Representing Cal University Students
For a student at a prestigious university like UC Berkeley, any criminal charge can have serious consequences, including not only criminal penalties but also educational consequences. If you have been arrested, or if your child has been arrested, you will want an experienced attorney.
At The Law Offices of Michael L. Davidson, our Berkeley criminal defense lawyers have helped thousands of clients fight charges in California criminal courts throughout the Bay Area. We have represented many Cal students and are sensitive to the range of consequences they face.
Defending Students Against All Types of Charges
Our firm has represented Cal students who have been charged with all types of criminal offenses, but the university atmosphere and the experience of being away from home for the first time are particularly strongly connected with charges like the following:
- Driving under the influence (DUI)
- Drug possession
- Minor in possession
- Assault and battery
- Underage drinking
- Public drunkenness
- Indecent exposure
Under the UC Berkeley Code of Conduct, many of these charges can also result in student sanctions, including loss of privileges, exclusion from activities, suspension, expulsion and exclusion from the campus. These sanctions are imposed separately from criminal penalties.
Helping Parents Protect Their Children's Futures
If your child has been arrested, you may want him or her to learn a lesson from the experience. This is understandable, but the criminal law is a blunt instrument for teaching a lesson. We encourage parents to seek aggressive defense representation for their children.
Our attorneys are prepared to help Cal students avoid or reduce the criminal and administrative consequences of accusations against them. To schedule a free consultation, call us at 866-719-9678 or 650-288-0483 or send us an e-mail.
