Build A Strong Defense To Protect Your Rights

Ryan Kolbeck

I’m Here To Fight For College Students Facing Serious Accusations

College is a time when many young people experience living on their own for the first time. It’s an incredibly powerful moment in a young person’s life, but it’s not without risks. If you or your adult child is suddenly facing serious criminal charges while in college, you need help.

My name is Ryan Kolbeck, and I’m a criminal defense attorney based in Sioux Falls, serving those throughout South Dakota. I was born and raised here, and I know what kinds of risks students in the area face. I’m a dedicated defender of the rights and freedoms of all my clients, and I will do what it takes to preserve your future.

The Risks Of College Criminal Convictions

Criminal allegations can arise in college settings for any number of reasons. People end up at lots of parties and in confusing situations. There may also be easy access to drugs. Most often, students or their parents come to me because of charges such as:

  • Underage drinking/underage driving under the influence (DUI)
  • Drunk driving
  • Drug possession/trafficking
  • Sex crimes
  • Assault

I always advise my clients to exercise their right to remain silent because talking to police and prosecutors about any of these crimes is my job. I know how to get more information without implicating you and control the flow of information about your whereabouts and actions. My job is to protect your future.

What Do Criminal Allegations Mean For College Students?

One additional wrinkle that can surface in college student criminal charges is the possibility of facing administrative penalties or inquiries from the school. Most colleges maintain somewhat strict policies regarding students engaging in criminal activity on campus. Often, students accused of wrongdoing apprehended by college police are pursued exclusively through college disciplinary board proceedings.

Regardless, I will represent you in any college proceeding that decides your fate at the school. I will fight for your ability to attend class and continue to pursue the education and future ahead of you. I have extensive experience with these issues and the tenacity to see your case through.

Your Future Demands A Strong Protector. Turn To Me.

As a criminal defense attorney, I’m used to clients putting their futures in my hands. It’s my duty and privilege to help you defend your name and future in all college criminal allegations. Call my office at 605-937-8376 or send an email to get started.
