Texas Courts Are Harsh On Assault Crimes

If you have been charged with domestic violence assault in the state of Texas, it is extremely important that you contact an experienced lawyer immediately to represent you. Do not make the mistake of thinking that your charges are not that serious or that there is not enough evidence against you. Many courts tend to rule on the side of caution when it comes to domestic violence, penalizing suspected offenders harshly.

Our attorneys at Kyle Law Firm can fight alongside you every step of the way. Drawing on more than 60 collective years of experience, they understand how to protect your rights and reputation.

The Domestic Lawsuit Process

Domestic violence assault charges can be filed in many different circumstances, including those involving physical violence against another person and threats of violence. Oftentimes, when the police are called to assist with a domestic dispute, someone is charged. This does not necessarily mean that those charges will hold up in a court of law, but it is imperative that you have a criminal lawyer who understands the intricacies of Texas assault family violence laws.

For first-time offenders, domestic violence assault charges are often considered a misdemeanor if no weapon is used. However, if second or third charges are filed at a later time, the magnitude of the charges increases, and after a few misdemeanors, the domestic violence charge will be considered a felony. This is why it is so important for you to fight hard against every criminal charge.

Convictions Are Life Changing

Even a misdemeanor conviction can cause unforeseen problems in the future. Some of the consequences of a violent crime conviction include the following:

  • You may be ineligible for several different types of jobs, such as teaching, law enforcement or nursing.
  • You may be prevented from being able to purchase a firearm for up to five years.
  • If you are going through a divorce or custody battle, then a charge of this magnitude can also jeopardize your chances in family court.

Give your case a fair shot at the best outcome possible by having an aggressive lawyer from Kyle Law Firm represent you. Our attorneys are knowledgeable in the various Texas family violence laws and will use their skills and experience to try to reduce your charges or even have them dropped entirely. What may seem like a personal domestic dispute to you can turn into something very serious if you are not properly represented in court.
