Student Representation

The Levitt Law Firm is dedicated to representing students.  As a faculty member at Central Michigan University Todd has seen firsthand the uphill battle students must fight both academically and legally.  When a student is faced with legal charges the deck is stack against him or her in a way that is not present in non-student cases.

Not only must students defend their case in court, but they must also juggle their class schedule, work, and extracurricular activities.  This in itself is not overly different from the average citizen ‘s plight.  However, all too often students are also faced with disciplinary procedures by the university itself.  This last hurdle may make students choose between their education and their freedom by placing them in the impossible position of having to choose between their constitutional right against self-incrimination and the requirement by the University to be forthright with the panel or be ousted from school.

The Levitt Law Firm works tirelessly to ensure the best possible result given all of these competing interests.  Different strategies are employed for each student depending on the importance of moving the case through quickly, scheduling non-court related events, and getting the best legal outcome for the client.  Plea deals may be worked out to ensure that all of these interests are met in the best ways possible, but occasionally that is not possible.  At those times the firm undertakes the ultimate test of legal endurance: trial.

In deciding whether you need an attorney, and which one you should choose, it is important to determine what you want from the firm.  Levitt Law Firm certainly represents the best interests of non-students as well, but it specializes in juggling the very complex schedule of students.  Don’t miss out on that once in a lifetime opportunity to travel abroad or miss the big game because the attorney you hired isn’t well versed in handling scheduling cases.
