Drug Charges

Criminal Defense against Federal and Local Drug Charges

The government has been waging a war on drugs since the Nixon administration. As a result, the United States has an ever expanding prison system that seems designed for two things: harsh punishment and private profit. The government continues to dedicate more and more resources into making sure that people convicted of drug crimes go to prison and suffer catastrophic penalties. Meanwhile, private prisons continue to spring up and our citizens continue to be the victims of an endless war. There is little incentive for law enforcement officials and politicians to reconsider drug sentencing guidelines or drug law. The public seems committed to support “tough on crime” stances even when those stances lead to a misguided justice system. If you have been accused of a drug crime, the only defense is a strong criminal defense lawyer whose priority is the United States Constitution.

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. At the Law Office of Joseph A. Ingram there is nothing more important to us than your rights. Call us now at 205-335-2640 for the ally you need against federal and state prosecutors who want to see you persecuted for alleged drug crimes.

We routinely—and successfully—defend people charged with state and federal drug crimes, including drug possession, conspiracy, importation, distribution and trafficking. We have helped countless clients out of the deepest legal troubles. We can help you. Contact us as soon as possible after your arrest—and before you speak to police—so that we can provide a shield against those who wish to see you suffer.

Regardless of the charges, the quantity, or the type of drug allegedly involved, we will use all of our experience to defend your legal rights. We have successfully handled in numerable cases related to drug charges including:

• Marijuana distribution, cultivation and importation
• Cocaine and crack powder possession and with intent to sell
• Methamphetamine (crystal meth) manufacturing
• Heroin possession and importation
• LSD possession and manufacturing
• Ecstasy (MDMA)possession
• Prescription drug possession without a valid prescription

We can defend you in local and state courts and we are tremendously experienced in federal courts as well. The federal penalties can carry particularly horrific consequences if you are convicted. Federal judges must impose mandatory minimum penalties; this can lead to decades or even life imprisonment, debilitating fines, and loss of your assets like your home, and vehicles. The federal government seems to believe that winning the war on drugs is possible. In their zealous and misguided attempts, they often persecute the innocent and violate the rights of our fellow citizens. We will fight back.

Before you are arrested, before you talk to police or federal agents, and certainly before you go to trial, contact us online or call our Birmingham area law office at 205-335-2640. We offer free consultations 24 hours a day. Call us now.
