When international students are charged with a crime, they face not only criminal charges, but possible removal and deportation from the United States. Certain convictions can also make them inadmissible to the U.S., even if the crime is a misdemeanor under Indiana law. International students who are convicted of a crime of moral turpitude with a possible penalty of one year or longer are deportable. If an international student is charged with a crime, it is important to hire an experienced criminal attorney. It is also prudent to engage an immigration lawyer. No college student should ever appear in court without an attorney. Gibson Law Office has a statewide practice and our attorneys have represented college students all over the State.

New clients often tell us that they are surprised that police didn’t read them Miranda Warnings. Almost everyone is familiar with the Miranda Warning, which is often read when someone is arrested but isn’t required in every situation. Criminal cases begin with an allegation or suspicion that someone has committed a crime. When police have reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed, they can make an investigatory traffic stop, or seek to interview possible witnesses or suspects, without reading the Miranda Warning. Police are trained to interrogate people to obtain evidence. During the initial investigation, anything that you say can be used against you later at trial. If you are a suspect in a crime, you should exercise your right to remain silent and your right to an attorney.

Indiana has a new law that allows persons subject to a protective order that has been dismissed or denied to expunge the records of the protective order. Protective orders are searchable in law enforcement databases as well as on the public protective order registry, which could subject you to questions from employers, even when a protective order has been dismissed. If you have been the subject of a protective order and want the records related to the protective order expunged, call Gibson Law Office.

When you need an experienced criminal defense team, we can help.

Motions to suppress may be a valuable tool in defending your criminal case. Motions to suppress can be filed challenging a search, a confession, or even an arrest. Motions to suppress can be pursued in order to see what additional evidence the state may present at trial as well as challenge the constitutionality of police conduct. Prevailing in a motion to suppress may result in a dismissal or greatly improved resolution. If you have pending criminal charges contact an experienced attorney at Gibson Law Office who can plan a strategy to best defend your case.
