Defense of Professionals and Students facing Criminal Charges and Other Consequences


Being arrested or charged with a crime in Oklahoma is a frightening experience. You are likely concerned about how to stay out of jail and building a strong defense in court. Additionally, you, like our entire criminal defense team, want to find a way for you to avoid a criminal conviction. However, if you are a college student or hold a professional license, you have additional concerns and potential consequences that you must consider.
College students will face the academic disciplinary board and potential suspension or expulsion from their college or university. The process for building and presenting a defense before your college or university may be equally important to your future as the outcome of your criminal defense in court.
College athletes must remain in good standing with the university and NCAA, if applicable, to be eligible to participate in practice and compete. Your scholarship and place on the team is at issue if you are facing criminal charges. Similarly, if you are in orchestra or have any type of scholarship, you need to build a strong defense to keep your scholarship.
Students that receive student loans, especially federal student loans may lose their loans, if convicted of a felony or drug crime. It is important to work with an experienced Oklahoma criminal defense attorney that can assist you in seeking alternative resolutions of your criminal case or dismissal to avoid losing your loans.
Health care professionals identified as being charged or arrested for a criminal offense will face disciplinary action and/or potential license suspension in their medical field. Early and effective intervention with the help of an experienced Oklahoma criminal defense attorney is key, if you are a medical professional facing criminal charges.
Professionals holding licenses required to work in a specific field, such as accountants, CPAs, teachers, commercial drivers, and teachers, must pay special attention to their criminal defense and the defense attorney they hire to seek to protect their license.
