Federal Drug Conspiracy
Federal Drug Conspiracy Attorney in Evansville, IN
Defend Your Future with Experienced Federal Representation
A federal drug conspiracy charge is one of the most serious drug-related offenses you can face. These cases often involve large-scale investigations, mandatory minimum sentences, and aggressive prosecution. If you’ve been accused of participating in a drug distribution network or trafficking scheme—even if your role was minor—you need skilled legal defense.

At the law office of John Andrew Goodridge, we have over 25 years of experience representing individuals in both state and federal court. We offer clear guidance, strong advocacy, and personalized legal strategies to help you navigate the complexities of the federal justice system.
What Is a Federal Drug Conspiracy?
Federal drug conspiracy charges are brought when two or more individuals are alleged to have agreed to commit a drug offense, such as manufacturing, distributing, or possessing with intent to distribute a controlled substance. You do not have to be caught with drugs in your possession to be charged—just evidence of participation in the agreement can be enough to trigger federal charges.

These cases often involve surveillance, wiretaps, confidential informants, and high-profile task forces. With the stakes this high, you need a defense attorney who understands how to examine the government’s evidence and build a strong defense.
