Domestic Violence Lawyer

A Strong Defense Against Aggressive Prosecution

Domestic violence is one of the charges in Texas that the legal system prosecutes the most aggressively. Even if the other person decides that they do not want to press charges, the state itself can still prosecute you. A good domestic violence lawyer can make the difference.

In addition to the criminal punishment, there is a social stigma that can affect your job prospects and other promising opportunities. Our goal is to reduce or dismiss your charges so that this one event doesn’t follow you for the rest of your life.

What Is Domestic Violence?

In Texas, domestic violence is any threat or harm between two family or household members. This could be between you and your roommate, your parent, your child, your spouse, your child’s other parent or your former partner, among others.

Violence is a broad term. It can encompass threats of physical harm as well as physical acts like shoving or hitting.

Since there is no official “domestic violence” category, this violence is usually charged as assault, sexual assault, child neglect, child abuse or kidnapping, among others.

Make Sure Your Story Is Told Accurately

In situations as stressful as these, it can be hard for law enforcement to figure out exactly what happened. Minor disputes can escalate in unexpected ways. Sometimes self-defense is even prosecuted as aggression.

When it comes down to two sides of the story, we want to make sure your side is told accurately. When you are honest with me, I can be honest with you about your options. We can discuss potential tactics and strategies to reduce or dismiss your charges and make your family whole again.

Speak Only To a Domestic Violence Lawyer

Police provide an aggressive line of questioning, and sometimes your answers can be used against you or used to charge you with higher counts. I know because I used to prosecute cases  during my time in the DA’s office. Do not talk to the police without a lawyer present. I know that the police report may be inaccurate or incomplete, so I will do my own questioning and research myself.
