College Students

One of the most interesting and exciting times in a person’s life is when (s)he leaves home, usually for the first time, in order to seek a higher education.  As all of us who have experienced college life can recall, it is a time filled with new friendships and challenges.  Unfortunately, on occasion those new friendships and/or challenges can place a young person in awkward and untenable positions.  In new surroundings and at times far from home for the first time in his/her young life, a young person can occasionally make poor choices.

From Minors in Possession of Alcohol to Possession of Drugs to Driving Under the Influence, our local College Students at Georgia Southern University, East Georgia State College, and/or Ogeechee Technical College can face criminal charges that can lead to significant legal and scholastic punishments.  Specifically, depending upon the arresting agency, a student arrested for any offense can face criminal charges in one of Bulloch County’s Courts, along with potential adverse consequences for violation of a Student Conduct Code at that Student’s college/university.

Having prosecuted thousands of cases involving college students, Joey Cowart understands how important it is to have the best representation of those students in order to ensure that their futures are not ruined by one mistake.  Parents/Guardians and Students need to be able to feel confident in their choice of representation.  Joey Cowart handles all of his clients personally from the initial consultation through all subsequent meetings and court appearances.

In that regard, in representing your son or daughter, Joey will take the time to review all of the circumstances surrounding the situation in order to form the best legal strategies to ensure the best outcome possible in Court.  In addition, Joey will work with your son or daughter to help them to understand the significance of the opportunities that are available to them while assisting them to address the underlying issues that lead them to their legal troubles.

When choosing an attorney to assist a college student, be sure to choose someone with the experience and knowledge who can not only put the student in the best legal position possible, but someone who can also assist the student in moving forward with his/her life. Do not let one mistake define that student’s life.
