Common Offenses Affecting College Students

Young adults – especially in a college environment – are prone to make many mistakes. Whether you were in the wrong place at the wrong time or you simply made a mistake, you need aggressive representation if you are facing criminal accusations.

As a student, you may have to undergo more than a criminal investigation. Your college or university may choose to report the incident to the Student Judicial Affairs and initiate a disciplinary proceeding.

Crimes commonly associated with college students include:

  • Underage drinking
  • Violation of campus codes of conduct
  • Public intoxication
  • DUI
  • Furnishing alcohol to minors
  • Hazing
  • Non-criminal violations
  • Petty theft or shoplifting
  • Disorderly conduct
  • Fake IDs
  • Violent crimes
  • Assault and battery
  • Rape
  • Sex crimes

If you have been accused and charged for a crime while attending university, your future could be on the line. Besides fines and jail time, possible consequences of a conviction include ineligibility for loans, scholarships, or financial aid, and even expulsion from school.

To avoid these and other penalties, be sure to put a skilled criminal defense team on your side as soon as possible. Our experienced college disciplinary hearing lawyers in Gainesville can help you navigate the complicated process and fight to keep your academic standing.

    "Mr. Edwards believed in us and took a chance, we will forever be in his debt."
    We are from Lake City, Florida. As parents, we sought the help of Mr. Edwards on my daughter's behalf. As a young lady, she had acquired multiple felonies with the prospect of 10-15 years in prison facing her. Mr. Edwards heard our case, took it on with confidence, and got her sentence reduced to 10 years probation, and restitution. That was 8 years ago, and my daughter is married, has a son, and is doing great. She hasn't even had a traffic violation. Because Mr. Edwards believed in us and took a chance, we will forever be in his debt. He is a great lawyer, with a very big heart.

    "It is my opinion that he is clearly one of the best lawyers in the city of Gainesville."
    I had the pleasure of having Mr. Edwards represent me in 2006. While I was charged with a crime, Mr. Edwards insisted sternly that he was very confident he could successfully defend the charges against me. This man exudes confidence. It is my opinion that he is clearly one of the best lawyers in the city of Gainesville. You can't go wrong with Mr. Edwards!!!

    "Mr. Jones went beyond needed services as a lawyer to help me with my very in depth case."
    Mr. Jones went beyond needed services as a lawyer to help me with my very in depth case. Very helpful throughout the whole 6-7 month process. Not only did he get all my questions answered to the best of his abilities but also really showed compassion for my family & I during the case as well as after. 5 star lawyer, highly recommended. Thank you for all your hard work!

    "He put his heart into that case."
    I first hired Thomas Edwards to defend me and my daughter in the early 1990s. He put his heart into that case. Of all the attorneys in the state of Florida, he would be the one I would call if the need for an attorney ever arose again.
