Top-Rated Legal Counsel
As a college student, any run in with law enforcement or authoritative personnel can be frightening. A criminal conviction or a negative transcript can have a devastating impact on a student. At the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Weiner, P.A., our Miami defense lawyers work tirelessly towards the best possible outcome that will have a minimal impact on your future.
Law students from all over sign up to take the Florida Bar examination. As part of the process, they must fill out lengthy and detailed applications with the Florida Board of Bar Examiners. The Board investigates and follows up on virtually every questionable activity and answer non the application. The Board investigators are very thorough. They take their time, often resulting in lengthy delays even after an applicant passes the Bar examination thereby holding up an applicant’s ability to be sworn in as a member of the Florida Bar. Our attorneys can help the students in the process.
More often than not, students from all over the world travel to Miami for spring break. Partaking in illegal activities at a party or driving while under the influence of alcohol are common things that occur during these trips and can result in an arrest and criminal charges.

Convictions follow them into their professional lives, even if they do manage to finish school. We provide aggressive legal defense for college students facing misdemeanor and/or felony charges.
