There's a small class of cases that ordinary people seem to find themselves. Assault and DWI cases seem to be among the most common of these matters.  Coincidentally, these two matters are also among the most political cases in Texas law.  An accused can obtain Deferred Adjudication Probation in a murder case, but the law prohibts a DWI defendant from reaching a similar result.  Assault cases have been influenced by similar political forces that can make getting a fair resolution of some cases very difficult. This is especially the case when it comes to allegations of Family Violence. Even Class C, Simple Assault cases have failed to escape these political forces. Every day defendants plead to what they believe is a simple matter they just want to put behind them, just to later find themsleves haunted by unexpected results.

    As serious as these cases are, the fact that most of these types of cases are without any evidence other than the testimony of the accused and the alleged victim creates an extremely unjust situation. If you find yourself accused of assault, it is critical that you retain competent and zealous counsel as early as possible. You need an advocate that can help you understand how these cases are prosecuted, and what can be done to prepare the strongest possible defense. Ask our attorneys if they've handled any cases like yours. Ask what kinds of results they've achieved. We think you'll be encouraged.

    Another complication that often accompanies these cases is the emergence of a divorce or civil protective order matter. Defending against one case is bad enough; you certainly want to do everything you can to avoid finding yourself in another. Here again, there is no substitute for experienced counsel.
