A: It is really your choice, and it depends on the severity of the charges and the potential punishment; if there is police involvement than I would say definitely yes. Furthermore, although you should be allowed to bring an attorney, some schools (generally private) do not allow students to do so.

The truth is, I need more information to answer this question. Reply with more details or contact me and I would be happy to help guide you in the right direction.

Good Luck and I Hope All Goes Well,

Truly Yours,

Aubrey C. Galloway III, Esq.
