The college experience is a blend of studying hard and playing hard, but with the majority of college students being under 25 years old and with still-developing brains, there’s also a good chance that mistakes get in the mix of work, play, and study. The pressure is high; students are navigating adult issues and personal and academic relationships, and there’s a chance that you (or your adult child) may find yourself charged with student misconduct.

At this point, you need to assert your rights, and the advice and counsel of our Michigan student misconduct lawyer can help you achieve a positive outcome from the charge. The legal team at K Altman Law is ready to defend your rights, protect your academic record and opportunities, and pursue justice, no matter how large and powerful the school. Contact us today for a consultation with our Michigan student misconduct lawyer.

How Can a Student Misconduct Lawyer Help?

Student misconduct allegations may arise in the classroom or from your peers. Sometimes, a student who otherwise has great potential and a bright future may find themselves in trouble after “sexting” or harassment allegations, computer crimes, or illegal possession of drugs or alcohol. When you’re this young, the impact of a criminal charge or allegations of student misconduct can affect your entire life trajectory, jeopardize your scholarship or federal financial aid eligibility, or cause you to be expelled from school.

Our attorneys are skilled advocates with a deep knowledge of federal and state statutes that govern student misconduct allegations and the authority of higher education institutions over students. We look into the situation in question, examining evidence independently to determine if your civil rights were violated at any point, from allegations and charges through any administrative hearing and afterward. We can also represent you if the city or county chooses to file charges and represent you with the school.

We know what’s at stake—your future, your education, career, goals, and dreams. You could face jail time, fines, or expulsion from the university. We want to help you preserve your financial aid and good standing in the university, stay out of jail, and retain your permission to live in campus housing. We know that any blemish on your academic or criminal record could affect grad school, cause future employers not to hire you, and even impact your reputation in the community.

We Defend Against Allegations of Academic Misconduct

Your trouble with the school administration may not be criminal but rather academic. In the age of the internet and AI’s mass availability, it’s easier than ever for an unwary student to face accusations of cheating, lying, or other academic dishonesty. If you’re facing serious charges like these, you may wonder what our Michigan student misconduct lawyer can do for you.

We review your school’s student handbook and code of conduct and investigate the accusations against you to determine if your rights were violated. We can advise you during school hearings and defend you before the board and other school authorities.

At K Altman Law, we’re committed to helping students like you defend themselves against unfair accusations and mitigating the serious impact of a simple mistake. Contact us today to discuss your case.
