Erie College Student Criminal Defense Lawyer

College students in Erie who face a criminal investigation or campus disciplinary process may have to respond to more than one proceeding. A university review and a criminal case are separate processes, with different rules and deadlines. Logue Law Group is based in Pittsburgh and handles criminal-defense matters across Pennsylvania; contact the firm to confirm whether it can assist with a matter involving a student in Erie County.

Criminal and campus proceedings

An incident may prompt a police investigation, criminal charges, and a separate university conduct review. A campus notice may set a short response or hearing deadline. Statements made in one process can affect the other, so students should understand the scope and consequences before responding. The specific policies and procedures depend on the school and the notice received.

Erie is home to campuses including Gannon University and Penn State Behrend. The applicable student code, hearing process, and available support differ by institution. Read each notice carefully and preserve the full communication, attachments, and deadlines.

Practical steps after a notice or investigation

• Save the notice, student-code provisions, emails, texts, and any interview request.
• Write down hearing, response, and court dates separately.
• Do not delete messages or post about the matter online.
• Before giving a statement, consider how it may affect any related criminal case.
• Ask counsel to review the notice, the alleged conduct, and the process that applies.
