As we near the time of year when many college students are headed off for spring break, it is important to remind students that a drug charge can still affect their future. The old federal student-aid penalty for drug convictions no longer controls FAFSA eligibility, but a Wisconsin drug case can still affect college discipline, campus housing, scholarships, internships, professional licensing, immigration status, and private program disclosures.
If you or someone you know has been charged with a crime please contact one of the lawyers at our office in Racine, Wisconsin.
