Read Covington and Cincinnati personal injury lawyer and criminal defense lawyer Ameer's most recent publication on addiction and criminal justice reform published in the Northern Kentucky Tribune. It was cited in another good article published in the Kentucky Law Journal. The "war on drugs" has long since failed.  Criminal justice's favorite tool has always been a hammer so they continue seeing every problem as a nail. We are not going to incarcerate, or hammer, our way out of addiction (or other criminal justice issues such as socioeconomic, institutional, and cognitive biases) so further criminalization and harsher penalties, especially when unevenly enforced, only continues to irreparably destroy the  lives of people we all could otherwise help and save.

News interview about another wrongly accused client

The felony charges against criminal defense lawyer Ameer E. Mabjish's client in this Covington case, including assault on a police officer, were ultimately dropped. The bouncers were wrong. The police officer was wrong. Our client was not guilty. 

Watch the full documentary "Heroin USA" with Soledad O'Brien

Sincere gratitude to all that helped make this happen throughout Covington, Newport, and all of Greater Cincinnati and those who found the strength and courage to share their knowledge, experiences, and heartbreaking stories with the world. For all the lives lost to addiction, we will not stop fighting for what is right. Your lives are not forgotten. Life is too easily taken for granted. We all must do better. Continued criminalization is not a solution.
