Frequently Asked Questions
Can assault charges be dropped if the victim doesn’t want to press charges?
The victim doesn’t decide — the prosecutor does. However, an uncooperative victim can significantly weaken the state’s case. We know how to leverage this effectively.
What’s the difference between assault and aggravated assault?
Aggravated assault involves serious bodily injury or use of a deadly weapon. It’s a second-degree felony (2-20 years) compared to simple assault which is typically a misdemeanor.
Will I lose my gun rights?
A family violence conviction results in a federal firearms prohibition. This is one of many reasons to fight these charges aggressively.
What about self-defense?
Texas has strong self-defense laws, including Stand Your Ground. If you were defending yourself, we’ll build that case and fight to prove it.
