Lawyers to Defend Against Federal Drug Charges In Alabama and Nationally

When authorities come in with guns, badges and warrants, it's often the culmination of a long and multi-jurisdictional investigation. Federal prosecutors may be targeting a kingpin, but bring the hammer down on anyone caught up in the sting.

With mandatory prison terms for conviction, a top defense lawyer is not a luxury but a necessity. The Birmingham law firm of Parkman, Adams & White has obtained notable results in drug crime defense. We have represented clients nationwide on major federal drug charges:

  • Drug trafficking
  • Drug importation
  • Distribution of controlled substances
  • Criminal conspiracy
  • Continuing criminal enterprise
  • Money laundering
  • Civil asset forfeiture

Jim Parkman brings 30 years of experience as a criminal defense lawyer, including many high-profile federal drug charge cases:

— A drug kingpin case in Baltimore, Maryland involving someone characterized as the biggest drug trafficker on the East Coast

— A drug bust that Time magazine reported was the fifth-largest seizure in the U.S. at the time

Mr. Parkman and William White defended the owner of a trucking company accused of transporting over 2,000 pounds of marijuana. That client was found not guilty on a charge of heading a criminal enterprise and convicted only of one charge of simple possession.

In a state prosecution in Georgia, Martin Adams was successful in suppressing evidence central to the prosecution's case, obtaining a dismissal of a trafficking charge. While the State of Georgia appealed, Mr. Adams successfully fought and won the affirmance of this successful trial court ruling.

Parkman, Adams & White handles the big cases, major prosecutions that often combine the resources of the DEA, FBI, customs enforcement and state and local drug task forces. We can intervene if you suspect you are the target of a federal drug probe, and we mount an aggressive defense if you have been arrested or indicted.

Our experienced legal team attacks every facet of the case — informants and undercover agents, warrants and seizure of assets, interrogations and pleas offered to co-defendants. We aim for dismissal and prepare for a jury battle.
