Gibson Law Office has represented Purdue students for more than 20 years. We understand the myriad of issues that impact a college student who has been arrested. A criminal arrest is stressful for anyone, but when you are 18 to 22 years of age and away from home, it can be overwhelming. The arrest itself can be traumatic, as few students came to Purdue expecting to visit the Tippecanoe County Jail. And, everyone who does knows that they do not want to go back.
Purdue students who are arrested may receive advice from well-intentioned friends, their residence assistant, and even University employees on handling the situation. However, none of these people have represented someone in a courtroom. They do not understand the interplay between Purdue disciplinary actions and a criminal case. They are unaware of legal defenses, strict court procedures, and filing deadlines. They cannot draw on 20 years of experience defending Purdue students. Our lawyers can.
