Assistance for students and youth offenders
As parents, we understand that primal urge to protect your children at all costs, especially when someone hurts them. When it is your child who has been accused of hurting another person, or of breaking the law, those initial responses – anger, fear, even denial – are both common and expected. The very best thing you can do to protect your child is seek experienced legal counsel.
Barry, Taylor & Levesque has represented youth offenders in juvenile court, as well as college students who are of legal age. We do not believe that one mistake should dictate the rest of your child’s life, or the future that he or she could have. If your child has been accused of a crime or wrongdoing, call our Hartford criminal defense lawyers today for help.
Special experience in NCAA investigations
The NCAA’s process of investigation potential infractions is complex, and college student athletes may feel as though they have no true voice in those proceedings. While our firm advises Universities and colleges in NCAA-related lawsuits, we primarily represent student athletes, and can leverage our experiences on behalf of those students.
Our team is equipped to represent students who have been accused of violating NCAA standards, have been deemed ineligible to play, or are facing inquiries regarding Title IX or sexual misconduct. We also represent students who wish to transfer schools, or have had their scholarships revoked, among other issues.
