"I left a message at Mr. Phelps’ office concerning my son being accused of academic misconduct at college.

Within an hour of that call, Mr. Phelps personally returned my call. He consulted with my family for nearly two hours concerning the situation. Mr. Phelps tone and words were honest but reassuring. He was able to give us immeasurably valuable insight and advice that literally helped save my son’s college future."

"Shane Phelps provided counsel in a DWI case arising in College Station involving my college-aged child while a student at Texas A&M.

Ultimately, he achieved a very good outcome including waiver of the DWI charge, and has allowed my child to move on to life after graduation with minimal permanent impact with regard to reputation and professional career."

"We came to his office with our high school student, who after an arrest for a moment of poor judgement, was weighed down with the thought of this mistake following them for the rest of their life and limiting college and career opportunities.

Shane quickly put us at ease… our high school graduate is off to college to pursue those dreams with no shadow of a tarnished record hanging overhead."

An arrest or campus allegation can put everything you have worked for at risk. A DWI under Texas Penal Code §49.04, a drug charge, or a minor in possession citation under Alcoholic Beverage Code §106.04 can follow you into job and graduate school applications.

Your school may open its own case, too. Texas A&M and other schools can suspend or expel students and cancel scholarships or housing, and under Texas Education Code §51.9364 certain findings are noted on your transcript. What you say early matters.

Shane Phelps Law defends students and young adults at Texas A&M, Blinn College, and schools across Texas, in the courtroom and in the conduct office. Contact us today for your free, confidential consultation.

a Conviction. Fight Back.

Shane Phelps Law | DWI & Criminal Defense Attorneys

An arrest is not a conviction, and an allegation is not a finding. Even when the charge is serious, there may be ways to challenge it. Our team reviews the police report, the evidence, and the school's own procedures to find gaps and protect your rights.

What you say early can affect both your criminal case and your campus case. Contact Shane Phelps Law today for your free, confidential consultation.
