Criminal Defense

Former Federal Prosecutor on Your Side

For criminal defense lawyers with less experience, defending a client charged with a complex federal or state crime can prove to be a daunting task. Unfamiliar with the separate procedures used in federal and state courts, these inexperienced attorneys can miss steps, or make fatal mistakes on behalf of their clients. As a former federal prosecutor, and public defender, our lead attorney, Raymond Johnson, Jr., has the necessary experience to effectively defend clients charged with serious crimes.

Our firm offers clients Mr. Johnson's almost 30 years of criminal litigation and appellate experience. Clients from all over Alabama, including those in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, have sought out his skilled advice when charged with either a state or federal crime. To speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer about your case, contact us today.

We focus solely on the area of complex federal and state criminal defense. As such, we have a comprehensive understanding of the law, and the ritualistic processes and procedures of court. Our practice also has extensive experience dealing with prosecutors and law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, DEA, IRS, and ATF, among others.

Some of the charges we defend people against include:

  • Drug Charges: Federal and state drug charges including conspiracy, trafficking, manufacture, and distribution.
  • White Collar Crimes: White collar crimes relate to criminal charges against professionals and executives who are accused of using their position to engage in criminal activity, such as embezzlement.
