Tuscaloosa College Criminal Defense Attorneys

University of Alabama Judicial Affairs Lawyers

College students who have been arrested have to fight for their future on two different fronts. Criminal defense services are critically important, to respond to the charges against you — whether you've been arrested for underage drinking, a DUI, drug possession or another offense. At the same time, you probably will have to respond to a SNAM ticket for student nonacademic misconduct.

At the Tuscaloosa criminal defense law firm of Turner & Webb, P.C., we regularly represent college students facing criminal charges. Our experienced student crimes defense lawyers understand the dual worries that college students face after an arrest — and we supply calm and protective defense services, along with advocacy before the university judicial affairs board. Contact our Alabama criminal defense law firm to schedule an immediate consultation. Appointments are available in the evenings and on weekends.

Talk to a Criminal Defense Attorney Before Judicial Affairs

If you have received a SNAM ticket, you are supposed to respond to the judicial affairs office within 48 hours. If possible, consult a criminal defense lawyer before responding to the SNAM ticket. Your statements to the judicial affairs office could have negative consequences for the criminal case against you. Our student crimes defense lawyers know how to effectively coordinate criminal defense services with college disciplinary proceedings.

We work to minimize criminal penalties such as fines and jail time. We also develop strategic responses to the judicial affairs board to minimize the possibility of academic suspension or expulsion. We investigate the charges against you to explore the opportunities to exclude evidence or negotiate a plea to a lesser offense. If the facts call for it, we have the experience and resources to defend your innocence at trial.

At the same time, we represent your interests before the judicial affairs board. Often, we are able to negotiate delays in the academic disciplinary proceedings until after the criminal case is resolved; it is only fair that you be allowed to defend yourself against the charges before the university makes you answer for your conduct. We also negotiate sanctions with minimal negative consequences and represent students at formal suspension and expulsion hearings whenever necessary.

Don't Let a Mistake Ruin Your Future

At Turner & Webb, we treat your academic future with great respect. College students facing criminal charges are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible to schedule a consultation.
