Virginia College Campus Underage Drinking Lawyer
In the past, misbehavior on college campuses was an almost expected part of the college experience. Now the stakes are higher. Underage drinking has become a serious problem on local college campuses and prohibitions are strictly enforced by the local authorities. Beyond possession of illegal drugs or DWI, substance abuse can lead to theft, property crimes and violent crimes such as assault, and the alienation of family and friends.
Some drug infractions can put a college student's financial aid at risk. If you are a student or the parent of a student who is in trouble and need a criminal defense attorney at the University of Richmond, Virginia Commonwealth University, Randolph-Macon College, Virginia Union University, Virginia State, the University of Virginia (UVA) or the College of William and Mary, contact Mark Tyndall for effective representation.
