Our Academic Misconduct Attorney
Partner • Madison
The last several years were not easy for our family but we had complete faith that Erika was steering us toward the best possible outcome. The results she obtained for our children across 3 serious episodes far exceeded what we had hoped would be possible. Erika returns phone calls same day. When we need to talk with her she always makes time. She’s organized, always prepared and never late. She “gets” her clients and understands what families are going through. She is extraordinarily kind and compassionate in addition to being extremely competent. Erika Bierma has our highest recommendation. She’s a credit to Axley and the entire legal profession. We speak highly of her and would strongly recommend her to anyone in need of her skill set.
What are the possible penalties I could face?
Letter of reprimand, alcohol/drug education, non-academic probation, suspension, or expulsion.
How long does the investigative process take?
It depends on the nature of the allegation. Underage drinking, ID violations, simple drug possession, resisting/obstructing can be concluded within 30-45 days. More serious investigations could take several months.
Should I hire a lawyer?
Absolutely! Anything said to the investigator can be used to determine the outcome of the university process but also could end up in the District Attorney’s file to be used in a possible prosecution.
