College Students and DUI Defense

Helping College Students Charged With DUI Offenses

A DUI conviction can put an end to a college or university student's dreams for the future. With a criminal record, an otherwise outstanding student may not be admitted into medical school, law school or another graduate school program. Grad students with a DUI on their records may not be able to obtain professional licenses after they complete their degrees.

College and university students invest a great deal of time, energy and money in obtaining a higher education. A DUI conviction can make the degree much less valuable. When the stakes are this high, it is important to discuss your options with a criminal defense lawyer who is experienced in representing college and university students.
