But there is another option, watch this video to learn about making statements to school officials.

The difference between needing legal representation and not needing it usually comes down to one question: what is actually at stake here? Do we know if the sanction would be a minor t or do we think a mark on a transcript or being separated from the school is possible?

Nobody prepares you for that phone call. It's 2AM, your kid is at a precinct, and they have one phone call to give you.

Your instinct as a parent is to ask what happened, get every detail, and try to fix it on the spot. Every one of those instincts can actually make things worse for your child before an attorney even gets involved.

There are three specific things you need to do the moment you get that call, and the first one starts with what you tell your child before they say another word to anyone in that building.

Save this now. You hope you never need it.

If a school official calls you in for a meeting — you are not required to answer their questions on the spot.

I had a case where students who talked got hit with lying charges on top of everything else. My client said he'd answer questions after speaking with his attorney. He walked out clean.

Most parents think that as long as the drinking isn't happening inside their house, they're in the clear. That's not how the law sees it.

The moment you become aware of underage drinking at your property and do nothing about it, the legal picture changes entirely. But there is a right move, and it protects you completely.

Watch this so you know exactly what to do if you ever find yourself in that situation. Save this and share it with every parent you know.
