Federal Charges We Defend in Louisville
Federal Criminal Defense in Louisville: Healthcare Hub Meets Logistics Capital
Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Fraud: When Medicine Becomes Criminal Enterprise
Louisville federal prosecutors handle substantial healthcare fraud cases involving the city's major medical institutions and pharmaceutical operations, including cases involving Humana and other major healthcare companies headquartered in the region. The Gene Snyder United States Courthouse oversees prosecutions involving Medicare fraud, pharmaceutical billing violations, and complex schemes that exploit healthcare delivery systems. These cases require understanding of healthcare regulations, medical billing practices, and the complex financial arrangements between healthcare providers, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
The intersection of healthcare delivery and pharmaceutical distribution creates additional prosecution opportunities involving cases where legitimate medical operations may be exploited for illegal purposes, including prescription drug diversion, billing fraud, and elaborate schemes involving the manipulation of healthcare data and insurance claims.
Federal Sentencing Guidelines & Mandatory Minimums
The federal sentencing system in Louisville operates under strict guidelines that leave judges with limited discretion. Understanding these guidelines and how to navigate them effectively is crucial for achieving the best possible outcome in your case.
Federal sentences are calculated using a complex point system based on offense level and criminal history. Factors include:
- • Base offense level
- • Specific offense characteristics
- • Victim-related adjustments
- • Role in the offense
- • Obstruction of justice
- • Acceptance of responsibility
Certain federal crimes carry mandatory minimum sentences that judges cannot reduce:
- • Drug trafficking: 5-40 years
- • Firearms offenses: 5-25 years
- • Child pornography: 5-20 years
- • Identity theft: 2 years consecutive
- • Some fraud offenses: 2-10 years
Experienced attorneys can pursue various strategies to minimize sentences:
- • Safety valve provisions
- • Substantial assistance motions
- • Downward departures
- • Alternative sentencing programs
- • Pre-trial diversion
- • Plea negotiations
