Your Defense Starts Here

Committed To Protecting Your Future

College is a time for experimentation with ideas and behaviors, and for having fun. Sometimes, students make mistakes that put them at odds with the law.

I am attorney Frank Harper of Everett & Hite, L.L.P. I believe that every person deserves a solid defense when accused of a crime. If you are a student at East Carolina University, Pitt Community College or another school in eastern North Carolina, contact me by email for a free and confidential consultation.

College Mistake? Reach Out To Me.

A “youthful mistake” can lead to a criminal record, making future employment and higher education more difficult to attain. In my law practice, I attempt to limit the consequences of criminal offenses, including:

Underage drinking violations and possession of a fake ID
Underage possession of alcohol offenses
College student drug violations, including drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia
Misdemeanor and felony drug charges for offenses that include trafficking and manufacturing
Traffic offenses, including reckless driving and speeding
Disorderly conduct
Vandalism
Simple assault
Public intoxication
Drunk driving
Shoplifting
Larceny or theft of personal property

I am qualified to represent your case whether you need an advocate to defend your side before student conduct and rights boards or in court.

Don’t Let A Student Arrest Ruin Your Future — Seek Expungement

An arrest or conviction for a crime can have serious implications for a young person’s future. Employers, colleges and graduate schools perform background checks that can reveal a criminal conviction — or even an arrest for which charges were later dropped.

I have assisted young people by clearing them of charges or pleading for lesser charges with less serious penalties. When possible, I encourage my clients to pursue expungement of charges or convictions from their criminal records.
