If you've been charged with a crime, injured, or accused of misconduct, I am here to help. Asking around can help, but in my experience, the best way is to see who is willing to sit down, make time for you and listen. When you're going through one of the most difficult times in your life, you need answers from someone who you can trust. You also need a lawyer who will act quickly, which is why we define what is most important to you in our very first meeting.
Then, I do the work, and take whatever steps are necessary to protect you, minimize the damage and help you get back to focusing on yourself and the people that matter the most. Academic and general university misconduct defense for undergraduate and graduate students. I have an extensive understanding of the due process landscape at your college, and will not allow you to be treated unfairly.
If you are accused of misconduct, you cannot leave anything to chance. Call me first - your future depends on it. I understand how the insurance industry works, and know how to maximize your financial recovery - whether through negotiated settlement or at trial.

When we meet for the first time, my goal is to find out what's most important to you, to answer your questions, and to take the mystery out of the legal process.
After that, I create a unique legal strategy based on the facts of your case, and begin the work of moving your case forward.
As things progress, we will stay in contact, which serves two purposes - it keeps you informed, and it allows us to make better decisions.
I am not the kind of lawyer that "shoots from the hip".
You will know what to expect when we go to court, and we will both be prepared for every hearing.

Do not be tempted to go the conduct office by yourself - anything that you say, even in an informal meeting - could be used against you.
Many students do not understand the far-reaching consequences of a finding of university-related misconduct, or of the options that they have in fighting the accusation.
For more serious offenses, you always have the right to have a lawyer present and the right to a due process hearing.

You are dealing with an officer whose opinion is that you were impaired behind the wheel, you have chemical tests of either the blood, breath or urine, and you have a public perception that anyone charged with DUI is guilty, and all that's left to do is decide the punishment.
Making matters worse, a DUI charge triggers a driver's license revocation, which means that - unless you take steps to challenge the loss of your license - you will lose the right to drive shortly after your arrest.
This can be devastating in a rural state like West Virginia, where many people rely on their ability to drive to travel to and from work and provide for their families.
