How can a student defend a fake identification charge?

Although many college students have fake IDs, it's almost a rite of passage. It can create unexpected consequences. A fake ID charge unfortunately, is considered a crime of dishonesty. Although when you're 18, 19, 20 years old, you may not look at it that way, but the unfortunate reality of it is, is that is the case. If a student is say charged with a fake ID charge, either say by their school or outside, by local law enforcement, it can definitely impact them moving forward. It would potentially be on a criminal record, or public records that is, and could be part of a student's disciplinary record at their school.

It could impact internship opportunities, graduate school applications, future employment, professional licensings even. It's a matter that needs to be taken seriously. An experienced attorney advisor can help navigate the process to let a student know how best to respond and should be involved from as early as possible in the process.
