Cincinnati, Ohio College Student Crimes Defense Attorneys
College students arrested on criminal charges face several issues that could impact their status as students, their future career, and their driver's license. Perhaps most importantly, if the alleged crime occurred on campus, students may be required to go before an internal disciplinary board where they do not have the right to an attorney. At the law office of Raymond T. Faller, Co., LPA, we assert and defend the rights of students arrested on charges ranging from drug and alcohol possession to sexual assault. When necessary, we consult our own investigators and experts in challenging the evidence offered by the prosecution.

Fighting Criminal Allegations involving Illegal Activity in Dorm Rooms
Too often, campus police charge everyone present when criminal wrongdoing is discovered in a dorm room. As a result, any one present in a room when drugs, alcohol, or weapons are discovered, may face criminal charges as a result. Additionally, certain constitutional issues may arise when searches and seizures take place that involve municipal or campus police. Our lawyers expose groundless assumptions and questionable activities on the part of police officers that often lead to innocent students being charged with crimes.
Date Rape and Acquaintance Rape, and Other Sex Crimes
Allegations of Sex Crimes are VERY serious. A conviction could result in having to register as a sex offender for 5, 10, 15 years of life. Do not be afraid to contact a criminal defense attorney now.
In order to convict someone of rape, prosecutors must prove the sex involved was not consensual. In cases involving date rape or acquaintance rape, the main issue revolves around whether or not the alleged victim can prove she did consent to having sex. In defending our clients, we look at whether or not alcohol was involved, if the alleged victim has a history of mental problems or drug use, and whether there is any evidence of force being applied by our client. Our attorneys expose contradictory testimony and groundless allegations that undermine the prosecution's case against our client.
Avoid the Consequences of a Criminal Conviction
If convicted for underage drinking, drug possession, assault, or rape, you could lose your driver's license, go to prison, face expensive fines, lose financial aid and be expelled from school. Depending on the nature of your crime, your conviction may result in a permanent criminal record that could impact your ability to find a job or receive student financial aid.
