A criminal charge is a serious matter for any person, but for a college student, a criminal conviction can significantly damage his or her education, career and future. A criminal record may limit or prevent access to financial aid and make it more difficult to get a job in the future. It is important that you protect your rights, or the rights of your child, after an arrest for a crime in Utah.
At the law firm of Catherine Cleveland, P.C., I provide experienced defense to college students facing criminal charges throughout Salt Lake City. For many young adults who are of college age, this may be the first involvement with the criminal justice system. The fear of an arrest forever limiting their opportunities is tremendous. While providing criminal defense for the criminal charges, I will provide effective options to limit any future harm.
