ARE YOU A STUDENT FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES IN CONNECTICUT? LET US BE YOUR CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

Almost everyone will make a mistake at some point in their lives, especially when they are teenagers or young adults. While some bad decisions may not result in severe consequences, others will require the help of a criminal defense lawyer. Attorney Angotta's experienced legal counsel can protect a student's future by minimizing the damages stemming from youthful indiscretions and bad choices.

The Law Office of Dominick Angotta can work with students and their parents to provide the best options and resolutions to the wide range of criminal charges that a student may encounter. We represent students at colleges, universities, trade schools, community colleges, preparatory schools, etc. throughout Fairfield County and all of Connecticut. We can help if you are facing charges related but not limited to:

  • Underage Drinking Offenses
  • DUI/DWI & Drunk Driving Charges
  • Drug, Marijuana &Prescription Pill Possession
  • Sex Crimes
  • Fake ID Charges
  • Vandalism & Property Crimes
  • Disorderly Conduct
  • Disturbing the Peace
  • Public Intoxication
  • Distributing Alcohol to a Minor

Students convicted of a criminal charge can face both immediate and lifelong ramifications. Even misdemeanor drug possession charges can lead to academic discipline, expulsion, or being prohibited from student housing, while more serious convictions may lead to rejection from post-graduate programs, and difficulties obtaining a professional license. In some cases, convictions may also render you ineligible for Financial Aid and Student Loans.

CRIMINAL CHARGES RESULTING FROM A DORM ROOM OR CAR SEARCH

Student's may be subject to dorm room or vehicle searches carried out by local, state, or campus police, resident assistants (RA's), or any other campus authority figure. These searches may result in criminal charges. The Law Office of Dominick Angotta can be an advocate if you or your child have been charged with a crime stemming from one of these searches.

PREVENTING OR REDUCING CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS

Any criminal conviction will have a negative impact on someone's life. For young students, even one minor poor decision can result in negative impacts that are potentially life-altering. Young adults entering the workforce or looking to obtain a post-graduate degree with a criminal record, even if only for a minor conviction, are at a serious disadvantage compared to their peers.

The Law Office of Dominick Angotta will fight to make sure a youthful poor decision doesn't tarnish your record forever. We will be aggressive advocates on your behalf, and work tirelessly to minimize or nullify any resulting negative consequences.
