Defending College Students in Monroe County

For most students, going off to college or university is the first time they are living outside the home, independently and unsupervised. They are focused on furthering their education and taking steps toward building meaningful careers and lives.  Unfortunately, even good kids can find themselves in dangerous situations, being participants in or witnesses to acts that infringe the school’s code of conduct or break the law.  Unfortunately, when things get out of hand or when the police make mistakes, these students can end up facing criminal charges in a system unfamiliar to them and their parents. 

Consequences Of Criminal Offenses On a College Campus 

All colleges have a code of conduct that regulates student behavior on, and many times, off campus.  Criminal convictions, in addition to the legal consequences, carry very serious ramifications, including suspension or expulsion, termination of financial aid, grants, or loans, and a criminal record that will appear on any background check future employers conduct.  Foreign students may also face deportation.  With such numerous and serious consequences at stake, students need an experienced and trusted advocate who will work closely with them and their families.
