Compassionate Representation For Texas College Students Accused Of Crimes

Every day across the country, college students find themselves facing criminal charges. If you or your child has been charged with drunk driving, assault, drug possession or any other offense, getting help from an experienced criminal defense lawyer could mean the difference between a permanent criminal record and a dismissed charge. At Hildreth & Rueda, in Austin, we regularly defend young people accused of all types of crimes in court and the legal system.

Defending College Students When Bad Choices Lead To Criminal Charges

At Hildreth & Rueda, we believe that one poor decision should not destroy or alter the bright future of college students. Our criminal defense attorneys defend students at the University of Texas at Austin and other colleges who are facing misdemeanor and felony criminal charges or who have been accused of the following crimes:

  • Driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI)
  • Illegal possession or distribution of controlled substances and drugs
  • Criminal assault, including sexual assault crimes
  • Underage drinking or furnishing alcohol to a minor
  • Theft, fraud or white collar crimes

Protecting Your Criminal History To Keep It Clean

Our criminal defense attorneys not only fight for the rights and freedoms of our clients, they also fight to preserve a clean criminal history. At Hildreth & Rueda, we understand how important it is to protect Longhorns and other college students from the lifelong consequences that can result from misdemeanor and felony charges. We seek out options for eligible clients, such as deferred adjudication or pretrial diversion programs that are only available for certain crimes or first-time offenders. We also help clients clear their criminal histories through the expungement process by seeking an order for expunction.
