Drug Charges

Northern Kentucky Drug Crime Lawyer

Today's political climate demands that prosecutors aggressively pursue drug crime cases. If you are facing drug charges, you are fighting determined prosecutors with the power of the government’s resources behind them. If convicted of a drug crime, you face serious consequences, including significant prison time and a loss of basic civil rights. A strong and effective defense lawyer will work to protect your rights and freedom.

I experienced in defending against drug crime charges. I have represented numerous individuals accused of drug crimes, including both state and federal drug charges. I have even represented defendants who faced mandatory life sentences for drug trafficking in federal court, and I have represented individuals who were convicted of drug trafficking on appeal.

My practice, the Law Office of Thomas F. Goeke, Jr. PLLC, represents individuals who have been charged with all types of drug crimes, including:

  • Possession of drugs and narcotics, including cocaine, heroin, marijuana, meth, and OxyContin
  • Possession with intent to distribute
  • Distribution of illegal drugs
  • Illegal drug trafficking
  • Manufacture of methamphetamine
  • Prescription fraud
  • Possession of drug paraphernalia
  • Forfeiture
  • Related firearms charges

Thorough Investigation and Case Preparation

Law enforcement officers, confidential informants, and prosecuting attorneys make mistakes, even in cases involving federal drug charges. In my experience, exhaustive investigation of the facts and events leading to a drug arrest can uncover critical details that provide the basis for a successful defense strategy. These mistakes may even lead to the suppression of evidence and dismissal of a charge.

Throughout the entire legal process, we will work closely to maximize our chances of success. I am familiar with defense strategies based on improper searches and seizures, and I have successfully employed these defense strategies when they have been necessary. I am also intricately familiar with state and federal sentencing guidelines, and I know how to negotiate downward departures from those guidelines when a dismissal of charges or victory at trial are not viable options.
