhelming media scrutiny.
The case established Spodek as one of the most recognized criminal defense attorneys in the country and demonstrated his ability to manage complex, high-profile cases under intense public scrutiny.
