Texas Student Defense – Title IX College/University and K-12
College or University and K-12 students that become involved with sexual misconduct, criminal allegations, and code of conduct violations face a variety of complex concerns: informal student conduct hearings, potential criminal charges, and formal Title IX investigations. Unfortunately, a momentary lapse in judgment, which happens from time to time with students, can have a major impact on a student’s future.
At Barnett Howard & Williams PLLC, we counsel and defend college and K-12 students at disciplinary hearings, Title 9 investigations and hearings, and misdemeanor or felony criminal cases associated with alleged student misconduct. Our goal is to ensure that an allegation or incident does not end up on the student’s permanent school record or criminal record.
We offer experienced and compassionate representation for students at educational institutions across Texas. Our Title 9 attorneys have handled matters at TCU, UNT, UTA, TCC, Baylor, Texas, and Texas Tech, and K-12 schools across the state. From the moment an allegation is made, throughout the entire process, we counsel students facing these situations and help them navigate through university and school procedures as well as the potential of the criminal justice system. An allegation of sexual misconduct or assault can be an intimidating and scary time for a student and his or her family. We strive to calm your fears as we help you understand what you will be facing over the coming weeks and months of the grievance process.
Our criminal defense attorneys are former state and federal prosecutors, so we know the criminal justice process inside and out. In addition to this background, we have handled numerous cases involving college and university students, shepherding the student through both disciplinary and potential court proceedings. We will take the time to answer all of your questions along the way.
