Our Attorneys Defend Purdue Students Charged with Crimes and University Disciplinary Actions

Gibson Law Office has represented Purdue students for more than 19 years. We understand the myriad of issues that impact a college student who has been arrested. A criminal arrest is stressful for anyone, but when you are 18 to 22 years of age and away from home, it can be overwhelming. The arrest itself can be traumatic, as few students came to Purdue expecting to visit the Tippecanoe County Jail. And, everyone who does knows that they do not want to go back.

Returning to campus after posting bond, students are confronted with several questions:

Am I going to get jail time?
How much would an attorney cost?
Do I have any legal defenses?
Will the University find out?
Could I be suspended from the University?
Could I get kicked out of the dorms?
How will this affect me in the job market?
Can my criminal record be expunged?

Purdue students who are arrested may receive advice from well-intentioned friends, their residence assistant, and even University employees on handling the situation. However, none of these people have represented someone in a courtroom. They do not understand the interplay between Purdue disciplinary actions and a criminal case. They are unaware of legal defenses, strict court procedures, and filing deadlines. They cannot draw on 15 years of experience defending Purdue students.

If you are a Purdue student who has been arrested, you need friends and family for support. You need an experienced Lafayette, Indiana criminal defense attorney for representation.
