Why College Students Who Are Arrested Should Get Legal Help Immediately
The sooner our office is contacted, the sooner our attorney can start work on the following:
- Navigating the legal system: Criminal defense can be complex, and college students often lack the experience or knowledge to handle it alone. We’ll explain each step and help you understand what’s ahead.
- Negotiating with prosecutors: Depending on the evidence against you, it’s possible a plea bargain might be the best path. We’ll explore reduced charges and alternative sentencing. In the right circumstances, we’ll push for outright dismissal of charges.
- Protecting your rights: From interrogation to trial, we work hard to protect students' constitutional rights, including those against self-incrimination.
Colleges may act even if the criminal case is dropped. Here’s how we can help in dealing with disciplinary boards:
- Understanding their policies: Each college handles disciplinary cases differently. We’re familiar with the systems our local institutions use, and we make sure our clients stay in compliance with important deadlines
- Developing your defense presentation: What a student says during disciplinary investigations can affect both the school’s decision and the criminal case. We know how to craft responses that minimize potential harm.
- Advocating for your education: If the evidence is stacked against you, we can appeal for leniency or alternative sanctions, formulating arguments based on context, intent, or your academic record.
By getting our office involved right from the outset, we can help prevent early mistakes, such as speaking too freely with law enforcement or campus officials. Instead, we can focus on gathering evidence, contacting witnesses, coordinating strategy, and doing all we can to put together the strong defense you deserve.
Our goal in every case is to minimize the criminal consequences of the arrest, while doing everything in our power to protect your access to higher education.
