This blog explores why Attorney Shanlon Wu is the best choice for student defense, with extensive experience handling academic misconduct cases, Title IX violations, and student criminal charges. If you’re facing disciplinary action, DC Student Defense can help protect your education and future.
A Background in Both Law and Higher Education
What sets Shanlon Wu apart is his unique background in both criminal defense and education law. As a former federal prosecutor and a defense attorney with decades of experience, he knows how to handle complex legal cases. But more importantly, he understands how colleges and universities operate, including their disciplinary processes and administrative policies.
Many schools have their own systems for handling student conduct cases, which often lack transparency and fairness. Unlike a criminal court, university disciplinary hearings don’t always provide students with the right to an attorney, and decisions are often based on subjective interpretations of school policies. With Shan Wu on your side, you have an advocate who understands how to challenge unfair disciplinary actions and ensure your rights are upheld.
Defending Students Against a Wide Range of Accusations
Students can face a variety of legal and disciplinary issues that threaten their academic careers and personal futures. DC Student Defense represents students in cases involving:
- AI-Generated Cheating Accusations – Many schools now use AI detectors to flag potential cheating, but these tools are unreliable and frequently produce false positives. If you’ve been accused of academic dishonesty based on an AI detector, you need a defense that challenges the validity of the evidence.
- Title IX Cases – Accusations related to sexual misconduct can have life-changing consequences. Shan Wu and his team help students navigate Title IX investigations to ensure they receive due process.
- Campus Disciplinary Hearings – Universities often prioritize their own interests over fairness. DC Student Defense works to protect students in cases involving academic integrity violations, plagiarism accusations, hazing allegations, and other student conduct violations.
- Criminal Charges for College Students – Students sometimes find themselves facing criminal charges such as DUI, drug possession, or assault. These charges can lead to serious legal consequences beyond school disciplinary actions. Having a strong defense attorney is crucial to protecting your future.
Protecting Your Academic and Professional Future
A student misconduct charge can follow you beyond college. Expulsions, suspensions, and academic dishonesty violations can appear on transcripts and background checks, making it difficult to transfer schools, apply for graduate programs, or secure jobs. Criminal charges can carry even more severe consequences, including jail time, fines, and a permanent criminal record.
Having a student defense attorney ensures that you have the best possible chance at a fair outcome. Shan Wu and his team take a strategic approach to each case, working to minimize penalties, challenge unfair accusations, and protect students’ futures.
