Assault charges often come down to conflicting accounts, heated moments, and incomplete evidence. I make sure the whole story gets told — and hold the State to its burden of proving every element beyond a reasonable doubt.
In Texas, assault ranges from a Class C misdemeanor for threats or minor contact all the way to a second- or first-degree felony for aggravated assault involving a weapon or serious injury. A conviction can mean jail or prison, steep fines, and a violent-crime record that limits your job, your housing, and your rights.
Many assault cases involve self-defense, mutual conflict, or outright false accusations. Those are defenses — and I know how to build them.
Up to 1 year in jail and a $4,000 fine for causing bodily injury.
2–20 years in prison when a weapon or serious bodily injury is involved.
Assault against a family or household member carries added consequences and future enhancements.
General guidance only, not legal advice. Enhancements and prior offenses change exposure significantly. Call for advice on your specific situation.
You have the right to protect yourself and others. I present the facts that justify your actions.
Accusers exaggerate, misremember, and sometimes lie. Inconsistencies create reasonable doubt.
Injuries, 911 calls, and witness accounts often tell a different story than the arrest report.
Motive, bias, and prior conflict matter. I dig into who's really accusing you and why.
Self-defense is a complete legal defense in Texas. If you reasonably believed force was necessary to protect yourself or someone else, we build the case around that.
False accusations happen, especially in emotional disputes. We investigate motive, gather evidence, and expose the inconsistencies that show what really happened.
Aggravated assault involves a deadly weapon or serious bodily injury, which elevates it to a felony with far harsher penalties. The distinction is critical to your defense.
Not always. Depending on the outcome, dismissal or deferred adjudication may keep a conviction off your record, and expunction may be possible. I'll fight for the cleanest result available.
The sooner I'm on your case, the more I can do. Free, confidential consultation — day or night.
