A Strong Defense for College Student Crimes

Blog, Criminal Defense

College is a stressful time for many people. Students are worried about getting good grades so they can get into graduate school or land the most coveted positions. Many students adopt a “work hard, play hard” mentality. After studying hard all week, students are ready to blow off some steam on the weekends.

Unfortunately, if you get caught drinking and driving or using illegal drugs, everything you have worked for is at stake. If you are a college student who is facing criminal charges, it is important to contact an experienced lawyer to protect your freedom, criminal record and future.

Criminal Charges College Students Face

If you are arrested for criminal activity, you may be worried about the impact the charges will have on the rest of your life. Some students worry about losing their scholarships, becoming ineligible to play at sports or how a criminal record will look on their resume. I defend college students who are facing charges for crimes, including:

  • Drunk driving (DUI)
  • Drug possession
  • Car accidents and leaving the scene of an accident
  • Theft and shoplifting
  • Destruction of property

Many college students are able to apply for a youthful offender status. If this is granted, the court record is sealed, and you can truthfully state that you have not been arrested. Protect your future by contacting a lawyer who will fight aggressively defend your college student crime.

Domestic Violence

An Aggressive Defense Against Domestic Violence Charges

Married people fight. It is an innate characteristic of many marriages. Although fighting is normal, sometimes anger gets blown out of proportion. In a rage of anger, men may threaten their wives and women may hit their husbands. In a calm state of mind, most people recognize that that behavior is not acceptable, but when tempers are flying, some people have a hard time controlling their actions.

Unfortunately, that does not make the criminal charges any less real. If you are facing charges for domestic violence or spousal abuse, the actions of a few angry fights could change the rest of your life. It is important to find a lawyer who will help protect your freedom.

Consequences of Domestic Violence Convictions

Most domestic violence cases are two-fold. In addition to the domestic violence charges, you may also need to respond to Protection from Abuse orders. If convicted, you can never possess a firearm again. This law could be detrimental to people who are in the army or law enforcement, or people who hunt recreation ally.

I work diligently toward the best possible solution for each client. If you are facing charges concerning marijuana, crack cocaine or crystal meth, you need an experienced lawyer on your side.

I have handled many types of cases over the years, involving a variety of drug-related charges. I understand the difficulties confronting each client and I offer advice in each step of the process.

Even when it appears the case against you is solid, you still have a chance to work out a plea or get your charges dropped entirely. You have several options at your disposal, and I will employ every tool that I have as an advocate to get the best results possible in your case.

Alabama offers conditional alternative sentencing in some cases. In these cases, my clients have two years to complete a treatment program, after which their cases are dismissed. Individuals entering this program must complete treatment or be subject to a sentence of two years in prison.
