Miami College Student Defense Attorneys

Sound Legal Advice for Criminal & Disciplinary Proceedings

When college students experience their first taste of freedom, there can be bumps in the road to independence. Although they are young and still navigating the adult world, the law considers them adults and holds them to the same standard of legal conduct as all adults. A criminal conviction can have a devastating impact on a young adult’s future. At Jeffrey S. Weiner, P.A., our college student defense lawyers in Miami offer strong legal defense and work towards an outcome that will have a minimal impact on your future education and career endeavors.

A Criminal Conviction Has Serious Consequences for Your Future

Students attending school in Florida and other states often travel to Miami on spring break. Attendance at a party or driving while under the influence of alcohol can sometimes result in an arrest and criminal charges. A criminal conviction has the potential to derail your education and future career plans. Often, people find they are unable to complete their studies after serving time in jail. 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 felony charges.

Disciplinary Proceedings Can Disrupt Your Education

Our Miami college student defense attorneys represent students in proceedings before university disciplinary committees. A suspension or expulsion can prevent you from finishing school, receiving scholarships and awards, and even attending graduate school.

We effectively defend students against all types of violations, including:

• Fighting
• Cheating
• Participating in rallies or protests
• Other forms of civil disobedience
• Other school code violations

Students planning to attend certain graduate programs or pursue certain careers may be required to submit to a background check. In addition to defending clients in criminal and school proceedings, we help applicants and licensed professionals with background checks and professional licensure issues. We are committed to making sure our clients are treated fairly and that their rights are protected.
