After a domestic argument at a residence, the client threw a remote that struck the complainant, was shoved, and then delivered a single slap near the ear. Officers responded, took statements, and arrested him, and a no contact bond condition followed. We stepped in early, moved to address the bond, and advised proactive mitigation such as anger management and conflict resolution. We also documented that the complainant did not wish to pursue charges and pressed the prosecutor on proof without a willing witness. The state declined to proceed and dismissed the case.

Police issued our client a Class C family-violence assault citation after a heated argument where brief physical contact was alleged.

We prepared the matter for trial and laid out the evidentiary gaps to the prosecutor. The state dismissed the charge.

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Irving Municipal Court

Allegations

While attempting a pickup in a congested private lot, our client drove through an exit lane to reach the curb. A person ran up, yelled to stop, and moved alongside the vehicle. Feeling threatened, the client eased forward to leave and there was brief contact alleged as offensive contact using a vehicle. We obtained the video and police materials, highlighting unclear footage, the complainant's approach toward the car, and lack of injury. After targeted negotiations, the State agreed to deferred probation, protecting the client from a conviction.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Dallas County, 195th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute where a cell phone video, later shared with police, allegedly showed our client displaying a handgun during an argument. No firearm was recovered, and the state's case hinged on the video and family statements. We scrutinized the footage, challenged how it could be authenticated, and highlighted inconsistencies in accounts. While ready to litigate those evidentiary issues, we leveraged them in negotiations. The result was deferred adjudication probation, avoiding prison and a final conviction.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Garland Municipal Court

Allegations

Police issued a Class C family violence citation after a heated household dispute. Our client reported being struck and had visible facial injuries, yet officers relied on the other side's version and wrote him up. Once retained, we obtained the 911 call the client placed earlier, the later call to police, and the responding officers' body camera footage. Comparing those records to the statements revealed contradictions and undermined any claim of self defense. We presented the issues to the prosecutor, and the case was dismissed.
