Criminal Convictions Have Long-Term Consequences For College Students

Are you a college student in Wisconsin who has been charged with a crime? Is your son or daughter facing a felony or misdemeanor conviction on their record? If the charges lead to a conviction, that seemingly innocent mistake in college at a party or football game could haunt him or her later in life.

Employers now screen job applicants carefully. Background checks include searching criminal records. If you have a conviction on your record, employers take this very seriously as an indication of what kind of employee someone will be. Even a minor infraction marring your background check could be grounds for rescinding a job offer.

Don’t take chances that could tarnish your record. Hire a Milwaukee criminal defense attorney who will work diligently to clear your name. At the Law Office of Stephen M. Govin, LLC, we take college student crimes cases very seriously.

  • Underage drinking
  • Charges of date rape or sexual assault
  • Drugs charges, such as possession or distribution
