Assault Charges

When your future and your freedom are on the line, you cannot afford to rely on a generic legal defense. Our firm handles assault allegations by deploying a comprehensive legal team that understands how Texas prosecutors build cases. We review every police narrative, cross-examine initial statements, and look for structural flaws in the state’s case from day one. A better understanding is essential when you are facing assault charges with a strategic approach focused on keeping your record clean and defending your image. Our strategic approach includes:

• Self-Defense (Texas Penal Code 9.31): Demonstrating that your physical response was completely justified and proportionate to protect yourself against someone else’s unlawful use of force.

• Defense of Others or Property: Proving that your actions were legally justified to prevent immediate physical harm to a family member, an innocent bystander, or to protect your home from illegal trespass.

• Lack of Intent or Knowledge: Proving that the contact or threat was accidental, unintentional, or not reckless, this may involve demonstrating a required lack of the offense; we will challenge the credibility of witnesses and the validity of any physical evidence presented.

• False Allegations: Uncovering motives for false accusations, such as vindictiveness in a relationship, a custody battle, or a desire for revenge. We will gather evidence and cross-examine to expose the truth.
