Assault Charges

The most common misunderstanding people have about domestic family violence is that your partner/spouse/girlfriend has authority to drop charges when emotions cool. The reality is that once assault charges are filed by the State, only the State, not the alleged complaining witness, decides whether charges are dismissed. Thus, if you are accused of domestic family violence in Texas, remember the following:

• When the police respond to a domestic dispute, they are not there to mediate on your behalf or to help your family resolve an argument. They are there to arrest someone - usually (though not always) a man.
• If you have been arrested and charged with domestic violence or domestic abuse, you need a defense lawyer who has experience fighting these cases in court; one who understands when it's best to negotiate for a better solution.

The consequences of a domestic family violence conviction can be severe because the charge could go on your permanent record, and you could face possible jail time. There are many opportunities in domestic family violence cases for an experienced lawyer to negotiate for a better outcome/ resolution. Give us a call and see how we can help you.
