School Expulsions

Fighting College Expulsions Throughout the Northwest

A college student has certain rights before he or she is expelled or suspended from a state university. The Law Office of Steve Graham can assist students who are facing these legal issues. Mr. Graham has helped students throughout the Northwest get back into school.

It is important that a student discuss their student disciplinary case with an attorney prior to meeting with the Dean of Students or the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Without the assistance of an attorney, a student may make statements against their interest or waive certain rights. When appealing an expulsion or suspension, there are very important deadlines for filing appeals, submitting documentation or naming witnesses. It is important that these deadlines be met.

An expulsion or suspension can appear on a student's permanent transcript and harm his or her chances of receiving an education at another school. For international students, an expulsion can mean the loss of a student visa. What may start as a relatively small matter can turn into an arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Attorney Steve Graham has helped many international students, including Saudi Arabian students in Cheney and Pullman, Washington.
