Dealing With Your School

When a student is charged with a crime, the school's disciplinary committee usually gets involved. Dealing with disciplinary boards can be challenging. The school may attempt to conduct a disciplinary proceeding before the criminal case is over, putting the student in a precarious position if they remain silent. You need a lawyer with experience in navigating these complexities. The school will often discontinue its investigation if the criminal matter is dismissed or if the student is acquitted. So, when possible, bringing the criminal case to a rapid and successful conclusion is the best option. But when that is not possible, you need a lawyer with experience in dealing with the problems of simultaneous criminal and academic proceedings.

Keeping Your Record Clean

I have a great deal of experience and expertise in fashioning pleas and sentences that avoid a record of a criminal conviction. This can be tricky work. You need someone who knows what they are doing.
