University of Miami Code Violations
Drug possession and drug trafficking are code violations for students at Miami University. Even if you are not convicted of the charges, you may face a hearing before the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution and could face adverse affects. For more information about this hearing, see Miami University Discipline and Code Violations.
Should I Plead Guilty?
Any drug conviction carries a stigma. If you are convicted of or plead guilty to a misdemeanor or felony drug charge, any prospective employer will see there that was a time in your life that you were involved with drugs. As a result, you should never plead guilty without discussing the ramifications with an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
The police and prosecutors treat drug charges very seriously. If you have been arrested for a drug offense such as possession, selling or trafficking of Ecstasy, cocaine, meth or marijuana, heroin or prescription drugs (like Xanax, OxyContin, Vicodin or Percocet) it is important that you contact an attorney right away.
Are Defenses Available to Drug Charges?
Often, the key to fighting drug charges is filing a motion to suppress evidence. If the search and seizure was not done properly, the drug evidence can typically be suppressed.
Some drug offenses such as possession of drug paraphernalia can be amended to a lesser offense, which may have less of a lasting effect on your record.
