Criminal Defense Lawyer in Bedford, Kentucky

Bedford is the Trimble County seat, a small community along the Ohio River in north-central Kentucky. The Trimble County courthouse in Bedford sees a range of criminal matters, from DUI to drug offenses to domestic violence. Clark + Harris defends Bedford clients with the depth and rigor of our Lexington and Louisville trial practices.

The Trimble County Court

Trimble County is part of the 12th Judicial Circuit with Henry and Oldham counties. The Bedford courthouse handles District and Circuit Court matters, though the docket is smaller than in neighboring Oldham County.

Common Bedford Charges

Clark + Harris handles:

DUI under KRS 189A.010
Drug possession and trafficking under KRS 218A
Assault and domestic violence under KRS 508
Theft and burglary under KRS 514 and 511
Firearms offenses under KRS 527
Terroristic threatening under KRS 508.078 and 508.080

Our Defense Strategy

We investigate every aspect of the case, obtain complete discovery under RCr 7.24, and identify constitutional issues. We file motions to suppress under the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments when the facts support it, and we pursue pretrial diversion under KRS 533.250 for eligible first-time offenders.

Limited Court Days

Because Trimble County is small, court days are limited. Scheduling is therefore critical, and we make sure every filing, motion, and appearance occurs on time.

Expungement

After a favorable outcome, we help Bedford clients pursue expungement under KRS 431.073, 431.076, and 431.078. A clean record supports employment, housing, and licensing opportunities.
