If you are facing a serious accusation like the violation of an University’s Sexual Misconduct Policy speaking with a lawyer early in the process is essential. Don't face accusations that can change the course of your life alone. A student disciplinary proceeding can derail the future of a student at a university. Student conduct code violations like underage drinking, drug possession, unreasonably loud noise, sexual assault, assault, and hazing, are serious accusations. Get legal counsel from an attorney who’s experienced in university student disciplinary proceedings. Universities can issue irreversible sanctions, the effects of which you’ll feel long after leaving university.
