School Crimes
School Crimes Attorney Serving the State of Delaware
Crimes committed on Delaware school property are prosecuted the same as crimes not committed on school grounds from a legal standpoint. However, Delaware school crimes carry with them the possibility of additional penalties such as suspension or expulsion.
Frequently with school crimes, the prosecution may be more aggressive and seek harsher penalties for crimes involving physical injuries to either a teacher or fellow student.
Being accused of a school crime should be taken very seriously. You should consult with and retain a skilled and experienced Delaware Crime Defense Attorney.
