Buffalo College Disciplinary Hearing Defense Attorney
Getting arrested in college can have a significant impact on a student's education. Accusations or allegations of any kind that result in an arrest or disciplinary hearing can lead to criminal charges and also potential administrative action from the college. If you are a Buffalo college student, or the parent of a Buffalo college student who is facing criminal charges or administrative disciplinary hearings from your college, you will certainly want to invest in an experienced criminal defense attorney. You can defend yourself from a further penalty with the help of an experienced and knowledgeable Title IX defense attorney. The cost of not hiring a quality attorney can have long-term consequences for a college student, beyond just a disciplinary hearing. The student could be looking at jail and a criminal record outside of college, beyond just a simple academic probation, suspension, or expulsion.

Buffalo Colleges Are Required to Investigate Title IX Cases
Title IX refers to the Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. It is a federal law that requires all programs and activities that receive any federal funding to provide equal access to education regardless of a person's sex. If you find yourself in the middle of a Title IX case, you will want an experienced criminal defense attorney by your side, throughout the months-long process to protect your reputation and student's rights. Title IX cases have a wide range of potential violations and potential criminal charges. A college student could face significant consequences such as suspension or expulsion, or further criminal or civil charges.
Common Title IX Violations at Buffalo Colleges & Universities
- Sexual Harassment
- Sex-Based Harassment
- Gender Discrimination
- Sexism
- Sexual Assault
- Sexual Exploitation
- Sexual Violence, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence
- Non-consensual sexual contact or intercourse

Because all violations MUST be investigated by a college or university, it's important to remember that these violations and accusations can vary greatly. There could be omissions, actions, or wrongdoing, but anyone accused is considered innocent until proven guilty. This means even an accusation of a Title IX violation can significantly impact a student's life. To protect your future, it's best to retain a Buffalo College Disciplinary Defense Attorney as soon as possible.
Title IX defense cases are very labor intensive and require an experienced attorney to help you gather evidence and build a strategic defense for your case. It is vital to act quickly. The longer you wait, or try to hide from the case, the more difficult it will be to be prepared. It's important to be honest and upfront with your family if you need financial assistance in paying for an attorney because not having a good attorney can cost you much more.
