Representing JMU Students Charged With Selling Drugs

Depending on certain circumstances in your situation, you might face misdemeanor or felony charges. Felony charges are significantly more severe and carry higher penalties. We will work with the prosecutor's office to get the charges reduced or dismissed altogether. Additionally, we will explore the possibility of using diversion programs to lessen your penalties.

It is important to remember that felony convictions can revoke certain rights in Virginia, but also remain on your criminal record for life. This mark on your record can limit your housing, job and future educational opportunities.

In addition to the criminal consequences, colleges and universities have their own penalties. For example, JMU operates on a three-strike system for all infringements of campus policies. Three strikes may result in a semester suspension or permanent expulsion.
