Our team of Berkeley criminal defense lawyers, with over 50 years of combined experience, is dedicated to representing students and faculty facing these serious allegations.

Don’t face this process alone, let Silver Law Firm help you navigate the investigation and protect your future.
Safeguarding Your Rights in Berkeley Student Misconduct Investigations
Student misconduct investigations in Berkeley are usually handled privately and internally, which means you may not receive the same due process protections as you would in a criminal case. However, we are experienced in asserting and defending the rights of students at colleges and universities throughout California, ensuring that your rights are respected throughout the process.
Silver Law Firm is here to assist you with student misconduct cases including:
- Plagiarism, Cheating, and Improper Collaboration: Academic misconduct is a serious matter that can lead to severe sanctions, including expulsion. Many allegations stem from misunderstandings, and our defense attorneys can help present and defend your case to your school’s disciplinary board.
- Drug and Alcohol Offenses: Many California academic institutions enforce strict drug and alcohol policies. Our legal team is dedicated to defending your rights and protecting your future in these cases.
- Sexual Harassment and Assault Investigations: Title IX mandates a thorough investigation of sexual abuse allegations. These sensitive cases require careful handling, and we work tirelessly to defend your rights and preserve your academic reputation.
- Bullying and Hazing Allegations: Hazing is a serious offense that can result in criminal charges. Whether you’re a student or part of a student organization like a fraternity or sorority, we can defend against accusations of hazing or harassment.
- Domestic Violence and Threats: Domestic violence charges in California can have severe consequences, even if the offense did not occur on school property. We defend students and faculty members facing domestic violence charges in both criminal cases and school investigations.
- Abuse of Information Technology: This includes theft of school property, misuse of equipment, or cybercrimes. We are familiar with cybercrimes and “white collar” defense and can assist students and faculty accused of technology-related offenses.
- Restraining Orders and “No Trespass” Orders: If a pending restraining order threatens your ability to remain at school, or if you’re accused of violating such an order, we can provide strong legal representation to protect your academic standing.
