All marriages and dating relationships have difficult periods. Sometimes an argument is just an argument. However, when the police show up and arrest you on family violence charges, lives and reputations can be ruined and your civil rights put in jeopardy. For example, the right to own and carry a gun can be affected. Obtaining immediate legal representation from a skilled criminal defense attorney can help keep a bad situation from getting worse.

Skilled Fort Bend County Domestic Violence Attorney
Ft. Bend County takes family violence very seriously. The district attorney's office maintains a grant-funded division dedicated exclusively to prosecuting domestic abuse cases. They have significant resources at their disposal. If you have been accused of domestic abuse, you need a Texas criminal defense lawyer who can stand up to such formidable opposition.
I have handled countless family violence cases, both as a prosecutor and as a criminal defense lawyer. I know the county's legal system, the people and their tactics. I know how to approach victims in order to minimize testimony, such as highlighting instances where victims later denied or downplayed their accusations. When you are my client, I will use every resource at my disposal to your benefit.
Brazoria County Family Violence Criminal Defense Lawyer
As a former prosecutor in Brazoria County, both misdemeanor and felony, I am an excellent lawyer to prevent you from being convicted of your family violence charge in Brazoria County. My relationship with the DA's office and with the Judges results in your defense being taken seriously by the other side.
I have been extremely successful in having family violence cases in Brazoria County completely dismissed. There are many paths towards a dismissal. Some involve an affidavit of non-prosecution from the complaining witness. Others will involve you possibly taking an anger management class while your case is pending. And others involve the relentless destruction of the complainant's credibility and the exposure of the falsity of the family violence allegations against you. Whichever path your case calls for, know that I stand ready to fight for the reduction if not outright dismissal of your Brazoria County domestic violence case.
