Charges Involving College Age Students

Legal Defense for College Age Students

If you or your child is a college age student, being charged with a criminal offense is very devastating. There are several things that an experienced criminal defense attorney can do to prevent a poor decision from becoming a permanent criminal record.

At the Law Office of Geri R. Joneson in Fort Collins, Colorado, I represent numerous students. If your son or a daughter has been charged with a crime in northern Colorado, I offer a free initial consultation to provide you with information about what you can expect and perhaps how a criminal conviction can be avoided.

One of my primary objectives is to minimize the effect of an arrest on a young adult's future. As parents, we are often tempted to let our children deal the consequences of their poor decisions on their own. But that's not always the best approach. It is often better to engage the assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney to assist your son or daughter through the process. It is important to seek the advice of an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.

Accepting the consequences of a poor decision is one thing, but having a permanent record is altogether different. Don't try to represent yourself or have your child go to court alone. Contact the Law Office of Geri R. Joneson, LLC for a free initial consultation.
