Lexington College Student Defense Lawyer
Finding out your child faces criminal charges in Lexington is a nightmare for any parent. You fund their education and build their future, only to watch a single mistake threaten their scholarships and career goals. At Hitch Defense Attorneys, we do not simply settle cases. From the moment we are hired, we strategize to win. Backed by decades of trial experience and student defense insight across Kentucky, our attorneys move aggressively to protect your child’s clean record and academic standing 24/7.
Common Campus-District Offenses
Our legal team delivers a formidable trial defense against a wide array of charges. We represent students caught up in post-game celebrations around the notorious State Street area, fighting allegations of physical assault, property damage and underage drinking. We also dismantle state evidence in high-stakes marijuana or prescription drug possession cases, and provide an aggressive defense against underage DUI charges.
The Dual Threat To Their Future
An arrest triggers two completely separate battlefields, and losing either can derail your child’s professional life. First, the state pursues criminal convictions through the Fayette District Court system. Second, the university initiates an institutional disciplinary track that can strip away housing, terminate enrollment and permanently revoke academic scholarships.
If the University of Kentucky Police Department (UKPD) or city officers arrest a student, the university instantly routes the infraction through the UK Office of Student Conduct. Whether the incident occurred on-campus or off-campus, the administration aggressively enforces the UK Code of Student Conduct. We provide strategic defense alignment for students at the University of Kentucky, Transylvania University and Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC).
