He has studied extensively in medicine and the educational background makes him especially qualified to defend individual accused of crimes ranging from Capital Murder, Intoxication Manslaughter/Assault, Sexual Assault to Driving While Intoxicated.. All criminal defense cases are challenging. Defending an individual accused and prosecuted by the state, the police, all of the forces of government, this requires considerable training and experience. Many people wonder "Why would a lawyer who is qualified to handle capital murder or aggravated sexual assault cases also handle misdemeanor DWI cases?" The fact of the matter is that DWIs can be some of the most complex and difficult cases that exist. Successfully defending a DWI case requires an in depth understanding of science, law and human nature. DWI also accounts for the greatest number of actual innocent people charged with a crime. Every good lawyer enjoys a challenge and every good lawyer enjoys seeing innocent people acquitted (found not guilty) by juries. Mr. Goeke will represent you as an individual and treat your case as the most important case there is--because IT IS!  Conviction for ANY crime can have a long term negative impact on you.
