Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Impeding Breath or Circulation)

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, our client was later arrested on a warrant for felony assault family violence, accused of impeding breath. He consistently denied choking and reported he was struck first. We obtained the state’s files, gathered our client’s photos documenting his own injuries, and secured records from a prior incident where the complainant had been arrested and placed on probation for assaulting him. We compared statements and flagged credibility problems, along with the delayed report. Confronted with those issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law No. 6

Allegations

A domestic dispute at a shared residence led to an arrest for family violence. Our client reported he tried to leave while the other party blocked his exit and struck him. We secured the police reports and discovery, compared the accounts to text messages and photos showing his own injuries, and documented a prior incident where the complainant was arrested for assaulting him. We also identified a potential witness in the home. Faced with these credibility issues, the state reduced the case and agreed to credit for time already served.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute that began in a vehicle after a night out. Both parties had been drinking, and the arrest was made largely on the other person's initial statement, even though our client had visible injuries. We obtained the 911 call, bodycam and dashcam, and compared those recordings to the reports. The accounts conflicted on who initiated any physical contact and there was little corroborating evidence. We documented the complainant’s unwillingness to prosecute and pressed these credibility issues with the prosecutor. The case was dismissed.

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Collin County, 199th District Court

Allegations

Police opened a family-violence strangulation case after a domestic dispute, and the client was later arrested on a warrant when he appeared to address protective-order paperwork. We got involved immediately, coordinated bond and a jail visit, and obtained the reports and evidence. The complainant told us she did not want to pursue the case, which we documented and presented to the prosecutor. With no prior record and limited cooperation from the complainant, we negotiated deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction if conditions are completed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (With Prior Conviction)

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

A domestic dispute at the client’s workplace led to a report that he restrained a partner by the arms and grabbed a shirt. Officers later obtained a warrant and filed a felony family-violence charge enhanced by a prior case. We moved quickly to obtain 911 audio, reports, and any available video, and compared the complainant’s initial account with later statements. There were no injury photos and limited corroboration. We pressed these weaknesses in negotiations and secured deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute at a residence where officers arrested our client after hearing the complainant’s initial account. The client reported he was attacked first, showed visible scratches and marks, and consistently asserted self defense. We gathered his injury documentation and mapped the timeline, noting that the only other witness would not corroborate the complainant. We pressed for discovery and highlighted credibility gaps and lack of corroboration. The complainant then stopped cooperating. Facing proof problems, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Collin County, Plano Municipal Court

Allegations

A minor parking lot dispute led to a citation for assault by contact. As our client tried to get back into the car, the other driver stood in the doorway, and the client briefly used an arm to make space and leave. Officers arrived and issued a Class C ticket. We obtained bodycam and reports, which showed no injury, momentary contact, and the complainant’s account shifting about the amount of force and who was blocking whom. We pressed those issues and made clear we were ready for trial. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Collin County, Wylie Municipal Court

Allegations

The client received a mailed citation alleging assault by contact against a co-parent, with no arrest. We got in early, filed our appearance, coordinated the fingerprinting requirement, and used an attorney bond so the client did not have to be booked. We obtained discovery and emphasized the disputed nature of the allegation and timeline. At our direction the client completed an anger management course and provided the certificate. With those issues on the table and mitigation in hand, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Injury to a Child, Elderly, or Disabled Individual

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Later, the youth was seen nearby, words were exchanged, and our client admits a single slap occurred. An arrest warrant followed for injury to a child. We investigated the encounter, gathered context on how it started, and highlighted the client’s clean record and the limited nature of the contact. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Collin County, Anna Municipal Court

Allegations

Police issued a Class C family violence citation after a heated dispute at a home. The client reported stepping between relatives and only pushing the other person’s hand, which held a phone, to create space. We gathered sworn statements from three eyewitnesses and reviewed bodycam, documenting minimal contact and a defense-of-others rationale. We presented this evidence to the prosecutor, who agreed to place the case on a short supervisory hold with a minor administrative step. After the hold elapsed with no further issues, the charge was dismissed.

An ex-partner showed up uninvited at our client's place, an argument followed, and the client called police after the other party blocked their exit. Officers first contacted the complainant, then the client, and no immediate arrest was made. Days later a warrant issued after the complainant submitted injury photos. We gathered the 911 and police records, the timeline, texts showing the complainant repeatedly contacting the client afterward, and video of the complainant lingering near the location. We highlighted the delayed photos and inconsistent accounts to the prosecutor, who dismissed the case.
