On Your Side Against New York College Criminal Charges
New York college life brings with it many new freedoms for students. New opportunities exist that were not available under the watchful supervision of parents. And police officers often take these opportunities to charge students with crimes that could ruin their future. It is law enforcement's job to keep the city safe, but too often young people make easy targets.
At the Law Office of Robert A. Shapiro, we provide aggressive representation for university students who have been charged with misdemeanors and felonies in New York.
With nearly four decades of criminal defense experience, we will do everything we can to protect your rights and your future. Contact us to schedule a initial consultation with an experienced lawyer if you or someone you love is facing college criminal charges.
Experience with Any Kind of College Crime
When you are a university student, it can be easy to think that nothing you do now will affect your future. Unfortunately, mistakes we make early in life can have profound impacts. At our college criminal defense firm, we have represented students facing various crimes, including:
- Alcohol related crimes — Alcohol is free-flowing on many university campuses in New York, and it is common for students to get in trouble for alleged underage drinking, purchasing alcohol for minors, possession of forged driver's licenses, hazing and especially for drunk driving of existing site (DWI or DUI).
- Drug crimes — Like DWI charges, drug charges are common on college campuses. Students are accused of possession, distribution, trafficking and manufacturing of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, Ecstasy, mushrooms and other hallucinogenic and prescription drugs.
- Internet crimes — College campuses often keep a close watch on students' internet activity. This can lead to serious charges such as luring minors for sex, drugs or alcohol; fraud; theft; hacking; illegal file sharing; internet harassment and child pornography.
- Sex crimes — Our attorney has extensive experience defending university students against sexual assault, sexual misconduct, sexual harassment and internet sex crimes.
- Property crimes — If you were charged with vandalism, criminal mischief, burglary, shoplifting, theft or larceny, we have the experience you need on your side.
The consequences of a criminal conviction can be life-changing for New York college students. Turn to the Law Office of Robert A. Shapiro for experienced, dedicated criminal defense.
