Defense Against Charges Of Crimes On School Premises
Crimes that occur in an academic setting often have unforeseen consequences, including administrative action by the school or school board. At [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-2″], we are experienced in handling these types of charges and helping our clients protect their rights against suspension and expulsion.
For Students
Given our experience in juvenile defense, we are an established resource for students accused of criminal activity on school grounds. We frequently work with students and their parents to provide comprehensive support, whether it involves trying a case in criminal court or representing the student before the school board.
Many young people make mistakes, and it is not fair for a mistake to affect the rest of your life. We will help you mitigate the consequences of criminal allegations in order to protect your academic career, your record and your long-term future.
Many crimes, such as weapons offenses or drug violations, have enhanced penalties when they take place within a certain distance from a school. Call [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-2″] at [nap_phone id=”LOCAL-CT-NUMBER-1″] to learn more.
