Fight Against Student Offenses With A New Paltz Criminal Defense Attorney

Students accused of crimes face the threat of fines, probation or jail time. Students also run the risk of jeopardizing their eligibility for financial aid, scholarships and employment prospects. A student arrested by campus police or security officials may also face an administrative disciplinary hearing that could result in expulsion from school.

I am Larry Trank, a criminal defense attorney with more than 30 years of experience. I provide legal representation to students throughout the Hudson Valley. At my law firm, Lawrence R. Trank, PLLC, in New Paltz, I provide criminal defense to students in New Paltz, Ulster County and the surrounding communities of New York.

I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case. Call my toll-free number, 877-224-1132, or send me an email to find out more.

Defense Against All Types Of Criminal Charges

If you are a student who has been charged with a crime, or a parent helping your son or daughter following an arrest, don’t make the mistake of navigating the criminal justice system on your own. I regularly represent students charged with various offenses, including:

  • Drug possession and other drug crimes
  • Disorderly conduct
  • DWI and DWAI
  • Assault
  • Fake IDs
  • Trespassing
  • Criminal mischief
  • Shoplifting, petty larceny and grand larceny
  • Traffic violations

Before you talk to the police or anyone else, get the advice of an experienced criminal defense lawyer. I am available to personally speak with you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Highly Familiar With Hudson Valley College And University Proceedings

For the past 30 years, I have practiced law in New Paltz, a small college town located in the Hudson Valley that is home to SUNY New Paltz. Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to work closely with members of the college community, including:

  • SUNY New Paltz
  • Marist College (Poughkeepsie, NY)
  • Vassar College (Poughkeepsie, NY)
  • Dutchess Community College (DCC)
  • Ulster Community College (UCC)

This has given me considerable experience with the disciplinary systems of these schools. I know how the procedures work and how best to position your defense.

The Importance Of Preventing A Criminal Record

Nearly every employer conducts a background check. Employers often immediately rule out those with criminal backgrounds. Even if you have a relatively minor offense on your record, you may find it difficult to get a desirable job. Your best option is to avoid a criminal record altogether. You may be able to do that by working with a skilled New Paltz criminal defense lawyer who knows the system and is willing to fight to keep your record clean and your career prospects open.
