Texas Violent Crime Attorney and Criminal Defense Lawyer
As the senior prosecutor of a felony District Court in the State of Texas, much of my caseload involved prosecution of violent crimes. From simple assault to murder, I gained experience in those areas and knowledge as to how violent crimes are investigated and prosecuted.
At the Law Office of John L. Venza Jr., I bring experience as a former prosecutor of misdemeanor and felony violent crimes. Cases I have prosecuted and criminal charges where I can knowledgeably defend you include, but are not limited to:
- Domestic Violence
- Spousal Abuse
- Aggravated Assault
- Sexual Assault
- Sexual Assault of a Child
- Rape
- Aggravated Robbery
- Stalking
- Harassment
- Kidnapping
- Murder/Homicide
Lasting Effects of a Conviction
Conviction of a sex-related or violent crime has lasting effects, often beyond serving a sentence or probation. A sex crime conviction carries with it a serious and dramatic change in your lifestyle after you leave prison or are released from probation. In many ways, you are still doing time by having to register as a sex offender in the State of Texas. Depending on the severity of the charges against you, being convicted in a sex case might force you to move to a new neighborhood, notify local law enforcement that you are a convicted sex offender, and submit to the humiliation of having your name, address, and conviction published in the local newspaper and on the internet.
Aggressive Advocacy
Thorough investigation and aggressive negotiation is important when you are charged with a violent crime. I will thoroughly investigate the State's case, including the arrest procedures, witness statements, and other evidence against you. I will work with prosecutors, some being my former peers, to negotiate the best deal possible.
If there is no agreement on a plea bargain for the violent crime charge, then you can count on me to be your advocate in litigating your case in the courtroom. Your rights, liberties, and reputation are at stake. Let me help you defend them.
I recognize that not all clients require legal services during standard business hours. That is why I make myself available evenings and weekends. For more information or to schedule a free consultation at my office conveniently located off of Highway 59, please contact me.
