Legal Help for University Students
Many of the students at our local colleges and universities are originally from North Carolina. However, Duke University, North Carolina State University (NCSU) and the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill (Go Tar Heels!) have a significant number of out-of-state students.
If you are charged with a crime and are a student at a North Carolina college or university, you may not know where to turn to for help. The answer is: turn to us. Our attorneys all live in the area and are UNC graduates. We know the area, the North Carolina laws and the court system. Attorney Mike Paduchowski has successfully represented scores of student cases and understands the delicate issues they can present. You can trust him and The Maitland Law Firm to handle your legal needs.

Your Orange, Durham, Wake County Drinking Attorney
Underage drinking is a status crime. This means that it is a crime simply because you are not yet 21 years of age. You do not have to be legally impaired in order to be charged with underage drinking.
The typical issue that our attorneys have seen with underage drinking is that there are other charges at the same time, such as public indecency or identity fraud.
Attorney Mike Paduchowski and the Attorneys of Maitland Law understand how to defend your criminal charges and also look out for your academic interests. We understand that you're at college to earn a degree and start a career — and we'd like to help you get there by successfully defending your criminal charge.
