Criminal Defense for College Students

Amherst is home to three of the famed Five Colleges, including the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst College, and Hampshire College. Although students come here seeking a bright future, a simple mistake or false accusation can often derail these plans.

Today’s colleges and universities are aggressively cracking down on criminal activity, particularly sexual assault. While it is an admirable goal to reduce crime, the reality is that many schools have adapted a “punish first, uncover the truth later” mentality when dealing with accusations. In numerous cases throughout the country, students were suspended, had scholarships revoked, or were even expelled without a fair hearing after being accused of a crime.

When you retain our Amherst criminal defense lawyer, we work aggressively to make sure your rights are not violated. Regardless of how overwhelming the charges against you may seem, we will work tirelessly to get you the best possible outcome.
