Effective Criminal Defense in Texas
Claims of interference with an emergency phone call can be made when a person feels threatened and attempts to make a 911 call. There are many things the prosecution must prove in order to successfully bring this charge against you. They will attempt to show that you were uttering threats: threatening battery or threatening bodily harm.
I will fight the government's case for you. You and I will work to prove that the alleged victim was not in imminent danger or in fear of an imminent assault.
