Drug Charges
Criminal Defense Attorney for Federal and Alabama Drug Charges
The war on drugs has been in full force since the Nixon administration, and the government only continues to pour more and more resources into making sure that people convicted of drug crimes go to jail. If you are facing drug charges, the best way to protect your freedom is to work with a dedicated and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney who is truly willing to fight for you.
The Law Office of Joseph Ingram, located in Birmingham, Alabama — defends people charged with state and federal drug crimes, including drug possession, conspiracy, importation, distribution and trafficking of drugs.
Regardless of the seriousness of the charges, the quantity or the type of drug allegedly involved, I can help. I have successfully handled the defense of drug charges related to a wide range of drugs:
- Marijuana
- Cocaine/crack
- Methamphetamine (crystal meth
- Heroin
- LSD
- Ecstasy (MDMA)
- Prescription narcotics
Federal Drug Crimes
The federal government has virtually unlimited resources to build a case against you. The government has four things that citizens do not have: time, money, resources and power.
Many federal drug charges start with an investigation by the government. Often, the DEA, ATF or FBI starts making inquiries. They may ask you to talk with them and to give a statement. The best strategy is to get a criminal defense lawyer immediately. Many people believe that they can explain things away, like making excuses for drug possession or trafficking, but they often end up placing themselves at risk for incriminating themselves.
Retaining an criminal defense attorney is also important because the consequences for a federal drug crime conviction are serious. Most federal drug charges involve mandatory minimum sentences ranging from five to 10 years, often with no chance of parole.
