University disciplinary hearings are very different from criminal court cases. Your student isn’t in any legal trouble with their university – the school administration doesn’t have the power to fine them or put them in prison.
However, the consequences can still be very serious, and it’s important that your student’s rights are protected throughout the disciplinary process.
A student defense attorney will have experience navigating this process that a criminal defense attorney likely won’t.
Student defense attorneys can help you and your student go over the university’s materials, prepare any documentation or statements, and prevent your student from saying or doing something incriminating.
We know how university administrators think, so we can help make sure your student isn’t being treated unfairly, and secure the best outcome for them at the end of the process.
