Federal Crimes Attorney
Criminal Defense Lawyer for Federal Crimes
Many people who face possible conviction for a federal crime feel a great deal of fear and worry about the effects of a conviction on their future. The best way to fight the worry is to have a strong lawyer advocating for you.
At my Birmingham law office, attorney Joe Ingram represents people facing allegations of involvement in a wide range of federal crimes:
- White collar crimes
- Drug crimes
- Federal firearms and weapons law
- Internet cases involving child pornography/solicitation of a minor across state lines
- Identity theft or fraud
- Federal bank robberies
White Collar Crimes
Joe Ingram, represents clients who have been charged with — or are under investigation for — federal white collar crimes such as money laundering, embezzlement, mail fraud, bank fraud, Internet fraud, computer fraud, credit card fraud, check fraud and other white collar crimes.
Federal Weapons Charges
Federal weapons charges are most frequently brought in connection with other federal charges, such as federal drug charges. If you are caught with a weapon during an arrest on a federal charge, it is likely that federal weapons charges will also be filed. Weapons charges could add many years to a sentence if you are convicted.
Federal Drug Crimes
The war on drugs has been in full force for over 30 years. The government continues to prosecute drug cases at a high rate. Over the years, the focus has shifted from marijuana and cocaine, to crack cocaine and crystal methamphetamine. The types of drugs have changed but the way the government prosecutes these cases has remained the same.
Joe Ingram defends individuals charged with federal drug crimes, including conspiracy, importation, distribution and trafficking of a full range of drugs — marijuana, powder cocaine and crack, crystal meth and heroin.
Most federal drug cases involve mandatory minimum sentences ranging from five to 10 years. This serious jail time warrants an experienced federal criminal attorney. If you have been charged with a drug crime, please contact Joe Ingram today for a free initial consultation.
How the Federal Sentencing Guidelines Apply to You
In your free initial consultation with me, I will take a close look at your situation, helping you understand how the U.S. sentencing guidelines may apply in your case. Sentencing for federal crimes is based on two things: your criminal history and the level of offense you are accused of committing. Federal sentences are more harsh than state sentences and I will help you to understand what you may be facing.
