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.- Colin

"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.- Jan

"Once we hired him he started work immediately and was able to get my son's case thrown out. We are very satisfied with his services."I hired Mr. Jones to represent my son. We had never had to hire a lawyer and I was anxious. Mr. Jones took the time to explain what was happening and it helped lessen my concerns. Once we hired him he started work immediately and was able to get my son's case thrown out. We are very satisfied with his services.- Robert H.
