Why these cases need careful handling
Texas treats domestic violence as any act—or credible threat—of physical harm by a family member, household member, or romantic partner. A conviction can mean jail, fines, a lasting criminal record, and serious fallout for child custody and employment.
Allegations are sometimes exaggerated or incomplete. Our job is to examine the evidence, the relationships involved, and every available defense—including self-defense where the facts support it.

We represent clients in bench and jury settings and stay reachable as your case develops. Expect prompt return calls, plain-language explanations of bonds and protective orders, and a strategy built around your goals—not a one-size script.
